Justice League #7 review

The Justice League are facing several problems. Actually, ‘problems’ is understating things enormously. There’s new villain team The Legion of Doom. The mystery incursion they’re calling The Totality. The predicted end of the Multiverse in a year’s time. And the evil planet Umbrax that’s out to pull a corrupted Earth into its evil galaxy. I […]

Batgirl #26 review

Grotesque is back on the Gotham crime scene and Batgirl is pursuing him after his latest murder. Flashbacking like crazy, Barbara Gordon wonders what’s made him go from electric-boogalooter to bogeyman, art thief to psycho-killer. Instead of simply stealing, he’s murdering the owners and posing them as historic masterworks. Dead man becomes still life fruit […]

Catwoman/Tweety and Sylvester #1 review

Hubble bubble, toil and trouble… a conclave of witches are having a night out. And a bit of a disagreement. What does best flavour the witches’ brew? A fat cat or a basted bird? To settle the matter, a representative of each creature category is sent to the Earth realm. The pussy drops in on […]

Lex Luthor/Porky Pig #1 review

Porky Pig is the big man in town, boss of a Wall Street cryptocurrencies firm. Until everything goes (pork) belly up. He’s lost it all to a hacking scandal. Money. Position in society. Girlfriend. He contemplates suicide, but can’t go through with it. Meanwhile, in Washington, greedy industrialists Dr Sivana and Professor Ivo are likewise […]

Suicide Squad Annual #1 review

The Suicide Squad are off in Atlantis, dealing with events that worry the US government. Unfortunately, crises don’t always come in ones, and back at Belle Reve, a prisoner named Cadence Laramie wakes in the medical facility. She shared a cell, but not in the conventional sense. She escapes, leaving a pile of bodies in […]

West Coast Avengers #1 review

Land sharks are attacking Santa Monica. Massive-jawed, lumbering brutes with meat on their mind. Luckily, there’s a superhero around. Unluckily for Hawkeye Kate Bishop, her skills as a bowperson aren’t a lot of good against a mob of monsters. So she’s calling for help. Two archers. That should make all the difference. Despite their longtime […]

Action Comics #1002 review

The issue opens with a recap page similar to last month’s. On the streets of Metropolis, it’s not business as usual. Daily Planet chief Perry White isn’t impressed by new reporter Robinson Goode’s apparently uncritical acceptance of the idea that the Man of Steel is murdering criminals. After tearing a strip off her, Perry lets […]

Extermination #1 review

The original X-Men are going home. Or being killed. Maybe they’re going to be absorbed into their elder selves (as the older Cyclops is currently dead, that could be interesting!). I don’t know. All I know is that this mini-series aims to clean house, get rid of the X-Men brought from the past to the […]

Aquaman #39 review

Atlantis has been raised from the sea, a subconscious wish by Aquaman acted on by magical metal. The surface world is deeply suspicious and Amanda Waller has sent the Suicide Squad to bomb Atlantis back under the water. And if some people die… …actually, despite being criminals, not all the Squad members – specifically Harley […]

Titans #24 review

Tasked with intercepting ‘Emergent’ crises, manifestations of leaked Source Wall energy among Earth’s populace, the Titans are called to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. There, they find themselves in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. Or so it seems, what with ruddy great monsters, a cheeky Elf and… While clearing regular folk out of the […]
