The Amazing Spider-Man #1 review

Hey, it’s The Amazing Spider-Man #1, I’ve not reviewed one of those since 2018! I liked that one, but quickly fell off the series – too many gangsters. So how’s the latest debut issue? Pretty great, actually. I was grabbed from the opening scene, vignettes of Peter Parker interviewing for a new job, starting with […]

Action Comics #1085 review

Superman helps climate crisis scientists defend their research from sabotage, cybernetically enhanced polar bears and retro robots – and behind the scenes, there’s a classic supervillain. Doesn’t that sound fun? And it is, in parts. Oh yes, I forgot to mention, Superman dresses for Greenland. Later, after the bears have vanished – literally. It’s nice, […]

This week I also read…

… not much, Steve and I are on a seven-night voyage sailing from Southampton, UK, to Boston, US. Well, that was the plan, but predicted bad weather in the Atlantic turned it into a ten-day cruise from Southampton, UK, to New York, US. Bang went our planned dinner with Dr Anj of Supergirl Comic Box Commentary fame, […]

JSA #6 review

It’s a tale of two Wildcats as the Ragnarok storyline goes on and on… I guess that’s Ragnarok for you. The original Wildcat, Ted Grant, shows fighting ability isn’t the only reason he’s been such an asset to the Justice Society of America since the beginning. He doesn’t have a magic lantern, wings or a […]

Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma #1 review

Mitch Shelley is back. Every time he dies, he returns with a new super power. In the past death has come with alarming frequency, as he found himself dragged into one battle after another. It’s a while since the heroes of the DC Universe have heard from him. He’s been taking a break. Sneaking off […]

Go back 25 years, though, and comics were celebrating the arrival of a new century. The JSA series which made the team a hit with a whole new audience had just begun – […]

Superman #24 review

Oh Mercy, and you were doing so well… Mercy Graves, right-hand woman of Lex Luthor when he was evil, current manager of Supercorp, shocks Superman with the results of her R&D division. Maybe these drones can do some good, but the designs alone would scare ordinary folk. While Mercy and recovering villain Lex show what […]

Justice League Unlimited #5 review

A handful of Justice Leaguers have been assigned to protect world leaders at the G20 summit in Sydney. A high-profile event such as this is just the sort of place super-terror group Inferno would strike. The heroes on call are Star Sapphire, Green Lantern, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Flash and Impulse. Plus, one Global Guardian. Doubting […]

The Question: All Along the Watchtower #5 review

Cyborg Superman and his merry band of bad guys and possessed heroes have taken over the JLU Watchtower. And he’s going to blow it to smithereens… just because. The countdown is on, the satellite will explode within the hour unless Question Renee Montoya can save the day. And to do that she must take down […]

Challengers of the Unknown #4 review

Now this is interesting. This Justice League Unlimited spin-off has presented a series of team-ups between solo Challengers and Leaguers, linked by a mystery. And the pattern continues this issue, but after Red and Green Lantern’s recce of a ‘Darkseid anomaly’ – weird science in the wake of the villain’s recent disappearance – we find […]
