Aquaman #1 review

‘Aquaman #1 review’ Gosh, I feel like I’ve typed that line a fair few times over the years – the King of the Seas just can’t keep a series. On the other hand, he’s had a couple of blockbuster big screen outings that have ensured he’s never been far from the centre of the DC […]

Shazam #19 review

There’s a lot going on as the Mr Mind storyline continues, with Mary Marvel confronting Georgia Sivana. Billy is having a heart to heart with the girl he’s been crushing on. And Freddy Freeman, also the victim of possession by the Venusian worm and cast down into the darkness, finds he’s not alone. And with […]

JSA #3 review

Hawkman died last issue. Don’t worry, it’s kind of his thing. Usually he reincarnates immediately, but this time he’s been dragged down to Hell. Dragged down by demons with familiar names. In the Earth realm, meanwhile, Justice Society of America leader Jade is given some comfort as she ponders the whereabouts of Hawkman and other […]

Justice League: The Atom Project #1 review

There’s a guy on a train, furtively moving forward as air force personnel question transport staff about someone they’re looking for. As they get close, he takes drastic action. Escape doesn’t look to be on the cards today, though. Flashback to three weeks earlier, when Ray and fellow Atom Ryan Choi were catching up with […]

Superman #21 review

After the intensity of recent run-ins with Doomsday and the Time Trapper, Superman wants a night off. With wife Lois now having Superwoman powers, she’s able to accompany him to the moon for a game of outsized darts. After that, still more fun. There’s even a team-up with Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld. It’s not all […]

Metamorpho #1 review

DC’s fabulous freak, the original element man, is back, and he’s not alone. Old friends, new enemies and one of the more obscure heroes from the DC Universe are here too. The action takes place in Jump City, new location for Stagg Industries, where a masked figure prowls the corridors. Seconds later, the intruder meets […]

Action Comics #1081 review

The Phantom King, Xa-Du, has returned from exile in time to rally the Phantom Zone escapees who have been causing havoc across the galaxy. The Super Family are primed to hunt them down, even Mon-El, despite the temporary solution around his fatal vulnerability to lead being less effective with every minute that passes. The Daxamite […]

Happy Christmas

Just a quickie to say that if you happen to pass by today… move on quickly, you likely have better things to do. I’m currently having a break in between trying to work out the Christmas dinner timings. But do have a very Happy Christmas, start of Hanukkah, anything you may be celebrating. And if […]

Green Lantern/Green Arrow: World’s Finest Special #1 review

Hal Jordan and Ollie Queen are the hard-travelin’ heroes driving around the United States, ‘finding America’. What they find here is the super-villain Deathstroke, trying to impress a secret organisation by killing Green Lantern and Green Arrow. Of course, putting two veteran Justice Leaguers in the ground isn’t as easy as surprising them with a […]

Action Comics #1080 review

The Phantom Zone criminals who attacked Earth have been defeated, but others have spread out into the universe. And they’re the worst of the worst. The likes of Jax-Ur, whose illegal experiments with rocket ships saw space travel outlawed, leading to one escape route from exploding Krypton being fenced off. Sadistic man-hater Faora Hu-Ul. And […]
