Green Lantern #14 review

There’s an awful lot going on in this Absolute Power tie-in, and it’s awfully good. Yes, I sound like an Enid Blyton character, but I loved this comic. There’s so much happening courtesy of writer Jeremy Adams and it’s beautifully presented by penciller Fernando Pasarin, inker Oclair Albert, colourist Romulo Fajardo Jr and letterer Dave […]

Absolute Power #2 review

Resistance is futile! It’s a sci-fi cliche, but not one the heroes who have escaped Amanda Waller’s power-sapping Amazo androids believe. They’re gathered in Superman’s Fortress of Solitude and making plans to take the world back from ‘The Wall’. First order of business, choose a leader. As the veterans argue among themselves, a hero from […]

What is Oliver Queen up to? He’s publicly allied himself with Suicide Squad chief turned dictator Amanda Waller, helping her oppress his fellow superheroes.
