JSA #11 review

That’s a pretty great cover illo from Leonardo Romero, it’s a shame we don’t actually have any members of the Justice Society of America on it. Ah, connected covers, what can you do? Does anyone actually sit down with all the issues and stare joyously at the big picture? I tend to like them only […]

Adventures of Superman: Book of El #1 review

Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s Warworld Saga was one of the highlights of the last several years so far as Superman stories go. When it ended, I thought that was it so far as cosmic adventures from Johnson and some very talented artistic partners went. But here we are with a limited series from Johnson and Scott […]

Justice League Unlimited #10 review

The Time Trapper, nee Doomsday, is attacked in Hypertime by Darkseid’s Legion of Super-Heroes. Mortally wounded, he manages to get back to the Justice League Watchtower, where the heroes on hand try to help him. Some kind of auto-defence system won’t let the Flash, Steel. Black Lightning, Blue Beetle and Star Sapphire get near without […]

Superman #29 review

Now here’s a cover guaranteed to put this comic at the top of my reading pile – a devastated Superman mourning the loss of his old friends in the Legion of Super-Heroes. Artist Dan Mora has come up with the perfect tombstone for what looks like a headless Superman to stare at. Speaking of headless, […]

Justice League Red #1 review

The latest Justice League Unlimited spin-off series promises Power Girl, Green Lantern Simon Baz, Red Tornado, Cyborg, Red Canary and Deadman. Only the first three of these appear in this debut issue. Power Girl and Green Lantern receive a mystery summons while out adventuring, as their JLU membership cards glow red and begin to beep. […]

Taking the family out to look at the stars, […]

Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #1 review

Examining a meteoroid, Superman’s robots make a worrying discovery. Luthor does know, and he’s grimacing rather than salivating, angry that science lead Dr Emil Hamilton didn’t find the space rocks before Superman. The Man of Steel wants to know how four new colours of Kryptonite might affect him, so calls in the World’s Greatest Detective. […]
