The Flash: Fastest Man Alive #8 review

This week’s DC Digital First Flash offering from the editorial office of Andrew Marino features two eight-page stories, both written by Dave Wielgosz, and while they’re different in tone to one another, they’re both pithy, punchy, satisfying reads. Artist David LaFuente draws the first, Rain on Your Own Parade, in which two people aren’t at […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #6 review

In which all heck breaks loose. Seriously, this issue starts with the evacuation of New Earth and only gets bigger. The inciting incident is the nearness of unfriendly extraterrestrials the Horraz. Active Legionnaires are split between helping the people get to safety via teleport rigs, and defending against the oncoming aliens. The big fight sees […]

Batwoman/Supergirl: World’s Finest #2

It’s Kara Danvers’ last day as an intern at CatCo International and boss Cat Grant is giving her feedback. And it’s not good. But it is ironic. Kara knows that as far as Cat is concerned, she’s correct – she’s a great superhero, but a terrible assistant. In bits, Kara flies from National City to […]

Batman: Gotham Nights #7 review

Joker, Catwoman, Riddler… Killer Moth? The ‘lethal lepidopteran’ doesn’t sit easily on a list of Gotham’s greatest villains – if it wasn’t for his role in the origins of Batgirl, he’d likely never have survived the Sixties. The latest DC Digital First Batman story, though, repositions Killer Moth, massively increasing his role in Batman’s life. […]

Harley Quinn: Make ‘em Laugh #1 review

Her ubiquity across the DC Universe would make you believe otherwise, but Harley Quinn doesn’t spend all her time running with the super-set. Some days she freelances in her old profession of Harleen Quinzel, psychologist. Others, she consults on security matters. So it is that Harley Quinn and her baseball bat embed themselves at Gotham […]

Superman: Leviathan Rising Special #1 review

Ms Leone, the secret Kingpin of the Metropolis Mob, is out shopping. Passing on Jimmy Olsen’s latest book of photography, and Wonder Woman’s self-help volume, she considers a tome on the Justice League. A mystery man appears and offer to buy it for her. What he really wants, though, is knowledge. Later, Clark Kent tells […]

Heroes in Crisis #9 review

It’s the final issue of Heroes in Crisis and the message we’re meant to take away is that Hope is accepting responsibility, bearing your burdens, and carrying on regardless. For me, Hope is continuing to buy a series that, more often than not, just annoyed me. In the end, Hope equals stupidity – I feel […]

DCeased #1 #review

Darkseid is invading Earth. Again. Over the course of a week, the Justice League beat him back. His forces routed, his jaw broken by Superman, Darkseid takes up the League’s suggestion that he get off the planet. But his final words are ominous. When the dust clears, the League wonder what happened to their colleague […]

Justice League #19 review

It’s a fine day in Metropolis. The Source Wall is broken, the Legion of Doom are trying to wake an elder god, but the Justice League members are smiling. And they have a plan. Facing incredible omniversal forces, who better to help than one of the most powerful beings in creation? As it happens, the […]

Doomsday Clock #9 review

A thousand years in the future, Dr Manhattan is souvenir hunting. In the present day, the heroes are leaving Earth and heading into the unknown. In Washington DC, Superman lies near death.
