Justice League #24 review

There’s a colossal, unnatural storm in the Atlantic, threatening the Eastern Seaboard of the US and the Justice League are stepping up. Winds of 200mph are a threat, but when you have several members with super-speed and endurance, what’s to stop you stopping it? How about the wrath of a water witch? Mera plans to […]

Wonder Woman #25 review

How many reviews of Wonder Woman have I begun now with, ‘I’m going to give Wonder Woman another try?’ Well, it’s anniversary time, the alternating Lies and Truth stories are over and it’s the end of Greg Rucka’s run… how could this issue not be interesting? It gets off to a terrific start with Diana […]

Aquaman #25 review

A comic as full of political posturing as Aquaman #25 seems to cry out for a George RR Martin reference. Game of Wet Thrones, maybe. I’ve never read the books, and only managed three episodes of the TV show – too much rumpy pumpy, overly beardy – so don’t have the knowledge to make a […]

Nightwing #21 review

Does a look at a book that came out a fortnight ago count as a Retro Review? I only got around to reading this issue last night, and simply have to pour on the praise. It’s a one-off team-up between Titans buddies Dick Grayson and Wally West, just catching up as they enjoy the Blüdhaven […]

Teen Titans Special #1 review

Damian Wayne’s USP is that he’s a bit of a dick – highly intelligent, but even more arrogant. I’ve defended him down the years as a wild card who can turn a story on its head, disrupting normally smooth-running relationships, injecting extra excitement. This issue, though, he does something unforgivable. Let’s work our way to […]

Justice League of America #7 review

It’s a downtime day for Batman’s Justice League of America. The Caped Crusader is at headquarters checking out the work of weapons maker turned Secret Sanctuary fixer-upper Xenos. In Manhattan’s Museum of Unnatural History, the Atom, Ryan Choi and Killer Frost, Caitlin Snow, have a lead on a cure for the latter’s need to snatch […]

Action Comics #978 review

Superman continues his trip into the past via the Fortress of Solitude’s crystal collection (not available on QVC). Having been told by Mr Mxyzptlk that his history was altered, he’s out to learn what doesn’t match his memories. The problem is, that as his memories were tweaked, reality was tweaked too, so what he sees is […]

Batman #21 review

This is the one we’ve been waiting for – it’s the return of the Samuroids! Not seen since, I think, 2008, the Silver Age Flash villains are back and on amazing form. It takes Barry Allen at least a minute to defeat the katana-crazy robots. Meanwhile, back at the Batcave, Batman is flipping … flipping the […]

Supergirl #8 review

This is the BIG one! Because you DEMANDED it! Read DC’s BEST! Decades ago, you could bet your Junior Justice Society badge that the cover would have one of these lines or a close variation. Because this is the one we’ve been waiting for, the team-up between Superman and Supergirl that shows us these two […]
