Justice League Vs Suicide Squad #6 review

Eclipso has taken over the world. With the Justice League under his influence, the dark god has managed to subsume the populace, turning people against one another. Only the Suicide Squad and Batman remain free – deemed too unimpressive to be of use – and this is the issue in which they show Eclipso what […]

Justice League vs Suicide Squad #4 review

Dr Polaris. Emerald Empress. Rustam. Lobo. Johnny Sorrow. Five of the toughest nuts around, under the leadership of master manipulator Maxwell Lord. That’s a formidable batch of badness. Superman. Enchantress. Wonder Woman. Captain Boomerang. Flash. Killer Croc. Batman. Harley Quinn. Cyborg. Rick Flag. Katana. El Diablo. Killer Frost. Two Green Lanterns. And Amanda Waller barking […]

Blue Beetle #4 review

It’s the origin of the Blue Beetle. Again. Jaime Reyes debuted in 2006 and came into possession of an alien scarab – and vice versa – when he stumbled across it in a back lot. In 2011, after the Flashpoint event, Jaime found the power-giving parasite in a backpack. Now, in the DC Rebirth era, […]

Batman #13 review

After several issues, we finally get to see the makeshift Suicide Squad in action as Punch & Jewelee, the Ventriloquist and Bronze Tiger bid to help Batman out of a tough situation. The Caped Crusader is slumped before Bane, the criminal’s ally Psycho Pirate and the traitorous Catwoman. At the start of the issue, married […]

Superman Annual #1 review

Clark Kent fears he’s lost his touch. Things aren’t growing well at the Kent farm and this side of Kryptonite poisoning he’s not going to get instant green fingers. Who better to ask for answers than the embodiment of the plant world? Not that Superman gets a chance to call him as Swamp Thing shows up uninvited – […]

Teen Titans #5 review

It’s Wally West to the rescue as the magical mannequins of Abra Kadabra aim to kill his Titans friend and once (and future?) wife Linda Park. Lilith, Aqualad, Donna Troy, Arsenal and Nightwing are all seconds away from death, and scattered around the US. Is even the Fastest Man Alive quick enough to save them? […]

Aquaman #11 review

Aquaman is in bad shape. A battle with Shaggy Man has left him looking like Two-Face in scale-mail. The good that’s come out of the situation, though, is that once again the world is recognising that he’s not an enemy of the US, but a hero. Which doesn’t please Black Manta, whose hostile takeover of […]

Supergirl #3 review

The Cyborg-Superman claims he’s revived Argo City, far out in space. Supergirl knows he’s a killer robot, but also that he commands amazing technology. And he’s convinced her that he’s a transformed version of her father, Zor-El. She has to check his story out. But rather than fly off half cocked, she talks to her […]

Superman #10 review

It had to happen. The son of Superman meets the spawn of Batman in World’s Smallest, paving the way for the upcoming Super Sons series starring Jon Kent and Damian Wayne, the latest Superboy and Robin. Things start off quietly as Jon and best friend Kathy negotiate their school day. On the way home, Jon, […]

The Flash #9 review

As the cover homage to the legendary Flash #123 makes clear, this issue is a tale of two Wally Wests. There’s the first Wally, who went from Kid Flash to Flash, and the younger Wally, the new Kid Flash So far as Wally Jr is concerned, mind, he’s the original, reality tinkering by persons unknown […]
