Super Sons #6 review

Damian Wayne is a busy kid. If he’s not out with (don’t call him) his best pal Jon Kent, he’s annoying his Teen Titans team. He gets to do both this issue. First, it’s patrol with Superboy or, as Robin calls it, training. We see their different approaches to life. Then, when the Teen Titans […]

Super Sons #5 review

Damian Wayne and Jon Kent triumphed in their first big adventure together, beating the deadly Kid Amazon. And now they’re grounded. Batman, Superman and Lois may be proud of their super-sons but they’re little kids – should they really be shooting off on their own, annoying the likes of Lex Luthor? So Damian is in […]

Super Sons #2 review

Superboy and Robin have some ‘splainin’ to do. They’ve been caught trying to break into Lexcorp by the man who would be Superman himself, Lex Luthor. Of course, Robin has a plan I didn’t say it was a nice plan. This is not the way to stoke the fires of a burgeoning friendship. Still, it […]

Super Sons #1 review,

It’s just another school day for Jon. He stands up for a kid being bullied and for his trouble becomes the target of an especially rough snowball fight. He could win this one easily, he has super strength and heat vision… but he has a secret identity to protect and more importantly, he doesn’t want […]

Secret Origins #2 review

Last month Superman had the cover, this time it’s Batman, next month it’s Wonder … er, Green Lantern. So much for my theory that DC’s traditional Big Three were the opening acts for this origin anthology. Not to worry, the images we are getting are certainly winners, though I’d prefer group shots including the other […]

Batman Eternal #4 review

Three weeks ago I wasn’t sure whether Batman Eternal was going to become a weekly purchase. Well, I’ve just finished the fourth issue and next week can’t come fast enough. Because this is a cracking read, with strong, colourful characters fleshing out a plot that twists and turns through the concrete canyons of Gotham with […]

Superman Unchained #5 review

The opening storyline of the Scott Snyder/Jim Lee showcase continues with a bit of action, a smattering of character work and lots of exposition. Recently revealed first superman Wraith reveals where he’s from during a bid to make Superman feel so apart from everyone else that he’ll join Sam Lane’s secret military project. The elder alien […]
