Supergirl #13 review

Well, this issue proved to have more ramifications for Kara than expected. Part three of the Girl of No Tomorrow story, it concludes the Fatal Five’s visit to National City. As we join her, Supergirl is fighting the Emerald Empress to protect the populace, but she has an image problem. Outside the city confines, enemy […]

Superman #14 review

The Russian Superman from Earth 30, the Red Son, appears in front of our All-American Boy and asks for help. He’s being pursued by the Gatherers, terrifying monsters who want to consume him on behalf of someone known as Prophecy. And It’s not just him they’re after – they want to consume Supermen from throughout the […]

Action Comics #964 review

Clark Kent has high cholesterol. Who knew? That’s the cutest surprise this issue. Well, you’d expect Superman to be burning off the fat like nobody’s business. Then again, this Clark Kent isn’t Superman. Kryptonian tech and a psychic globe prove it as the pre-Flashpoint Superman, who’s taken over for the recently deceased New 52 version, […]

Superman #51 review

Superman is running diagnostic tests in the Fortress of Solitude because after his recent trials – the Darkseid War, the battle with Vandal Savage and the encounter with Rao – he’s not feeling great. And the results aren’t good – he’s dying. This makes him angry. Not because he’s going to lose his life, but […]

Action Comics #49 review

There’s a moment in this comic that pretty much sums up my reaction to the continuation of the Truth storyline, which features a depowered Superman lost in a world of grumpy people. Thank you, Justice League. This is a frustrating issue. There’s loads of talent on display, from writer Greg Pak to co-writer and layout artist Aaron […]

Superman #41 review

Clark gets a message from an unknown party on his phone telling him to put the TV news on. The report is about super-weapons falling into the hands of Metropolis criminals. The texter leads him and Jimmy to a warehouse where a smooth guy is telling a foreign leader he can 3D print terror technology. […]

Superman #39 review

Well, it’s taken a few issues, but Geoff Johns and John Romita Jr have come up with a Superman story that had me smiling from beginning to end. Last issue saw our hero defeat super-creep Ulysses with a new manifestation of his heat vision that left him with no powers for a day. Then he […]

Superboy #27 review

The big tease at the end of last issue was the reveal of a new version of the Legion of Super-Heroes. This issue? Not a sniff of Saturn Girl, Invisible Kid or the rest of the 30th century’s favourite super-teens. Instead we have, well … The voice in Jon Lane Kent’s head which has been […]

Supergirl #22 review

Last issue, Supergirl fled into deep space, having accepted the idea that Kryptonite poisoning was going to kill her. Enticed to the world of I’noxia, she found a place that could be reshaped by her memories. Then she met a horrific figure, someone who looked like her cousin, but with limbs replaced by sinister technology. […]

Superman #20 review

Ma and Pa Kent are visiting Clark and his family in Metropolis. The City of Tomorrow has never looked more futuristic, Lana Lang-Kent more stunning. And look at that cute puppy! We’re about to meet Clark and Lana’s little girl when … SCRASHK WHAM! Whatever the cause of his reverie, Superman is thoroughly knocked out […]
