New Super-Man #1 review

In Shanghai, a youth chases another down the street. Bully and victim. So it’s a surprise when, a little later on, the bad boy saves the timid teen from a supervillain. Kenan Kong isn’t all bad. His better instincts take over when victim Luo Lixin is in proper danger, and while he’s soon back to […]

Scooby Apocalypse #1 review

In Paris, a bespectacled young woman releases something sinister into the air. One year later, at the Blazing Man alternate culture festival, a TV reporter and her cameraman are looking for a way to boost ratings. Nearby, a shaggy young man and his massive Great Dane are taking a walk, and if said walk leads […]

DC Universe Rebirth #1 review

My name is Martin Gray. I’m the fastest blogger alive. Well, usually. An 80-page giant containing 62 pages of story takes a little longer to review than you average 32pp book. And DC Rebirth has so much story, so much to chew over. The headline, of course, is that this comic by writer Geoff Johns […]

Titans Hunt #8 review

And so it begins. And ends. Shortly after Titans Hunt began, apparently a sop to longtime fans, it was announced that it would herald the coming DC Rebirth linewide makeover. Which is rather neat, given that Titan Mal Duncan is once more in his old identity of Herald, and a key cog in the plan of […]

Titans Hunt #7 review

The Young Adult heroes of the DC Universe are in trouble, with mysterious forces massing against them as they deal with memories they don’t recognise. Aqualad, Wonder Girl and Nightwing have followed the call of organ music played by Mal Duncan to a tornado-shaped tower. Mal’s pregnant wife Karen is up against the Mad Mod. […]

Adventures of Supergirl Chapter 7 review

Supergirl is the consummate superheroine, so good she can fight a villain in her sleep. Not that she has any choice in the latest instalment of DC’s Digital First spin-off from the CBS show. She’s battling through dreamscape after dreamscape for what seems like years, never quite reaching the weaver of dreams, but never giving […]

DC Digital Adventures of Supergirl Chapter #6 review

Having defeated hacker from hell Vril Dox, Kara’s outside his cell at the DEO, primed to question him – who’s the female he claims is behind recent attacks on Suoergirl and her friends? His taunts fail to get a ride out of the Maid of Might. But Dox is more powerful than she imagined, taking […]

Superman: Lois and Clark #6 review

Everything’s coming home to roost as this mini-series heads towards its conclusion. Lois Lane has been writing books, anonymously, exposing Intergang – now the hi-tech hoods get their hands on her. Superman is heading to her rescue but is delayed by a TV company-created ‘super-villain’ who inadvertently puts the lives of hundreds of motorists at […]

Justice League 3001 #10 review

Supergirl is angry and taking it out on the lizard creatures she, Fire and Ice have found on the razed planet Bodhi. Fire joins in but Ice counsels caution and compassion – yes, the lizards threw a big rock at the Justice League members, but are they really the enemy? The answer comes from an […]

Superman #49 review

The battle with Vandal Savage goes on. It feels like it’s been going on all my life. And maybe a few lifetimes prior to that. But with this issue, it really feels like things are wrapping up. Superman and Wonder Woman are joined by Metallo, the Man With the Kryptonite Heart, as the latest twist […]
