Extraordinary X-Men #1 review

The Secret Wars are over, the Terrigen Mists are sterilising mutants, Cyclops has done something terrible, everybody hates muties… considering this is meant to be All New, All Different Marvel, it’s surprising how Same Old, Same Old it feels. A new X-Men title should be an event, but it seems little but the details have […]

Futures End #48 review

Looking back to my review of Free Comic Book Day offering Futures End #0, I was really looking forward to seeing where the book went after such a strong start. And the answer is, all over the place. It’s been the Lombard Street of comics, turning on a dime. There have been some great moments […]

Justice League United #10 review

With the threat of Infinitus over, Justice League United and the Legion of Super-Heroes have just one small matter to tie up – the black hole Brainiac 5 created while trying to save the day. Now it threatens to not only pull the heroes in, but to absorb the entire world of Thanagar. Brainy needs […]

Justice League United #9 review

Ultra the Multi-Alien is transforming into the terrible god Infinitus, putting all of space and time at risk. The members of Justice League United and the Legion of Super-Heroes struggle to hold back his demonic heralds while Supergirl bids to stop Ultra’s change on the other end of a space hole. But in order to […]

Justice League United #8 review

Andrew Robinson’s cover is impressive, like something from DC’s long-ago Hawkworld series. I’d rather have had a Legion cover, as they’re the stars this time, but a lot of people like Hawkman looking ‘kick-ass’ (I’m so tired of that term) so hopefully a few casual fans will pick this book up. When we left Justice […]

Justice League United #7 review

We’re halfway through the five-part Infinitus Saga, teaming Justice League United with the Legion of Super-Heroes. After an initial sortie, interstellar baddie Byth and his Cadre henchmen escape with the child Ultra, whose cosmic destiny is, it seems, to become a being named Infinitus and destroy the 31st century. Oops. Byth’s plan involves seeding a space rift […]

Justice League United Annual #1 review

Having rescued hybrid child Ultra the Multi-Alien from the shape-changer Byth, the members of Justice League United might expect a breather. But no, J’onn Jonzz, Equinox and Alanna Strange are confronted by a stranger claiming to be from 1000 years hence, Mon-El of the Legion of Super-Heroes. And he has one mission – to save […]

The new Justice League United team has scored its first victory, rescuing the space child, Ultra, from an intergalactic war. But a price was paid – Hawkman died.So who’s activated his transmitter from across space? The question has Animal Man, Stargirl, Supergirl and Green Arrow racing to a bounty hunter’s den, courtesy of Sardath’s zeta […]

Justice League United: Future’s End #1 review

In the recently debuted Justice League United series, Miiyahbin Marten has just discovered her super-powers and hasn’t yet adopted a superhero identity. Five years in the future she’s Equinox, Canada’s greatest hero. And she has a great new villain: ‘Great’ as in fun, not impressive. It’s the Polargeist, making a polar heist! Equinox makes short […]

Green Arrow: Futures End #1 review

I dropped off Green Arrow shortly after the team of Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino came on the book. Their work was impressive, their direction assured, but not really my cup of tea. Still, new Green Arrow Emiko Queen’s involvement in the Futures End series – co-written by Lemire – intrigued me enough to pick […]
