Justice League United #11 review

Justice League United has been one of my favourite DC books of the last few years. Under writer Jeff Lemire it featured a team of likeable characters in traditional, but not staid, superhero adventures. Now it’s been turned over to Jeff Parker, an author famed for his talent in this area. But he’s going in […]

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 #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 […]

Grayson #2 review

Lor luv a duck, it’s those bloomin’ Yanks, writing about dear old Blighty again …Oh all right, the dialogue’s not too bad in this England-set issue, as Agent 37 – better known as Dick Grayson – decides the best way to blend in with the Leicestershire locals is to use his stunning facility with accents. […]

Grayson #1 review

Dick Grayson is on his first mission as Spyral’s Agent 37. Teamed with veteran Helena Bertinelli, he’s tasked with kidnapping a mule hosting a super-bomb from the Trans-Siberian Express. Dick’s acrobatic, stealth and fighting skills come in handy, but he finally resorts to Spyral’s ‘hypno’ techniques in a bid to succeed.After the horror that was […]

Superman #31 review

The Superman Doomed story continues in splendid form this issue, as writer Scott Lobdell bows out as series writer. His biggest dangling plotline is the problem with Lois, currently a secret psychic puppet of Brainiac. Here she messes up efforts to cure Superman of the Doomsday virus by having him leave Lex Luthor’s prison-turned-hero-hospital. An […]
