Justice League 3000 #14 review

In which the immortal goddess Ice returns from a sleep of 1000 years. Blue Beetle and Booster Gold teleport to Cadmusworld and straight into the hands of precocious genius Terry. Terry’s sister Teri shows that since dying and being reborn with Barry Allen’s Flash DNA, she’s taken on pieces of his personality. And a strangely […]

Justice League 3000 #9 review

I’m a couple of weeks late with this review. Then again, this comic is set in the 31st century, so maybe not. If you’re just coming in, this is the story of a reborn Justice League, freedom fighters against The Five, massively powerful villains who are taking over the universe. The initial issues were powered […]

Justice League 3000 #1 review

It’s the 31st century – do you know who your heroes are? Here’s Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash and Green Lantern, the Justice League, reborn to deliver paradise back to the people from whom it’s been snatched away. But do they have what it takes? Some of the superbeings we meet in this debut […]

Trinity of Sin: Phantom Stranger #11 review

As is often the case with event storylines, the best work appears around the edges, in crossovers. I had my reservations a couple of weeks back, but DC are playing fair in that while an engaging, worthwhile read, this issue doesn’t look to be essential to the Trinity War storyline in the Justice League books.

Trinity of Sin: Phantom Stranger #9 review

Did you spot that we have a new title this time? A longer title, announcing that we’re entering Crossover Land? Our guide is the Phantom Stranger, currently positioned by DC as one of the Trinity of Sin, the other points being Pandora and the Question. One of them, the Question, cameos this issue, but really, […]

Doom Patrol #7 review

This is one of those comic books in which the stars of the show hardly appear, but you’re having such a good time it’s barely noticeable. So Robotman, Elasti-Woman and Negative Man are off panel until the final page of the story, recovering from the events of Blackest Night and awaiting transport home. This leaves […]

Doom Patrol #6 review

After two issues of Blackest Night, in which a dark figure wears the flesh of the dead, here’s an issue about a dark figure who wears the flesh of the dead . . . Negative Man. But that’s where the similarities between the founding Doom Patrol member and zombies-come-lately the Black Lanterns end. For Larry […]

Doom Patrol #1 review

They’re back, the world’s strangest heroes – Robotman, Negative Man, Elasti-Woman (she’s grown up!) and the world’s dodgiest leader, the Chief. As we join them, he’s sent the Patrol on a mission to stop evil scientist Amanda Beckett from hatching a batch of monster men. Alongside the classic Silver Age team are newer recruits Grunt […]
