The Flash #21 review

Here’s an encounter I’ve been waiting for since DC rebooted their comics universe, the first meeting between the Flash, Barry Allen, and Kid Flash, Bart Allen. It comes about because someone is killing people connected to the Speed Force and Barry wonders if the Teen Titan knows anything. Bart though, doesn’t feel like listening to […]

DC Universe Presents #12: Kid Flash review

Kid Flash takes over DC’s showcase title for a fun romp featuring dinosaur teens. Well, why ever not? Teen Titans is part of DC’s Young Justice line, meant to appeal to younger readers. And what kid doesn’t love dinosaurs? They’re giving Bart Allen trouble in this single-issue special, but even he thinks they’re cool. The […]

He tells Barry that ‘the single greatest time anomaly to threaten […]

Superboy #5 review

I hope so, as Superboy’s new solo title deserves to pile on readers. There’s a […]

Young Justice #0 review

JLA communicator cards on the table, I’ve not seen the new Young Justice TV show, bar the odd clip. It’s not hit the UK yet. But I was a fan of the original series by Peter David and Todd Nauck. I was disappointed when the quirky little comic was cancelled so the main characters could […]
