X-Men Gold #1 review

The war with the Inhumans behind them, the X-Men have moved to New York City. Literally moved the mansion to Central Park. The idea is that they’re no longer hiding from the rest of humanity, making it less likely they’ll be feared and hated. It also makes stopping the latest alien attack more convenient. What […]

Justice League Vs Suicide Squad #6 review

Eclipso has taken over the world. With the Justice League under his influence, the dark god has managed to subsume the populace, turning people against one another. Only the Suicide Squad and Batman remain free – deemed too unimpressive to be of use – and this is the issue in which they show Eclipso what […]

Justice League Vs Suicide Squad #2 review

Here’s a comic that does what it says on the tin as the Justice League and Suicide Squad face off in fine style. Task Force X are on the island of Badhnisia to stop a doomsday cult using a STAR Labs ‘quake pulsar’ to destroy the place. Having just learned of the Squad’s existence, the […]

Wonder Woman #1 review

Diana wants to learn the truth about her past, and needs help. She’s looking for it in the rainforest of Bwunda, but must fight her way past were-creatures before she can get it. Elsewhere, Etta Candy is overseeing Steve Trevor’s operation to intercept a warlord named Cadulo in the same region. Coincidence? The good: writer […]

Wonder Woman: Rebirth #1 Review

We’ve all had days when we don’t know who we are anymore. But for Diana, this is the literal truth. A truth about falsehoods – she’s remembering conflicting stories about her past. Was she made from clay? Or is she the daughter of Zeus. How can she be god of war? What were the circumstances […]

A-Force #1 review

It’s impossible to ignore the huge publicity this comic has generated for Marvel – I’m not sure why the pre-issue furore, it’s not like this is the first comic featuring an all-woman team. It’s not even the first from Marvel, with X-Men and Defenders series being the most recent. It is, I suppose, the first […]

Superman #39 review

Well, it’s taken a few issues, but Geoff Johns and John Romita Jr have come up with a Superman story that had me smiling from beginning to end. Last issue saw our hero defeat super-creep Ulysses with a new manifestation of his heat vision that left him with no powers for a day. Then he […]

Superman #38 review

This is the issue I’ve been waiting for. DC teased that Superman was getting a new super-costume. Then they let us know he was getting a new super power. But they kept the issue’s real Big Moment under their hat. Finally … Ulysses gets a haircut. The lank, blond locks are incinerated as Superman’s new […]

Superman #37 review

I always knew Ulysses was a stinker. Part five of the Men of Tomorrow story sees him admit to Superman that he doesn’t want to save millions of discontented Earth people by transporting them to his adopted planet – he wants to feed them to his world’s core, as fuel. His captive, Superman, is horrified, […]

Superman #34 review

The Ulysses story continues with the new hero being introduced to his birth parents, the Quinns, who sent him off to another dimension because the world was ending, then, two minutes later, found it wasn’t. Oops. Bit of a parenting fail there.But Ulysses is an understanding fella, and he had a nice upbringing on the […]
