Superman #27 review

Back in the Seventies a sequence in DC’s Shazam comic had Billy Batson and Uncle Dudley travel the US in a motor home. Along the way they gave the readers history lessons. Sounds corny? It was, a little; it was also wonderful, as DC threw in a little book learning alongside the superheroics. And you […]

Superman #26 review

Jon Kent has been through trials by fire. He’s found out his parents come from another Earth and his dad is Superman. He’s fought monsters both human and inhuman. He’s had his mind corrupted. He’s survived several team-ups with Damian Wayne. Truth be told, he’s getting a little cocky. And when you’re overconfident, and don’t […]

The Titans have moved to New York. Manhattan, to be precise, due to Lilith psychically spotting the word in the mind of just-defeated nemesis Abra Kadabra. Knowing he’s from the future and obsessed with the Titans, they figure that’s where they need to be. So they’re building a headquarters and equipping themselves for action. With […]

Despite his beard, Lois being a brunette again and their being older than their counterparts on this world, the […]

Superman: Lois and Clark #1 review

Lois, Clark and Jonathan are no ordinary family – mom and dad are refugees from another reality, while Junior is heir to an amazing heroic legacy … not that he knows it yet. For Lois and Clark haven’t told their young son that she was a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and he the greatest superhero on the […]

Convergence: Superman #1

They’ve been stuck under an impenetrable, power-dampening dome for a year, but are Superman and Lois Lane downhearted? Are they heck? Clark is on the streets doing his best to fight crime like a minor league Batman, while Lois is his lo-tech Oracle, at his side every step of the way. Knowing Lois, she’d be […]

Action Comics: Futures End #1 review

It’s 2019 and Clark Kent is living in Ethiopia, trying to bring new life to dead ground. He’s retired from being Superman and is relying on the skills he learned on his parents’ Smallville farm. Thousands of miles away in Metropolis, people are getting super powers. A would-be suicide can suddenly fly. A petty crook […]
