Justice League: Generation Lost #11 review

The members of Justice League International have split into two teams to check out Checkmate cells reactivated by the murderous Maxwell Lord. The group comprising Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold and Skeets has a quiet issue, discovering a cache of new OMAC androids, but Ice, Fire and Rocket Red? It’s fair to say they’re […]

Wonder Woman #40 review

This one, as they say, has it all – giant serpent gods, Washington DC in flames, the return of Etta Candy and Steve Trevor, a surprise guest star and five very naughty boys. The story sees Diana investigating when something big and mysterious swallows a subway train. Being tougher than a serpent’s tooth, she soon […]

Wonder Woman #38 review

Wonder Woman stares defiantly off Aaron Lopresti’s cover, one eye plunged into darkness as light strikes the bar of her cell. You can see this isn’t a heroine about to sit meekly in a cell.

The rule is amply demonstrated this issue as […]

Wonder Woman 26

It’s months since DC announced that The Rise of the Olympian was the epic that would create a new buzz around Wonder Woman.

Wonder Woman 23 review

The Ends of the Earth storyline concludes with Diana battling nasty demon chap D’grath in Washington while her barbarian allies remain in whichever sword and sorcery dimension they were in last month. I think it was that of Claw the Unconquered, but one sword and sorcery scenario is much like any another to me, Mart […]
