Supergirl #13 review

Well, this issue proved to have more ramifications for Kara than expected. Part three of the Girl of No Tomorrow story, it concludes the Fatal Five’s visit to National City. As we join her, Supergirl is fighting the Emerald Empress to protect the populace, but she has an image problem. Outside the city confines, enemy […]

Supergirl Annual #1 review

With great power comes great responsibility. That’s never been more true for Kara Zor-El than when her abilities are mysteriously boosted. With a super-sized Solomon Grundy attacking National City, she’s denied the opportunity to learn to work within her new limits. Then, out of the blue, a self-proclaimed saviour arrives. Elsewhere, we have two other […]

Supergirl #12 review

Supergirl has been shot by Cat Grant. Or has she? Is Supergirl truly amped up, or has the purple ray actually taken away her adeptness at controlling her powers? Rather than get checked out by her scientist friend Dr Veritas, Kara decides to show up at school, for fear her constant absences will get her kicked […]

Green Lanterns #23 review

It’s back to school for Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz as they’re summoned to Mogo for Green Lantern training. Simon has already had some lessons, so he’s on the advanced course.

Because this is the one we’ve been waiting for, the team-up between Superman and Supergirl that shows us these two […]

Superboy #30 review

Superboy gets another new creative team in the shape of writer Aaron Kuder and artist Jorge Jimenez Moreno and that’s the only reason I’m back buying this frustrating series. Kuder – currently wowing fans with his art on Superman over in Action Comics – showed promise as a writer with last year’s Parasite special. And […]

Flash #12 review

It’s the final instalment of the Road to Flashpoint storyline, and the last issue of this run. And while it’s a safe bet there’ll be a new volume along in a few months, for once a book that’s ending feels like a conclusion. That’s because writer Geoff Johns closes the book on the subplots that […]

Blackest Night: The Flash #1 review

Behind a clever cover by Scott Kolins homaging the recent Flash: Rebirth #1 we see what’s going on in Central City as the Black Lanterns rise. Barry Allen zips around warning the meta-community to be on their guard, before racing to Africa’s Gorilla City where he hopes wise King Solovar will have some ideas on […]
