Batman/Superman #28 review

There’s a giant on the moon. A dead giant. Superman needs Batman’s investigative skills to help solve the mystery, so goes to Gotham to find him. The Caped Crusader is in the middle of a fight with Clayface, so might be expected to be grateful for a super-hand. Not so. And Batman doesn’t cheer up […]

Convergence: Speed Force #1

Can you hear me Tony Bedard? Because I’m clapping. Applauding you for the single best Convergence tie-in of the week. If anyone hasn’t read it, here’s the gen… The Flash, Wally West, is speeding to Gotham City to answer a Justice League alert. He’s taken kids Iris and Jae along with him because he reckons […]

The Flash Annual #3 review

Initial impressions count. As we meet Wally West properly for the first time, he’s spraying a wall with anti-Flash graffiti. His first words on-panel are ‘Screw you, man!’ Remind you of anything? Yep, the intro of the New 52 Wally West, who […]

Superman #30 review

Something has happened in Smallville. Overnight, the citizens have fallen into a coma. In the Bahamas, a honeymooning couple are murdered by something nasty in the water. In Metropolis, Lois uses the Brainiac mental powers she’d supposedly lost to knock Perry out, before accepting her status as Bride of the Collector of Worlds. In the […]

The Flash #30 review

The new Flash creative team of writers Robert Venditti & Van Jensen, and penciller Brett Booth debut and straight away … dismay me. They open with a flashforward to five years in the future, when things are looking distinctly gloomy for our hero because, well, don’t they always? I really don’t care what’s happening with […]

Superman #28 review

Ten out of ten for a striking cover design as Ed Benes follows Aaron Kuder’s lead on this month’s Action Comics to give us an especially earthy treatment. But can you judge the book by this cover? Could the interior actually live up to the exterior, especially after the horror served up by writer Scott […]

Superboy #28 review

Sometimes it’s hard to be a Legion of Super-Heroes fan, grabbing onto every comic with the smallest link to the 31st-Century’s greatest super-team. Hence I had to buy another issue of the pretty appalling Superboy series. Look at that cover – is this a new Legion of Super-Villains in the future currently being visited by […]

Forever Evil: Argus #4 review

Argus agent Steve Trevor, scientist Martin Stein and villain-turned-ally Killer Frost are hiding out from the Crime Syndicate and their Secret Society stooges. They need to figure out how to free the Justice League from the Firestorm matrix before too many personalities cause the nuclear-powered hero to go boom. While she’s been careful not to […]

Superboy #27 review

The big tease at the end of last issue was the reveal of a new version of the Legion of Super-Heroes. This issue? Not a sniff of Saturn Girl, Invisible Kid or the rest of the 30th century’s favourite super-teens. Instead we have, well … The voice in Jon Lane Kent’s head which has been […]

The Flash #26 review

One of my favourite stories from Wally West’s time as the fastest man alive was ‘Nobody Dies’ from his 54th issue. A great little standalone by Bill Loebs, Greg LaRocque and Jose Marzan, it features Wally leaping out of a plane after a falling stewardess, then having to work out what the heck to do […]
