Aquaman #17 review

The war between Atlantis and the United States is over. Aquaman is a hero to the world and he’s been invited to speak at the United Nations as a likely precursor to Atlantis being granted membership. While Mera tells Aquaman he went down well, for Arthur it wasn’t just another address. Who’s the mysterious man […]

Aquaman #4 review

Arthur has allowed himself to be taken into custody by the US Government after apparent attacks by Atlantis on the surface world. Mera is in the White House, trying to be patient as the President fails to show up to talk to her. Tula is in Atlantis, finding that being regent in the absence of […]

Aquaman Rebirth #1 review

Members of an Atlantean terror cell are making their way to the United States, determined to destroy a city. The Deluge have no real grudge with the surface dwellers, they simply resent that their king, Aquaman, cares as much about the people of dry land as he does those beneath the waves. With back-up from […]

The Omega Men #4 review

Four issues in and The Omega Men is proving to be perhaps DC’s most challenging title, and certainly one of its most rewarding. The story of a band of freedom fighters out to liberate the Vega space sector from the oppressive Citadel, it’s not into exposition dumps and big battles. The action is as much […]

The Omega Men #1 review

There’s a revolution going on. A disparate band of rebels, the Omega Men, are taking on the oppressive Citadel – by any means necessary. Of all DC’s recent Sneak Peeks, the Omega Men was the most disturbing, with Light Green Lantern Kyle Rayner apparently executed live on space-TV by Omega Man Tigorr. This debut issue […]

Convergence: Legion of Super-Heroes #1 review

In a place outside of space and time, Superboy is trapped under Brainiac’s dome with his friends in the Legion of Super-Heroes. They’re powerless, but doing what they can to keep 30th century Metropolis together, physically and in terms of morale. Then the dome comes down, as Brainiac’s number two, Telos, declares war between representatives […]

Convergence: The Atom #1

You know the Convergence score by now. Cities from different realities have been placed under domes. New villain Telos wants heroes to fight for the right to party … er, regain their world. Gotham City was suddenly everyone’s favourite vacation destination. Including Ray Palmer. And Deathstroke. The latter has been lying low for a year, […]

Klarion #1 review

Created by Jack Kirby, Klarion is a young warlock from the other dimensional realm of Witch-World. This debut issue sees him travel to a multiversal New York where he gets a job as a cook at the Moody Museum, said to be a haven for wizards on the downlow. Soon he’s befriended teenage oddballs Rasp […]

Justice League #9 review

The JLA are split into teams this issue, as two of their old villains break into detention facilities. Superman, Batman and Cyborg defend Arkham Asylum from psychic vampire the Key, while Flash, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman interrogate the Weapons Master after stopping his assault on Central City’s Iron Heights. It turns out that both […]

Justice League #8 review

Green Arrow wants to join the Justice League. Trying to persuade the world’s greatest super-team to – ahem – give him a shot, he starts showing up for their missions. And while he’s actually pretty useful, his requests for a trial are turned down. Aquaman doesn’t like him. Green Lantern thinks he’d be useless. Batman […]
