Superman #11 review

The destinies of Jon Kent and Damian Wayne are entwined by the relationship of their fathers. But the kids known as Superboy and Robin haven’t been getting along, something Superman and Batman realise has to be rectified if they’re to be allies and, better yet, friends. So it’s boot camp, superhero style. The boys are dumped in […]

Superman #10 review

It had to happen. The son of Superman meets the spawn of Batman in World’s Smallest, paving the way for the upcoming Super Sons series starring Jon Kent and Damian Wayne, the latest Superboy and Robin. Things start off quietly as Jon and best friend Kathy negotiate their school day. On the way home, Jon, […]

Superman #9 review

Superman, Superboy and Superdog have been teleported to Dinosaur Island by a Mother Box-alike that began life as Jon’s science project. But it’s gone missing, and after a spot of dino-punching, father, son and four-legged flying friend take a break in a cave. But there’s someone else in there… It’s Captain Storm, one of the […]

Superman #8 review

Superman and Son the story arc is over but Superman and Son the adventure continues, as Clark and Jon are transported to Dinosaur Island. Exactly how, they don’t know, it was a quiet enough father and son garden shed bonding session which, when you’re Superman and Son, means you’re in the Fortress of Solitude. Building a mini-UFO […]

Superman #7 review

Jon, Lois and Clark Kent are off to the county fair. There are carnival rides, coconut shies, candy floss, prize cows… and crooks. Which is a bit of a bugger, as Clark has promised to keep Superman under wraps for the night. Lois, meanwhile, is getting to know the editor of the local rag, while […]

Superman #6 review

Anyone who had to get glasses as a kid will recognise the moment. Superman suggests son Jon starts wearing specs for school, the new Superboy having been seen at his father’s side by virtually the whole world. Yeah, cool… It’s just one of many great moments in this finale to the six-part opening arc, Son […]

Superman #4 review

The Kryptonian horror known as the Eradicator has swallowed Krypto and the only thing stopping him doing something awful to young Jon Kent is his father. But Superman is taking a beating, as Jon and mother Lois watch in the Fortress of Solitude. Jon wants to help and Lois overcomes her natural instincts to keep […]

Superman #3 review

Young Jon Kent has superpowers but his wavering levels of invulnerability worry parents Lois and Clark. They take him to the Fortress of Solitude, intending to run tests using Kryptonian tech, but come across some Kryptonian tech they’d not bargained on. The Eradicator? Well, an Eradicator from some version of Krypton. Originally a robot cop serving […]

Superman #2 review

Jon Smith is scared. His Dad spotted him spying on his meeting with Batman and Wonder Woman at the family farm, appeared in his bedroom and demanded he come with him… and now they’re in the middle of a frozen sea in, let’s say, Alaska. But he needn’t have worried, his father isn’t angry – […]

Superman #1 Review

Most DC Comics are rated T for Teen. Some are E for Everyone. After this issue of Superman, I suggest another, EBPL – Everyone But Pet Lovers… For anyone who didn’t read Superman: Rebirth, this issue begins with a superbly staged graveyard recap, showing that the New 52 Superman is dead and the older Superman […]
