Legion of Super-Heroes #10 review

Brainiac 5 and Dream Girl have been kidnapped by the Dominators and locked up on the planet Panoptes. They want to add the Legion genius’ DNA to their gene pool, and are considering a new caste with Naltorian-style precognition. On Earth, the United Planets has banned the Legion from mounting a rescue mission because there’s […]

Worlds’ Finest #2 review

In the present, Huntress and Power Girl, refugees from Earth 2, battle radioactive man Hakkou in Japan. They don’t know what he wants, but suspect he has connections to Apokolips. In the past, the heroines put together their new lives on Earth 1, as they conclude that the Darkseid sent packing by the Justice League […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #9 review

Brainiac 5 and Harmonia are at Circadia Senius’ lab, disagreeing about the possibility of beating the blockage in the time stream, when Dream Girl drops by. She’s had a premonition that something important is going to occur. And occur it does, as two unknown assailants pop up. Literally – they come out of a Boom […]

Worlds’ Finest #1 review

Trapped on a world not their own, Supergirl and Robin take very different approaches to life. The former, Kara Zor-L, founds a hi-tech empire under the new name of Karen Starr in a bid to build her way back home. The latter, Helena Wayne, identity hops while fighting crime as urban legend the Huntress, believing […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #8 review

It’s old home week as Steve Lightle, much-loved penciller for a tremendous run of Eighties Legion of Super-Heroes stories, returns for one issue. Not the whole issue, mind – another former artist, but much more recent, also stops by for a done-in-one short, Yildiray Cinar. It’s safe to say the issue is in fine artistic […]

Legion: Secret Origin #6 review

It’s the final issue of this expanded look at the origins of the Legion of Super-Heroes and it’s confirmed that the figure behind the attacks on team benefactor RJ Brande is the Time Trapper. This issue starts with him influencing United Planets Security Directorate member Mycroft to take out Brande, but it turns out Brande isn’t alone […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #7 review

Surprise surprise, the two China-set plotlines begun last issue are linked – the polluting fire raging in the Xinjiang region is the work of the future cultists running amok in the urban area. Thankfully, Legionnaires are at both sites and ready to fight. Holding back the fire are Element Lad, Sun Boy and Chemical Kid, […]

Legion: Secret Origin #5 review

The Legion’s first attempt to recruit Superboy in the 21st century is stymied when an unknown, powerful force reaches out and tosses their new time bubble back to the future. In the 31st century that same being is possessing United Planets security wallah Mycroft and ordering him to kill Legion benefactor RJ Brande. Having returned […]

Legion of Super-heroes #6 review

Sun Boy, Element Lad and Chemical Kid venture to China to clean up an environmental disaster, while Dragonwing visits her sister elsewhere in the country. At Legion HQ, Dream Girl puts the kibosh on Star Boy’s hopes of a long snogging session because she has a science project. On Panoptes, Brainiac 5 and Mon-El lead […]

Legion: Secret Origin #4 review

As the newly formed Legion of Super-Heroes grows, the mysterious attacks on backer RJ Brande continue. Chameleon Boy, Invisible Kid and Colossal Boy sign up, though Brainiac 5 resists the idea when Phantom Girl suggests he does too. The Science Police gripe to the United Planets about the Legion poaching its potential recruits, but the […]
