Supergirl #3 review

Kara Zor-El can’t believe her newly super-ears. The man claiming to be her cousin is telling her that her homeworld, Krypton, is no more. Because he has no evidence to show her, because only three days ago she was babysitting the child this … Superman … claims to be, Kara turns tail. She flees China […]

Wonder Woman #613 review

It’s part 842 of the Odyssey story and the finish line is in sight. In this issue, Diana fights Nemesis, goddess of Exposition. Clad in Diana’s original form – the star-spangled heroine of the regular DC Universe – Nemesis battles the new model we’ve been following for the past year. And finally, readers get answers. […]

FF #4 review

There are few super-teams that can’t be improved by the addition of a traitor. The Avengers had one in Iron Man, thanks to Kang’s time manipulations.

But writer Jonathan Hickman goes the gimmick route, presenting a silent story. Want to hear how Susan […]

The comic’s on sale a day early and Associated Press has already spoilt the surprise for many, but as an actual regular reader, a chap who’d be buying the book anyway, […]

Fantastic Four #583 review

This issue of Fantastic Four starts with the team fighting in the Neutral Zone, land ‘between United States territory and that claimed by the Forever City of the High Evolutionary’. It’s the first time in ages we’ve seen the whole team battling baddies, so what happens? A single page of that and we’re with future […]
