Grayson Annual #2 review

Several years ago, Batman and Robin are trying to stem a rampage by the hulking Blockbuster. The creature is nigh unstoppable but they have a secret weapon – Superman. Today, original Robin Dick Grayson is preparing to leave Gotham after a failed attempt to quit dodgy espionage organisation Spyral. He’s decided to have ‘one last […]

Batman Eternal #51 review

So, last week we had the big reveal as to just who’s been bedevilling Batman and friends for the last few issues … Cluemaster. Apparently there was a lot of grumbling after Batman Eternal #50 that Stephanie Brown’s dad isn’t a big enough name to be the mastermind who’s brought Gotham City down around Batman’s […]

Secret Origins #2 review

Last month Superman had the cover, this time it’s Batman, next month it’s Wonder … er, Green Lantern. So much for my theory that DC’s traditional Big Three were the opening acts for this origin anthology. Not to worry, the images we are getting are certainly winners, though I’d prefer group shots including the other […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #14 review

The Legion of Super-Heroes’ efforts to stop the reborn Legion of Super-Villains’ reign of terror continue in entertaining, if occasionally infuriating, style. The entertainment comes mainly from the action and interaction between the rich mix of characters on both sides of the morality line. There’s Professor Harmonia Li’s brushing off of Dream Girl with unknown powers when […]

Justice League: Generation Lost #23 review

Aside from the undeniably icky notion of Max Lord’s bleeding nose spelling out the continents, I’m not keen on Dustin Nguyen’s cover this time – Max looks tremendous, but the heroes are a little too sketchy for me. Full marks for trying something different, though. Inside, the series continues as it has for months now, […]

Justice League: Generation Lost #21 review

Blue Beetle is dead, Max Lord has gotten away and the JLA members are licking their wounds. Booster Gold and Skeets are trying to work out how to get Jaime Reyes out of the Scarab suit before delivering his body to his family. Captain Atom is telling Ice that the thousands of recent deaths are […]

Justice League: Generation Lost #19 review

Dustin Nguyen channels legendary movie graphic designer Saul Bass for this stark cover, which is certainly going to shift a few units. Another Blue Beetle dead at the hands of Max Lord? Say it ain’t so. This issue’s opening flashback takes us back to Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes talking to pals Paco and Brenda about […]

Justice League: Generation Lost #12 review

The hunt for Max Lord takes a back seat this issue as the threat to the League comes from one of their own. Trauma has dialled Ice several notches up on the power scale and she’s lost her mind. Can Fire and Rocket Red stop her, or will they be transformed into the Justice Popsicles? While Bea […]
