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 […]

Action Comics #963 review

The rejuvenated Action Comics begins its second storyline, kicking off from events in the previous arc. As Superman fought Doomsday, Clark Kent showed up… a second Clark Kent, one without superpowers. He’s the star of this issue, investigating possibly dodgy company Geneticron. The story starts in media res, with Clark fleeing for his life from […]

Superwoman #2 review

Superman is dead. Lois Lane is dead. And Lana Lang will soon be dead if she doesn’t use her new powers as Superwoman to survive the attack of not one, but two shape-changing Bizarros. Lex Luthor, self-proclaimed true Superman of Metropolis, fails to rush to Lana’s side, his Apokolips-tinged power suit having been turned off […]

Action Comics #962 review

And just as it risks going on too long, Superman’s battle against Doomsday concludes. After several issues of back and forth, with Superman perturbed to find this Doomsday can think strategically, I was beginning to wonder how things would end. But end they do, as Superman lures the monster to his Fortress of Solitude. For […]

Superman #5 review

Superman wants to move his battle with the Eradicator away from the crowded streets of Metropolis. He also needs to ensure his wife Lois, and son Jonathan, are safe. There’s no time to both get his family someplace they aren’t in danger, and then find a battlefield. So he takes them to the Moon. And into […]

Superwoman #1 review

A few months ago, when the New 52 Superman died, in a panel that didn’t call attention to it itself, his energy passed onto Lois Lane and Lana Lang. Anj from Supergirl Comic Box Commentary totally called it, as the kids say, and predicted it would lead to this Superwoman series. And here it is, […]

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 […]

Action Comics #960 review

It’s the battle of Metropolis, Superman and Lex Luthor vs Doomsday. Upstate. Lois, with son Jon at her side, watches Clark emerge from the site of an explosion to resume his fight with the unstoppable monster. Wonder Woman appears, joins the battle and meets the man claiming to be Clark Kent. She, reasonably, assumes he’s […]

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 – […]
