Infinity Man and the Forever People #4 review

Bat Cow is a strange beast. But then so is this comic. The first few issues of this New52 take on Jack Kirby’s Fourth World space hippies have gone heavy on the cosmic drama, but it’s comedy to the fore this time. Not that there aren’t serious moments, but the encounter between the young students’ […]

Infinity Man and the Forever People #1 review

A quartet of graduates from an extra-dimensional academy are sent to Earth, to bring harmony to a world racked with conflict and disease. But dark forces from their homeland are waiting, and they won’t be making things easy for the Forever People. That’s the idea behind this new series and it’s a case of so […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #17 review

The joke among longtime Legion fans when it was announced that classic artist and writer Keith Giffen was returning to the 31st century was, how long until he kills his hated Karate Kid yet again? Well, here he is, co-plotting with continuing writer Paul Levitz and no martial artists die. That’s the good news. The […]

The workers at Cadmus Industries are having a bad day. When they should be breaking down stem cells and drinking skinny lattes, they’re having to flee from a tank of a man who’s tearing up the research facility in search of one thing – the mainframe. And the Cadmus Mainframe doesn’t just contain commercially sensitive information, […]

Legion of Super-Heroes Annual #1 review

One of the Legion’s oldest foes is back – and she’s not. A new Emerald Empress emerges on Orando when a young woman, fleeing from a nobleman out to ravish her, winds up in thrall to something far deadier. At one with the Emerald Eye of Ektron, she conquers her people and sits around in […]

DC Universe: Legacies #6 review

There’s not an awful lot I want to say about the first story this month – it’s an equally fine continuation of (hover that cursor after these parentheses, too-subtle link ahoy!) last issue’s look at the Crisis on Infinite Earths epic, seen from the perspective of man on the street Paul Lincoln. It takes events forward […]

Legion of Super-heroes #6 review

This issue features two stories and a bonus page. The first half of the book sees the conclusion of the relaunched Legion’s first storyline, with the team reluctantly accepting Earth-Man, and vice versa. He’s still not happy with ‘offworlders’, but realises that trying to get along is the sanest solution. And yes, as I thought, Brainy […]

DC Universe Legacies #5 review

Police officer Paul Lincoln never made detective. That’s not surprising as we watch him see Green Arrow debut his second costume on TV and, a minute later, in another news report, he sees Ollie Queen – modelling the same ridiculous, and brand-new, beard. Does he make the connection? Nope. Soon afterwards, he notes that black-haired […]
