Legion Lost #15 review

One more issue and this book is gone. I can stand it. Not just because the Legion of Super-Heroes is meant to to be the 31st century’s biggest team, so splitting off members and dumping them in the 21st century harms the concept. The main reason is because, more often than not, this series is […]

Legion of Super-heroes #5 review

‘One day, a thousand years from now …’ the Legion of Super-Heroes takes a breather. With no universe-shaking crisis to beat, the members enjoy a rare day of downtime. They train, they love, they party, they work. Over the course of 24 hours we check in with, by my count, 29 members and reserve members, […]

Justice Society of America #53 review

The government wanted superheroes nowhere near the town of Monument Point. More than a mile below it, the JSA and the Challengers of the Unknown learn the what while, on the surface, Wildcat and Green Lantern learn the why. It’s all to do with an ancient god who absorbs metahuman powers, setting him up as the final foe to be […]

Wonder Woman #609 review

‘Every era somehow finds a way to create you.’ So says Dr Psycho to Diana in a spot of meta-commentary after showing her a series of lives which, he claims, she once lived. We see Diana as the blind leader of a city of outcasts, a pirate queen, an African princess; life after life until […]

Wonder Woman #607 review

Talk about most improved comic. Wonder Woman this month continues the Morrigan’s campaign to turn – or kill – Diana, with the threat of the minotaur unleashed. It details the assault of Artemis, Giganta and Cheetah on the Amazons’ supposed safehouse. And it has Diana teach her sisters the true meaning of being an Amazon. […]
