Superwoman #10 review

Lana Lang is fighting… someone. We can see the arms, and readers of Superman past with particularly sharp visual recall might recognise the villain as Skyhook, a monster who stole children from the streets of Metropolis. Flash back several years and Natasha, niece of Lana’s boyfriend John Henry Irons, gets herself home after her no-good […]

Superwoman #9 review

After Superman Reborn, here’s Lana Lang Reborn – the super-powers she recently gained were killing her but at the start of this issue, she’s healthy once more. Spat out of the Kryptonian warsuit that was keeping her alive, covered in cosmic-amniotic fluid, she’s a little dazed. As she regains her composure, Superman’s all-purpose robot, Kelex, […]

This isn’t the Lois who usually works at the Metropolis newspaper, it’s the Lois from the pre-Flashpoint Earth – Mrs Superman, mother of new Superboy Jon and supremely adept journalist. But to get the story she’s after, Lois must fool a team of crack […]

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 […]

Convergence #8 review

Soooo, most comics I look at, I tend to give a précis of events. Here, such an attempt wouldn’t make much sense because, well, the story doesn’t make much sense. It’s a decidedly jumpy journey to a rather happy destination. But just to give the overall picture, we have the heroes of various DC realities […]
