Adventures of Supergirl #13 review

It’s Kara’s final battle against Facet. The former warden of Krypton’s Fort Rozz has thrown everything she can at Supergirl in a bid to make her stronger.

Adventures of Supergirl Chapter 7 review

Supergirl is the consummate superheroine, so good she can fight a villain in her sleep. Not that she has any choice in the latest instalment of DC’s Digital First spin-off from the CBS show. She’s battling through dreamscape after dreamscape for what seems like years, never quite reaching the weaver of dreams, but never giving […]

Adventures of Supergirl #1 review

Talk about strange sports stories. The National City Sharks football game has some unplanned entertainment – Supergirl vs Rampage. Maid of Might against Orange Ogress. They’re going at it like Billy-O, because while Kara would always prefer to talk things out, Rampage seems to have left her vocabulary at home. It’s the first chapter of […]

Stormwatch #30 review

It’s a day in the life of Stormwatch. The real Stormwatch, the team who bumped the first New 52 version out of continuity having been themselves despatched. Where, I don’t know, as I jumped off the book around the time they arrived with writer Jim Starlin. Throwing out the entire cast of an under-performing book […]

Forever Evil: ARGUS #6 review

If Crisis on Infinite Earths was the Big Bang of comic book events, Forever Evil is the whimper, making little impact on the commercial and critical landscape. Just seven issues long, it feels interminable, with the ‘main event’ series unfocussed and tie-ins such as the JLA Martian Manhunter/Stargirl story an unashamed waste of space.Forever Evil: […]
