Teen Titans #16 review

Longtime Teen Titans foe Mammoth has escaped from super-prison and he’s got a mad-on. Luckily, three Titans are on the scene and ready to round him up. There’s an impressive display of teamwork, so you can understand why Starfire is confused afterwards, when it’s anything but Titans Together. Feeling left out – and old – […]

Raven #1 review

The Teen Titans have broken up and Raven’s going to school. She’s learned that she has an aunt and family in San Francisco and has been invited to stay with them. Having previously been ‘homeschooled’ in the interdimensional realm of Azarath, high school is alien to the daughter of the demonic Trigon. And everyone is […]

Superboy #28 review

Sometimes it’s hard to be a Legion of Super-Heroes fan, grabbing onto every comic with the smallest link to the 31st-Century’s greatest super-team. Hence I had to buy another issue of the pretty appalling Superboy series. Look at that cover – is this a new Legion of Super-Villains in the future currently being visited by […]

Superboy #26 review

It’s Superboy #26, a comic I was determined not to buy, but you know how Santa is, leaving behind things he read on the way over from the North Pole. I didn’t want to support this decidedly uneven series any longer due to its replacing the lead character with a darker version. Kon El is […]

The Flash #21 review

Here’s an encounter I’ve been waiting for since DC rebooted their comics universe, the first meeting between the Flash, Barry Allen, and Kid Flash, Bart Allen. It comes about because someone is killing people connected to the Speed Force and Barry wonders if the Teen Titan knows anything. Bart though, doesn’t feel like listening to […]

DC Universe Presents #12: Kid Flash review

Kid Flash takes over DC’s showcase title for a fun romp featuring dinosaur teens. Well, why ever not? Teen Titans is part of DC’s Young Justice line, meant to appeal to younger readers. And what kid doesn’t love dinosaurs? They’re giving Bart Allen trouble in this single-issue special, but even he thinks they’re cool. The […]

Superboy #12 review

Dragged out for a night on the town by new landlady Dallas Sorrentino, Superboy meets her posse and finds he doesn’t like alcohol. He likes the thugs who threaten Dallas even less. And as for their boss, moneylender Kavi is a full-on devil woman, bewitching the Clone of Steel with her mind powers. She’s not […]

The Ravagers #1 review

If a new comic book wants a better chance in a crowded market, showcasing the star in existing titles is a good way to go. The Inhumans, the Silver Surfer, Moon Knight … all bounced around the Marvel Universe for a while before getting their own books. Over at DC, the likes of Deathstroke and […]

Superboy #9 review

Captured by bad guy Harvest to fight in his gladiatorial games, Superboy, the Teen Titans and the Legion Lost crew join forces against lackeys the Ravagers. So Part 2 of The Culling crossover is pretty much like Part 1 in last week’s Teen Titans Annual #1 – young metahumans making war, making friends and making like dead […]

Superboy #8 review and Legion Lost #8 review

If the comics can link up, I reckon the reviews can too. So what have we here, as DC’s ‘Young Justice’ titles start their first official crossover? First off, Superboy, in which the Clone of Steel faces his biggest threat yet, the teenage powerhouse known as Grunge … for no reason I can see, unless […]
