Wonder Woman: Steve Trevor Special #1 review

It’s just another day for Steve Trevor. A spot of monster fighting… … a night out with his best girl… … and a business trip. Of course, Steve Trevor being the number one Above Average action man of the DC Universe, things are going to get a little odd. Happily, he knows three rather odd […]

Nightwing #16 review

Here’s a book that promises something fun and gives us so much more. The cover tells us it’s Damian Vs Dick for the Bat-Crown. It’s a bit of a non-issue because Dick and Damian are a generation apart so there’s no reason they can’t both wear the pointy ears at some point. Heck, Dick already […]

Justice League #13 review

Steve Trevor’s looking forward to an evening with his sister and her kids when Washington is hit by darkness. The elder god Eclipso has been freed and he’s taking over the populace, amplifying and unleashing their worst instincts. With his colleagues a howling mob and the Justice League the slaves of Eclipso, Steve – for […]

New Suicide Squad #17 review

Her Majesty’s Government wants its own version of the Suicide Squad. UK super-team the Victory Vs have gone down, so one Mr Ashemore is despatched to Belle Reve Penitentiary on a factfinding mission. Task Force X director Amanda Waller gives him a tour of the facility, where different cell blocks represent a super-prisoner’s readiness to serve […]

Grayson Annual #2 review

Several years ago, Batman and Robin are trying to stem a rampage by the hulking Blockbuster. The creature is nigh unstoppable but they have a secret weapon – Superman. Today, original Robin Dick Grayson is preparing to leave Gotham after a failed attempt to quit dodgy espionage organisation Spyral. He’s decided to have ‘one last […]

Grayson #12 review

It’s fair to say this is the issue I’ve been waiting for, as Dick Grayson returns to Gotham City and lets his friends know he’s alive. Well, all except Bruce Wayne, who’s currently a new man, free of any memory of his life as Batman. That situation makes for a compelling opening scene as Dick, […]

Grayson #2 review

Lor luv a duck, it’s those bloomin’ Yanks, writing about dear old Blighty again …Oh all right, the dialogue’s not too bad in this England-set issue, as Agent 37 – better known as Dick Grayson – decides the best way to blend in with the Leicestershire locals is to use his stunning facility with accents. […]

Grayson #1 review

Dick Grayson is on his first mission as Spyral’s Agent 37. Teamed with veteran Helena Bertinelli, he’s tasked with kidnapping a mule hosting a super-bomb from the Trans-Siberian Express. Dick’s acrobatic, stealth and fighting skills come in handy, but he finally resorts to Spyral’s ‘hypno’ techniques in a bid to succeed.After the horror that was […]

Batman Eternal #11 review

Well, that was unexpected. After ten issues of typically intense Gotham action and character work, Batman Eternal takes a decidedly comic turn. And it works brilliantly. All credit to writer Tim Seeley and artist Ian Bertram for a story that reads and looks like nothing else in the Batman universe. Oh sure, its use […]

Nightwing #30 review

Well, that was horrible. It’s the final issue of Nightwing, but not really. In the ‘grand’ tradition of Justice League United #0 being #1 by any other name, this is actually Grayson #1, or #0 if we have to be all Marketing about it. Yes, we see exchanges between Nightwing and Batman about what Dick’s […]
