Alfred is pruning the fruit trees at Wayne Manor when teenager Duke Thomas arrives. Bruce is in Gotham, dealing with the latest plot by Calendar Man Julian Day – he releases spores which could spell doom for the city of Batman doesn’t kill them. He does, in spectacular style, but once Day is behind bars […]

The Vision #5 review

I’m It’s dinner time and The Vision receives a knock on the door from the police department. They want to talk to him in connection with the killing of a schoolmate of son Vin. If the Vision knows wife Virginia is responsible for Chris Kinzky’s death, he’s in deep denial. Either way, he answers the […]

Robin War #1 review

Once upon a time there was just one Robin. Then there was a second. And a third… But there was no overlap, one Robin succeeded another, again and again. But recently Gotham has seen the rise of a youth movement consisting of self-proclaimed Robins, would-be heroes with no connection to Batman. They train themselves, they […]

The Vision #1 review

The Vision has embarked upon a project. The synthezoid Avenger has tried to build the perfect family. Literally. He’s made a synthezoid wife, Virginia, and children, Viv and Vin. They live in the suburbs, in a commuter community handy for Vision’s new job as Avengers liaison to the President. The Visions are getting to know […]

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, […]

The Omega Men #4 review

Four issues in and The Omega Men is proving to be perhaps DC’s most challenging title, and certainly one of its most rewarding. The story of a band of freedom fighters out to liberate the Vega space sector from the oppressive Citadel, it’s not into exposition dumps and big battles. The action is as much […]

The Omega Men #1 review

There’s a revolution going on. A disparate band of rebels, the Omega Men, are taking on the oppressive Citadel – by any means necessary. Of all DC’s recent Sneak Peeks, the Omega Men was the most disturbing, with Light Green Lantern Kyle Rayner apparently executed live on space-TV by Omega Man Tigorr. This debut issue […]

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 […]
