Inside Justice League International #2 we have the continuation of the battle with the mystery giant in Peru, and things don’t go too well. Circumstances see leader Booster Gold take the tough decision to […]

OMAC #1 review

The workers at Cadmus Industries are having a bad day.

Inside, there’s also Psionic Lad, would-be assassin turned pal. Together they help the Phantom Stranger see off black magician Tannarak and his Hollow Men, reuniting the people of Smallville with their souls. That’s not bad for 20 pages.

Supergirl #63 review

Wow, the nurses in Metropolis really are crabby. Lois Lane inquires how Cadmus whistleblower Catherine, a patient at Metropolis’ St Idelson’s hospital, is doing, and gets a mouthful of attitude. Mind, when she checks in with Catherine and learns more on the dark goings-on at the genetics research facility, she gets something far worse than […]

Justice League: Generation Lost #20 review

Jaime Reyes, the Blue Beetle, was shot through the head at the end of last issue. But that’s not important right now. Because this issue steps away from current events to provide a one-stop-shopping insight into the mind of the man who shot Beetle, Maxwell Lord. We learn that his father was a pharmaceuticals executive […]
