Super Sons #13 review

Two weeks into term at the West-Reeve School, Jon Kent is having a ball… … but Damian Wayne would rather be anywhere else. At lunchtime, Damian’s mom drops by, and when your mother is the daughter of League of Assassins chief Ra’s al-Ghul, you can bet she’s not come to drop off a sandwich. Damian, […]

Supergirl #18 review

It’s Kara Danvers’ first prom but it could be the last dance for Supergirl. The extraterrestrial Evolutionist has interrupted the school party and is calling out the Girl of Steel. While Kara slips off to change into her Kryptonian uniform, her friend Ben Rubel steps up. DEO Agent Ocampo – stationed at the school with […]

Justice League of America #24 review

There was, as we say in Scotland, a bit of a stooshie when word got out about this issue. How dare DC Comics use Promethea, the character created by Alan Moore and JH Williams for the ABC Comics line? The arguments on that one have been well-rehearsed elsewhere, so let’s just look at how she’s […]

Young Monsters in Love #1 review

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, when a young man’s heart turns to… horror. Well, that’s the idea behind this 80pp giant from DC Comics, as a mass of monstrous folk wrestle with their softer sides. We begin with Man-Bat, longtime friendly foe of the Batman. Kirk Langstrom is keeping his alter ego at bay, but the […]

Superman #40 review

Jon Kent has been Superboy for awhile but he’s nowhere near blasé. The exhibits in his father’s Fortress of Solitude have him wide-eyed. But the likes of the interplanetary zoo and crystalline statues of his grandparents are nothing compared to the latest display… a holographic ‘film’ of the moment Krypton died. The alarm represents the […]

X-Men Red #1 review

A young girl flees a braying mob, warned of their imminent arrival by a voice in her head. They’re right behind her, but help shows up. It’s a group of X-Men, led by Jean Grey, telepath and telekinetic. She’s here to offer a new life to the girl as her old one is ripped away. […]

Flash Annual #1 review

It’s the 25th century and a security team is trying to work out what the heck happened at the Flash Museum. ‘Meanwhile’, relatively, in 2017, not one, not two, but three Flashes are taking on The Top, master of centrifugal force. And occasionally, booby-trapped toy tops. None of them come into play today, which may […]

Justice League of America/Doom Patrol Special #1

What have the Doom Patrol and Justice League of America got in common? They’ve both been based in the seaside town of Happy Harbor, Rhode Island, in a cave below a mountain. So the quiet community is the perfect spot for them to come together. Even before either group arrive, though, things take a weird […]

Phoenix Resurrection #4 review

It’s just another day for Jean Grey, small town diner waitress. Wake up in a house razed by fire, talk to the paper boy… Jean isn’t noticing the fiery scenes just at the edge of her vision. Nearby, a mass of mutants have come to New Mexico, on the trail of recent Phoenix Force manifestations. […]

Trinity #17 review

Superman and Batman are helping Wonder Woman search for Paradise Island, which has been hidden from her by godly hands. Signs of a possible interdimensional portal send the heroes flying to the North Atlantic. And they do indeed come across a doorway to another world; it may not lead to Themyscira, but it’s certainly worth […]
