DC Comics: Bombshells #1 review

Bombshell: ‘An unexpected and surprising event, especially an unpleasant one; a very attractive woman’Well, there are attractive women aplenty in this debut DC Digital offering – or should I say broads, dames maybe – but it’s miles from unpleasant.

DC Digital Wonder Woman ’77 #1 review

I’m far too young to remember the Seventies Wonder Woman TV show… …not buying that? Suit yourself.

Night Force #5 review

One of the most-ignored DC comics around, this is also one of the best, as Marv Wolfman and Tom Mandrake produce a horror story that never fails to grip. The seven-issue mini-series has the enigmatic Baron Winters gathering ordinary people to thwart an occult threat to the USA. That’s the idea, anyway. By the end […]
