Change is in the air at the Daily Planet. There’s a new owner, and she has big plans. Clark Kent can’t stay to hear the full extent of Imani Edge’s plans, there are citizens of Metropolis to be saved… … hang on, there’s everyone in the world to be saved! Trouble is, maybe Superman can’t […]

Fire and Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #2 review

The Absolute Power event ended with JLI stalwarts Fire and Ice facing a life with their powers swapped over. So far Bea has been doing OK with Tora’s ice casting, but Tora is freaked out by being able to generate dangerous blasts of flame. Finding a monkey’s paw in Zatanna’s top hat, Bea wishes for […]

Action Comics #1086 review

In the heart of the Arctic Circle the machine madman Kilg%re reveals himself to Superman as the mastermind of attacks on a climate change research station. Kilg%re, realising he’s not going to have an easy time against the Man of Steel, tries another approach – partnership. A chance to inherit the Earth. You can imagine […]

Supergirl #1 review

It’s just another day for Supergirl. In Metropolis, the Maid of Might has a whale of a time seeing off an over-ambitious bad girl. And in the bottle city of Kandor, a rescued young woman gets all starry eyed. The furry pink fella being carried in Kara’s expandable cape is Lar-On, like Kara an Argo […]

The Atom Project #5 review

I remember being sad when the runs of DC and Marvel mini-series shrank from six to five issues. Then came The Atom Project. I opened this chapter in the Justice League Unlimited spin-off feeling, frankly, thrilled it was wrapping up. Dang. There’s one more issue to go. Ah well, at least this was an improvement […]

JSA #7 review

It’s the day of Wildcat’s funeral. His nine lives ran out during the Justice Society’s war with the Injustice Society so friends and family are saying goodbye. Feelings are running high. The Flash, Jay Garrick, is feeling the loss. Yolanda Montez, the second Wildcat, is feeling guilty. Jesse Chambers, aka Jesse Quick, is feeling lost. […]

Detective Comics 2025 Annual #1 review

Oh thank the stars, a done-in-one Batman story and it is really good. Given this is a Detective Comics issue I probably shouldn’t be surprised, but this tale sees our hero collecting clues in a bid to solve a very intriguing mystery. It’s the god’s honest Darknight Detective at his very best. Sure, there’s a […]

The Question: All Along the Watchtower #6 review

It’s the final face-off between the Question and the Cyborg Superman. As the last issue of this mini-series opens the latter, Hank Henshaw, wants to destroy the Justice League Unlimited Watchtower, while the former, Renee Montoya, just wants to stay alive. Expelled into space, she’s saved when Blue Beetle Ted Kord – supposedly under the […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest 2025 Annual #1 review

Annuals come in various shapes and sizes. They may be all reprints, as in the Silver Age. Or one-off stories featuring special creative teams – remember that time Mongul messed up Superman’s birthday? Or part of a linewide crossover, a la Atlantis Attacks or Armageddon 2000. Occasionally they’re the conclusion of a big storyline in […]

Green Lantern #22 review

Look at writer Jeremy Adams breaking the rules. First of all we have the big confrontation with classic Green Lantern annoyance Hector Hammond… … ending five pages into the issue. Then we have the return of a long-gone superhero with not a hint of it on the cover. You know, Dan Garrett, the first… Oi! […]
