Justice League #20 review

The Justice League members have been invited to the Sixth Dimension by a future version of Superman, just seconds after they saw the Clark they know step through a cosmic portal. Ten years from now, older versions of themselves say, all the planet’s problems have been conquered. Yes, everything is pretty darn peachy. Hawkgirl and […]

Naomi #3 review

Looking for answers about her adoption, typical American teenager Naomi has broken into the garage of local mechanic Dee. A photograph of him in earlier days shows him with a woman who looks like her. Is he her father? What he is, is a former spy for Thanagar, stranded on Earth after a mission on […]

The Uncanny X-Men: Winter’s End #1 review

Hey, here’s one of those new X-Men books Marvel is launching. Look at that great fight scene on the cover by Javier Garrón and Romulo Fajardo Jr, with numerous mutants fighting future versions of themselves. There’s Bobby, Ororo and… is that a middle-aged Colossus? The comic will no doubt reveal all. Or not. While we […]

Wonder Twins #2 review

In the Lexicon Prison and Call Centre, the super-villain who calls himself The Scrambler is demonstrating just why that is to a guard who gets too close. The bad guy is soon back on the streets. Later, members of the Morris High School Honours Club, including Justice League interns Zan and Jayna, are taken on […]

Superman #9 review

‘North Americans don’t do irony.’ It’s a cliche, usually put about by pompous Brits (ahem). And it’s not really true. OK, Canada’s Alanis Morissette is the poster person for misunderstanding the term, but plenty of folks across the Pond get it just fine. Superman writer Brian Michael Bendis? I’m not so sure. ‘Dad, it was […]

Supergirl #28 review

With Supergirl and the Omega Men out to bring him down, space scumbag Harry Hokum decides to send in the clones. Imperfect duplicates of Supergirl possessing part of her powers. Kara has faced terrible odds plenty of times but her quest to learn the truth behind Krypton’s destruction, supposedly at the hands of Rogol Zaar, […]

Justice League #19 review

It’s a fine day in Metropolis. The Source Wall is broken, the Legion of Doom are trying to wake an elder god, but the Justice League members are smiling. And they have a plan. Facing incredible omniversal forces, who better to help than one of the most powerful beings in creation? As it happens, the […]

Doomsday Clock #9 review

A thousand years in the future, Dr Manhattan is souvenir hunting. In the present day, the heroes are leaving Earth and heading into the unknown. In Washington DC, Superman lies near death. In Gotham City, Batman is desperate to contact his friends. And Ronnie Raymond is taken to the past for a revelation… … now […]

Sideways #13 review

Thirteen proves an unlucky number for Derek James as his series is cancelled – a shame, as Sideways has been my favourite spin-off from DC’s Dark Metal event. Little by little I’ve got to know Derek’s world – his character, his family, his powers, his potential – and enjoyed it all enormously. How much I’ve […]

Action Comics #1008 review

The Department of Extranormal Oprations has drafted a new agent. Adam Strange, son of Earth, hero of Rann, reports to acting chief Mr Bones. Adam barely has time to start a conversation than a mystery figure shows up. And blows up. Elsewhere, Amanda Waller of Task Force X shows up for a meeting with military […]
