Superman #1 review

Superman has flown into space, looking for his family. Lois and Jon left with Clark’s dodgy dad Jor-El for a summer adventure, but he’s lost contact and is desperate to find them. So desperate that after a run-in with evil aliens The Dominators… … he gives up and flies home. Back on Earth, he sets […]

Batman #50 review

This is the one we’ve been waiting for. The wedding of Batman and Catwoman. Would it take place, though? That’s the question that’s hung over Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle ever since they announced their engagement. So far as I’m concerned, it was a big Why Not? I grew up with Earth 2 Batman and […]

Man of Steel #6 review

The great thing about a weekly mini-series is that you don’t have to wait long to get the whole, wonderful experience. Or be disappointed. The concluding – actually, make that ‘final’ because it doesn’t resolve enough to be considered a conclusion – issue of Man of Steel has some lovely moments. There are some nicely […]

Starfire #1 review*

Koriand’r, princess of Tamaran, is trying to make a new life on Earth. She decides Key West in Florida could prove a suitable home, and asks local sheriff Stella for help. Starfire’s not well known in today’s DC Universe, so the law officer needs some convincing, but flight and a blazing hair trail do the […]

Scooby-Doo Team-Up #39 review

In Washington DC, Velma, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Scooby-Doo are at the opening of what’s presumed to be a time capsule, found at the Lincoln Memorial. They’re wary because the message on top says, in no uncertain terms, DO NOT OPEN. So of course it’s opened at a ceremony with all the trimmings. And guess […]

Teen Titans Special #1 review

One night in Gotham, Robin is having a time-out from the life of a young vigilante. Damian Wayne is enjoying a meal in his favourite eatery, whose Lebanese immigrant owners he’s befriended. Then, local thugs arrive, and things go to hell. Damian decides he’s had enough of playing nice with bad guys who get out […]

Man of Steel #5 review

Last issue ended with Superman unleashing his flare power, the entirety of his stored yellow sun energy, in a bid to bring down Rogol Zaar. Which meant this issue would see him powerless for 24 hours, until his body had absorbed enough solar rays to power him up again. This issue opens with Superman dragging […]

Podcast plug!

The lads behind the Doom Patrol podcast Waiting For Doom, Mike and Paul, recently added a second show to their feed, alternating with the previously weekly DP index episodes. The new strand is DCOCD, in which they discuss DC events of the past. A general discussion is followed by the giving of points out of […]

Crossing the Blogosphere

Welcome to the new home of Too Dangerous For a Girl – the continuing lack of support given by Google to the Blogger platform just wore me down… Hopefully the old posts have all migrated OK. I’m not especially WordPress-savvy so let me know what works, what doesn’t and feel free to suggest improvements. Thanks […]

Justice League of America #2 review

Three months ago, Lex Luthor visited a few of late father Lionel’s old mates. It didn’t go well for them, but Lex had a revelation. Today, in outer space, Green Lantern John Stewart’s daily grind is interrupted by Batman. Meanwhile – literally, Batman is talking to John via a surprise guest good guy while […]
