Super Sons #11 review

If you’ve not read this week’s first part of Super Sons of Tomorrow, check out my review of Superman #37. Short version – Tim Drake, the Batman of a gloomy future, has come to our time to kill new Superboy Jon Kent. Tim reckons his death will stop his hellish world coming to pass. But […]

Superman #37 review

It’s a dark night and Bruce Wayne is in the study at Wayne Manor, brooding. It looks like history is repeating itself. In fact, it’s a matter of future history – or so Tim Drake, the Batman from a Hypertime world, believes. There follows a brutal battle between the heavily armoured Tim and a Bruce […]

Marvel 2 In One #1 review

The Fantastic Four are no more. Reed, Sue and the kids are off creating new worlds, while Johnny and Ben have been left behind on Earth. Johnny continues to seek thrills as a racing driver… … while Ben, who’s lately been adventuring with the Guardians of the Galaxy, is making a speech. And not a […]

Scooby-Doo Team-Up Chapter #65 review

I know that Mystery Inc are brilliant detectives, but who knew their reputation extended into the 31st century? They’re certainly surprised when three teenagers from the future show up. Suitably convinced they’re dealing with future folk, Daphne, Fred, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby jump into the time bubble to investigate the apparent ghost haunting the Legion […]

Jean Grey #10 review

It’s young Jean Grey’s last stand against the Phoenix Force but she’s not alone. By her side are the Cuckoos, Quentin Quire, Hope Summers, Emma Frost and the ghost of older Jean. It’s a formidable group with a wealth of experience and skills, but Jean knows she’s in for the fight of her young life. […]

Supergirl #16 review

‘Strange Visitor’ has to be one of the daftest names for a superhero ever, but I did like the melding of Sharon Vance and cosmic being Kismet when she hung around the Superman books in the Nineties. And now she’s back from oblivion, remembering her sacrifice in the Our Worlds at War storyline, but not […]

Action Comics #993 review

Superman has used the Cosmic Treadmill to head for Krypton in its last moments, wanting to know for definite if birth father Jor-El was saved from death by a strange force that plucked him away. If that’s so, then the monstrous Mr Oz is likely telling the truth when he claims he is Jor-El – […]

DC Holiday Special #2017 #1

It’s December and that means a big, fat stocking stuffer from DC Comics. These 80pp giants are notoriously iffy so far as quality goes, but there’s usually a gem or two. Let’s take a look at the 2017 edition, which kicks off with a very merry cover from Andy Kubert and Brad Anderson. The framing […]

Justice League #34 review

It’s a busy day for the Justice League. In space, a massive alien fleet is heading straight to Earth. On Earth, ‘YouTube jihadists’ have taken nuns hostage, and an earthquake threatens a coastal community. It takes the entire League in three shifting groups to tackle the situations… and for one member, it leads to a […]

New Talent Showcase 2017 #1 review

I reviewed the first of DC’s New Talent Showcase giants last year and my big complaint was that the stories weren’t self-contained. Most were set-ups for arcs we’d likely never see. And we never did see continuations. So how is the 2017 peek at the abilities of the young writers and artists from DC’s Talent […]
