Action Comics #987 review

This is the one you’ve been waiting for! It’s an old comic book cover line, usually sheer hype. This, though, is the one we’ve been waiting for, the beginning of the storyline unveiling the identity of Mr Oz. The mysterious manipulator who’s been behind the scenes since DC Rebirth began stands revealed this issue. Yes, […]

Doom Patrol #8 review

I’m a cat person. That means I have a cat or cats. I’ve two, actually, Emmy and Milly. Lotion is a cat person. In Doom Patrol terms that means he’s a cat who’s somehow evolved into a person. Actually, ‘evolved’ may be a stretch, given he behaves like a slacker teenager. I’d definitely prefer a […]

Elsewhere, we have two other […]

Batgirl #14 review

Our story starts on a rooftop, where two young heroes are attacked by a pair of familiar looking villains. They’ve no chance against Batgirl and Nightwing, but that’s not the point – they’re there to send a message. Be the message. Their familiarity to someone in Barbara’s past cues a flashback to her early days […]
