Young Monsters in Love #1 review

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, when a young man’s heart turns to… horror. Well, that’s the idea behind this 80pp giant from DC Comics, as a mass of monstrous folk wrestle with their softer sides. We begin with Man-Bat, longtime friendly foe of the Batman. Kirk Langstrom is keeping his alter ego at bay, but the […]

Superman #40 review

Jon Kent has been Superboy for awhile but he’s nowhere near blasé. The exhibits in his father’s Fortress of Solitude have him wide-eyed. But the likes of the interplanetary zoo and crystalline statues of his grandparents are nothing compared to the latest display… a holographic ‘film’ of the moment Krypton died. The alarm represents the […]

X-Men Red #1 review

A young girl flees a braying mob, warned of their imminent arrival by a voice in her head. They’re right behind her, but help shows up. It’s a group of X-Men, led by Jean Grey, telepath and telekinetic. She’s here to offer a new life to the girl as her old one is ripped away. […]

Flash Annual #1 review

It’s the 25th century and a security team is trying to work out what the heck happened at the Flash Museum. ‘Meanwhile’, relatively, in 2017, not one, not two, but three Flashes are taking on The Top, master of centrifugal force. And occasionally, booby-trapped toy tops. None of them come into play today, which may […]

Justice League of America/Doom Patrol Special #1

What have the Doom Patrol and Justice League of America got in common? They’ve both been based in the seaside town of Happy Harbor, Rhode Island, in a cave below a mountain. So the quiet community is the perfect spot for them to come together. Even before either group arrive, though, things take a weird […]

Teen Titans #16 review

Longtime Teen Titans foe Mammoth has escaped from super-prison and he’s got a mad-on. Luckily, three Titans are on the scene and ready to round him up. There’s an impressive display of teamwork, so you can understand why Starfire is confused afterwards, when it’s anything but Titans Together. Feeling left out – and old – […]

Phoenix Resurrection #4 review

It’s just another day for Jean Grey, small town diner waitress. Wake up in a house razed by fire, talk to the paper boy… Jean isn’t noticing the fiery scenes just at the edge of her vision. Nearby, a mass of mutants have come to New Mexico, on the trail of recent Phoenix Force manifestations. […]

Action Comics #996 review

Today Lois Lane sneaks into the African country of Logamba in a bid to save her military man father from execution. Decades from now, Superman and Booster Gold try to survive New Krypton long enough to get the necessary materials to repair their broken time bubble and return to 2017. It won’t be easy for […]

Trinity #17 review

Superman and Batman are helping Wonder Woman search for Paradise Island, which has been hidden from her by godly hands. Signs of a possible interdimensional portal send the heroes flying to the North Atlantic. And they do indeed come across a doorway to another world; it may not lead to Themyscira, but it’s certainly worth […]

Superman #39 review

It’s just another day in Metropolis. But not for the kids at the Children’s Cancer Centre, who are treated to an amazing sight outside their window. It’s Superman vs old Green Lantern bad guys The Demolition Team – that’s Rosie the Riveter, Hardhat, Jackhammer, Steamroller and – titter – Scoopshovel. Five against one – the […]
