The Flash #22 review

It’s a race against time as the Flash and Batman bid to solve the mystery of the smiley face button which appeared in the Batcave. Using a Cosmic Treadmill to traverse the timestream, they’ve encountered the ever-evil Reverse-Flash. Last time they saw him, a few minutes ago in their personal perception of time, he was […]

Superman #23 review

As a curious, angry Lois is telekinetically kept at bay by neighbour turned antagonist Cobb Branden, Superman examines the prison tubes containing Batman, Robin, Frankenstein and more. Lois assumes, reasonably, that Cobb is a villain, but he disagrees. Lois fights back with her Bat-gauntlet, angering Cobb and bringing a very angry Superman to the scene, […]

Retro Review: Justice League of America #145 (August 1977)

So come with me back to, well, half an hour ago when I finished the comic, for a tale of the JLA when they were at their most iconic, the Satellite Era. When the World’s Greatest Superheroes watched over the planet’s population from – all together now – 22,300 miles above Earth. Before the story, […]

Superwoman #10 review

Lana Lang is fighting… someone. We can see the arms, and readers of Superman past with particularly sharp visual recall might recognise the villain as Skyhook, a monster who stole children from the streets of Metropolis. Flash back several years and Natasha, niece of Lana’s boyfriend John Henry Irons, gets herself home after her no-good […]

Titans #11 review

Years ago, young supervillain Grant Wilson, the Ravager, died while operating as an agent of the HIVE. His father Slade, aka Deathstroke the Terminator, blamed the Titans, who were fighting Grant at the time. Today, the Titans are again fighting HIVE operatives. At least they think they are. It turns out they’re imposters, hired to, […]

Too Dangerous For a Girl’s European Vacation

Well, it looks like no reviews from me until I get back to the UK from a cruise down the Western Mediterranean on Sunday. Action Comics and Titans are ready to go but it’s a bugger getting them uploaded. My apologies (not that it’ll ruin anyone’s day!). Be well, catch you soon.

Action Comics #979 review

Clark and Lois are in the market for a property. Now they’re both back at the Daily Planet a long commute to Hamilton makes no sense, says Lois. So they’re looking at a duplex – top-floor, so Superman can better fly off on business – and hoping son Jon won’t be too upset about moving […]

The Fall and Rise of Captain Atom #5 review

A freak connection to Captain Atom has made condemned man Max Thrane a quantum killer. He’s beaten Cap – Nathaniel Adam – and gone on the run, but is our hero’s boss, General Eiling, worried about what he may do next? Nope, the man is addicted to lying, alway finding some excuse to disseminate that ol’ […]

Superman #22 review

Lois Kent is worried. Husband Clark, son Jon and family friends Bruce and Damian have gone missing. And whatever can stop Superman, Superboy, Batman and Robin returning begs to be investigated. Luckily, Lois Kent is also Lois Lane, one of the world’s top investigative reporters. Outside her home, the tree often occupied by Jon and […]

The Flash #21 review

The Reverse-Flash, Professor Zoom, is dead. Batman, savagely beaten by him, is recovering. And the Fastest CSI Alive is on the case. Finding his own energy signature all over Zoom’s corpse, Barry fears that perhaps he’s Zoom’s killer, at some point yet to come. In Bruce Wayne’s bedroom, the heroes discuss Zoom’s claim, before he […]
