Superwoman #1 review

A few months ago, when the New 52 Superman died, in a panel that didn’t call attention to it itself, his energy passed onto Lois Lane and Lana Lang. Anj from Supergirl Comic Box Commentary totally called it, as the kids say, and predicted it would lead to this Superwoman series. And here it is, […]

Barbara Gordon has had a heck of a time of late, what with supervillain vendettas, setting up a new energy company and trying to find time for romance. Given an opportunity to catch a breath, and with money no problem, most of us would grab our other half and take off on a nice holiday. […]

Action Comics #960 review

It’s the battle of Metropolis, Superman and Lex Luthor vs Doomsday. Upstate. Lois, with son Jon at her side, watches Clark emerge from the site of an explosion to resume his fight with the unstoppable monster. Wonder Woman appears, joins the battle and meets the man claiming to be Clark Kent. She, reasonably, assumes he’s […]

Red Hood and the Outlaws Rebirth #1 review

Red Hood and the Outsiders was one of the bigger hits of the New 52, where longevity is concerned, managing 40 issues and the odd annual. The adventures of Jason Todd and pals Starfire and Arsenal got off to a bad start with the three characters the superhero equivalent of a circuit party, but things […]
