Green Lantern Corps #1 review

The Green Lantern Corps is back. They’re not at full strength yet, but there are enough of them to protect children from space slavers. A dozen Lanterns soon have longtime JLA bad guy Kanjar Ro and his gang under arrest, so it’s back to the space precinct on Oa. Running the show is Jessica Cruz, […]

JSA #4 review

Dr Mid-Nite wakes, having been captured by the Injustice Society, and she has a guard. A very large guard. Beth Chapel, though, has skills. Skills taught her by the likes of Batman, Mr Miracle and (of course) Wildcat. She escapes, and sneaks upon the villains as they plot. The red-suited Johnny Sorrow has recently been […]

Shazam! #20 review

Gleb Melnikov’s cover gives the Captain and Jon Kent room to breathe, and that turns out to be rather fitting by the end of the issue. Regular writer Josie Campbell is away this month, so stepping forward to work with regular artist Dan McDaid is Sina Grace, who takes the opportunity to give us a […]

Daily Planet legends Jimmy Olsen and Perry White have been catching up over brunch, with better halves Siobhan and Alice.

The crew call themselves The Aftermath, and their leader […]

Justice League Unlimited #3 review

And this is what we call firing on all cylinders! Last issue the new super-Justice League foiled a plot by leftover Darkseid parademons but learned there’s another threat to Earth – a mystery organisation going by Inferno. This time, we join the heroes a week later, as they tackle a threat to Earth’s very ecosystem. […]
