Superman #3 review

Young Jon Kent has superpowers but his wavering levels of invulnerability worry parents Lois and Clark. They take him to the Fortress of Solitude, intending to run tests using Kryptonian tech, but come across some Kryptonian tech they’d not bargained on. The Eradicator? Well, an Eradicator from some version of Krypton. Originally a robot cop serving […]

Gods of War #2 review

The last time I reviewed an issue of Hercules I assumed it was the final number, but no, writer Dan Abnett was allowed to continue his story almost immediately in this renamed mini-series. So I was made an ass, but I couldn’t be happier and heck, man to donkey is a very Classical transformation and […]

The Vision #9 review

I read my comics digitally these days and when I get to the end of an issue, I’m invited to rate the book. I’m not a great one for rating comics, preferring to let words do the work, but touching the Comixology stars changes their colour. And that just makes me happy. Yes, I am […]

Wonder Woman #2 review

Princess Diana of the Amazons is growing up on Themyscira. Steve Trevor is undergoing rites of passage in the Air Force. Diana gets bitten by a snake. Steve is named godfather to his friends’ baby. And on the final page, Diana finds Steve amid the wreckage of a crashed plane. So yes, the latest telling […]

New Super-Man #1 review

In Shanghai, a youth chases another down the street. Bully and victim. So it’s a surprise when, a little later on, the bad boy saves the timid teen from a supervillain. Kenan Kong isn’t all bad. His better instincts take over when victim Luo Lixin is in proper danger, and while he’s soon back to […]

Nightwing Rebirth #1 review

This latest DC Rebirth one-off isn’t what I expected, but it’s precisely what it should be. I expected Dick back as Nightwing from the get-go, his Grayson adventure behind him, off to the land of entertaining footnotes. But that’s not what writer Tim Seeley and artist Yanick Paquette give us – this is a smart […]

Adventures of Supergirl #13 review

It’s Kara’s final battle against Facet. The former warden of Krypton’s Fort Rozz has thrown everything she can at Supergirl in a bid to make her stronger. But Kara has her own definition of ‘stronger’ and it’s not about cruelty, it’s not about judging others – it’s about family. ‘Stronger together’, that’s her motto, and […]

Batman #2 review

New heroes on the block Gotham and Gotham Girl are chasing down Solomon Grundy, but not doing very well. It takes Batman to stop the rampaging swamp monster. Gotham asks Batman to help them become better heroes. They get a chance later when a man who claims to have freed Grundy to go crazy in […]

Superman #2 review

Jon Smith is scared. His Dad spotted him spying on his meeting with Batman and Wonder Woman at the family farm, appeared in his bedroom and demanded he come with him… and now they’re in the middle of a frozen sea in, let’s say, Alaska. But he needn’t have worried, his father isn’t angry – […]

Justice League Rebirth #1 review

New York is being destroyed by a space cockroach. A bug so massive that the tiniest part of a tentacle can bring a skyscraper crashing to the ground. It’s spewing forth mini-mes that attach themselves to humans and enslave them. And the Justice League really don’t know how to beat this thing – Cyborg tries […]
