Convergence: The Titans #1 review

In the year since Brainiac kidnapped Gotham City, placing it under a dome that takes away any superhuman abilities or advantages, sidekick-turned-adult hero Roy Harper has been doing good in a new way. A grant from the Wayne Foundation has funded a community centre in late daughter Lian’s name, and he’s keeping an eye out […]

Convergence: The Atom #1

You know the Convergence score by now. Cities from different realities have been placed under domes. New villain Telos wants heroes to fight for the right to party … er, regain their world. Gotham City was suddenly everyone’s favourite vacation destination. Including Ray Palmer. And Deathstroke. The latter has been lying low for a year, […]

Convergence: Justice League #1 review

One year ago, the female Justice League members were at a baby shower in Gotham City for Jesse Quick, when the baby arrived quicker than expected. Supergirl flew Jesse to hospital while Zatanna, Vixen and Jade followed, laden down with gifts. And that’s when the city was surrounded by an unbreakable, super-power-sucking dome, and transported […]

Convergence: Nightwing and Oracle #1 review

If Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson used Facebook, they might define their relationship status as ‘complicated . Their love for one another is obvious – this Convergence micro-series sees them working as crimefighting partners, with massive affection for one another, and faith in each other’s crimefighting abilities. On the other hand, Dick can’t decide to […]

Convergence: Superman #1

They’ve been stuck under an impenetrable, power-dampening dome for a year, but are Superman and Lois Lane downhearted? Are they heck? Clark is on the streets doing his best to fight crime like a minor league Batman, while Lois is his lo-tech Oracle, at his side every step of the way. Knowing Lois, she’d be […]

DC Digital Wonder Woman ’77 #4

It’s been a few weeks since the first Wonder Woman ’77 story – it’s on an alternating schedule with Sensation Comics – but she’s back, and in a very strange place. As we join Agent Diana Prince she’s in the street, waking from a fainting spell. All she can remember about her life is her […]

Futures End #48 review

Looking back to my review of Free Comic Book Day offering Futures End #0, I was really looking forward to seeing where the book went after such a strong start. And the answer is, all over the place. It’s been the Lombard Street of comics, turning on a dime. There have been some great moments […]

Convergence #0 review

Trapped on an unknown world by a massive, monstrous Brainiac, with no idea why he’s been brought there, or even how long it’s been since he arrived, Superman is frustrated. Well, in his civilian life he’s a journalist, a dealer in facts. Here, his captor delights in dropping, dripping hints about his plans, refusing to […]

World’s Finest #32 review

Comics can be so surprising. I’d never have guessed that the best Lois Lane story I’ve read in years would feature the Earth 2 Red Tornado version. Because while I don’t like Lois being slaughtered at the Daily Planet, I hate the idea of her being denied heaven, forced to be an android warrior, and learning that […]

Batman Eternal #51 review

So, last week we had the big reveal as to just who’s been bedevilling Batman and friends for the last few issues … Cluemaster. Apparently there was a lot of grumbling after Batman Eternal #50 that Stephanie Brown’s dad isn’t a big enough name to be the mastermind who’s brought Gotham City down around Batman’s […]
