Superman Unchained #9 review

An alien armada is fast approaching Earth, one so powerful there may be only thing that could stop them – the death of Superman. Lex Luthor has given the Man of Steel a vial of solar fuel which, when injected in the vicinity of the invasion force, will make him explode with unimaginable power. Batman […]

Tiny Titans: Return to the Treehouse #5 review

This week’s Sensation Comics scrap between Wonder Woman and the Cheetah reminded me that I never got round to highlighting another recent encounter between the two. And where SC #12 was trying to be all-grown-up with its blood and guts, Tiny Titans remains defiantly all-ages, and all the better for it. If you’ve not been […]

Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman #12

It’s old home week as former Wonder Woman artist Drew Johnson takes a turn on Sensation Comics. He’s illustrating a tale by Michael Jelenic which begins with Diana’s bid to secure the egg of a phoenix. A long hunt in Arabia is about to end in success when the Cheetah shows up, enticed by the […]

Wonder Woman #35 review

It’s ages since I dropped Wonder Woman. Brian Azzarello’s makeover of the Amazon legend was, to understate, not my cup of tea. But I can’t resist an ending, so popped back to see how Azzarello and artistic partner Cliff Chiang wrap up their three-year story before the next creative team arrives. In a nice bow, […]

Justice League United Annual #1 review

Having rescued hybrid child Ultra the Multi-Alien from the shape-changer Byth, the members of Justice League United might expect a breather. But no, J’onn Jonzz, Equinox and Alanna Strange are confronted by a stranger claiming to be from 1000 years hence, Mon-El of the Legion of Super-Heroes. And he has one mission – to save […]

Infinity Man and the Forever People #4 review

Bat Cow is a strange beast. But then so is this comic. The first few issues of this New52 take on Jack Kirby’s Fourth World space hippies have gone heavy on the cosmic drama, but it’s comedy to the fore this time. Not that there aren’t serious moments, but the encounter between the young students’ […]

And behind them, a couple of classic baddies from the farther reaches of the DC Universe. Wonder Woman and Big Barda, from Jack Kirby’s Fourth World, is […]

Catwoman #35 review

Selina Kyle has claimed her inheritance. Daughter of crime boss Rex ‘Leo’ Calabrese, she’s abandoned her costumed ways to rebuild a battered Gotham by uniting the city’s crime families.How that works, I don’t know. And we’re not told in this first issue of a new direction. We’re just informed that Selina’s new ‘business interests’ are […]

Arkham Manor #1 review

Arkham Asylum is no more, blown to smithereens. The authorities need to store the inmates somewhere while rebuilding goes on, but the citizenry aren’t thrilled by the immediate solution, a sports stadium in the heart of the city.The mayor looks at the options, out-of-the-way buildings that can be made secure enough for the worst Gotham […]

DC Digital – Sensation Comics featuring Wonder Woman #10

Wonder Woman is big in Gateway City. Literally. She’s used the Atom’s size-changing technology to take on a giant monster. But not just any monster – Byth, shape-changing enemy of Hawkwoman and Hawkman. The winged wonders are on hand alongside the Tiny Titan, but this is Wonder Woman’s show, because size isn’t everything – Amazonian […]
