Having been teased by the team that one of Superman’s old girlfriends would be making a comeback, […]

All-New Invaders #1 review

OK axis, here we come! That was the battle cry of the Invaders at their Seventies height, when Roy Thomas, Frank Robbins and a bunch of other creators revealed untold tales of Captain America, Namor, Human Torch, Toro and Bucky in the Big One. This comeback comic is set in the present day, is absent […]

Justice League #27 review

Old-time supervillain is the voice of reason. Check. Props from previous comics continuity show up in the background? Check. Characters created […]

Superboy #27 review

The big tease at the end of last issue was the reveal of a new version of the Legion of Super-Heroes. This issue? Not a sniff of Saturn Girl, Invisible Kid or the rest of the 30th century’s favourite super-teens. Instead we have, well … The voice in Jon Lane Kent’s head which has been […]

All-New X-Factor #1 review

And that brand is Serval Industries, whose sponsorship message is on the cover and pervades the interior. You may have noticed the corporation’s logo lately in such books as Mighty Avengers, and here we find out what they’re […]
