Nightwing #105 review

Eighteen months ago we had a remarkable issue of Nightwing in which writer-artist partnership Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo told the story via one panel that stretched across 20 or so pages. That went down a storm and now Dick Grayson’s daddies are trying another high concept in a story entitled ‘You are Nightwing’. Redondo’s […]

The Batman and Scooby-Doo Mysteries #9 review

That’s a pretty fun cover – given how often Mystery Inc visit Gotham, a Scooby signal seems entirely appropriate. It’s a bit of a shame that it represents the final page splash, but never mind, there’s lots of great stuff before that. This issue’s hi-jinks kick off with Batman, Batgirl and Commissioner Gordon in Crystal […]

The Flash #800 review

‘A celebration of Wally West’ is what the copy atop Taurin Clarke’s slick cover illustration promises, and while this anniversary issue doesn’t always keep the focus on the third hero to ride the thunderbolt, it’s a cracking anthology. Most recent writer Jeremy Adams kicks off the issue with a villain tale, but for once it’s […]

DC Pride 2023 #1 review

Finally, I remember that I don’t have to buy a DC giant digitally because it goes into the DC Infinite app on the same day. DC wants their annual Pride anthology to be as available to as many people as possible, which is very commendable. I apologise in advance if I mangle anyone’s pronouns. I […]

Power Girl Special #1 review

After three short stories in the back of Action Comics, Power Girl punches her way into a one-off special… and gets a back-up of her own. The storyline continues from Peege’s recent run, with JSA villain Johnny Sorrow revealed as the reason Super folk – Beast Boy, Supergirl and Jon Kent – have been having […]

Unstoppable Doom Patrol #3 review

The Doom Patrol really do have to be unstoppable this month or their new mission of ‘saving the world by saving the monsters’ is dead in the water. Negative Man and Robotman are being chased by two Green Lanterns they try to get a new metahuman to the relative safety of their HQ. Their charge […]

Action Comics #1055 review

The Metallo storyline that’s occupied the Superman feature over the last few months morphs into a Cyborg Superman storyline, as Hank Henshaw’s latest incarnation heaps trouble on the Super Family. It turns out he’s the one who instructed Metallo to turn the anti-alien protestors of Metropolis into a rampaging ‘Necrohive’. Having declared himself, the Cyborg […]
