Superman and the Authority are on Warworld to free the slaves of the latest tyrant in the Mongul line. The thing is, they don’t seem to want to be rescued. While Superman takes on the master, his allies face up to the servants of Warworld. Once again Action Comics lives up to its name, as […]

Action Comics #1035 review

Action is the name of the game as this issue opens, with Superboy frantically fighting off a near-crazy Thao-La. The refugee from Warworld has seen her friends murdered by lackeys of Mongul, and believes that if she doesn’t kill Superman’s loved ones, the rest of her people will be slaughtered. She’s already attacked Lois in […]

Teen Titans Academy #6 review

This issue Red X… … doesn’t appear, isn’t mentioned, may as well not exist. This issue features a handful of The Roy Harper Academy students having a summer holiday adventure after taking a day trip outside New York. This issue is just great, because as well as the absence of Red X, it’s also without […]

Joining Cyborg, Nightwing shares his worries about one […]

Teen Titans Academy #1 review

Term begins at the Roy Harper Titans Academy, the DC Universe’s brand new school for ‘gifted youngsters’. I’m not being snarky, the phrase is right there in the splash page legend for this Future State spin-out, which tells us that Nightwing, Donna Troy, Cyborg, Starfire, Raven and Beast Boy are ready to mentor the next […]

Challenge of the Super Sons #1 review

Have you ever not bothered asking for something for Christmas because you thought there was no chance of getting it? With Jon Kent now a late teenager and off in the 31st century in the Legion of Super-Heroes series, and Damian Wayne more of a loose cannon than ever over in Teen Titans, I thought […]

Nightwing #77 review

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the city, Nightwing was endeavouring to fight the self-pity Much-needed distraction comes in the shape of two cases – the weekly break-out at Arkham Asylum, and problems at a computer company. Batman takes the former, while Nightwing accepts the Dexiturn Technologies job. The blackmailer is asking for […]
