Justice League #60 review

Last issue, a new threat appeared in the kingdom of Kahndaq – Brutus, monstrous warrior from the homeworld of new heroine Naomi McDuffie. Now, having connected the invader’s energy signature to Naomi, Black Adam, Kahndaq’s ruler, wants a word, and turns up in her Oregon hometown with typical bombast. Justice Leaguer Superman, though, isn’t about […]

Future State: Shazam #2 review

Ever had one of those weeks when there really are no comics you fancy? DC’s Future State event continues to churn out depressing-looking fare, mostly Bat-books, and with nothing that immediately appealed, an act of desperation – I bought Shazam! #2 and went back a few digital weeks and got the first issue too. I’d […]

Justice League: Endless Winter #1 review

In Greenland, in the Arctic Circle, a Stagg Industries team is scavenging. On an island in the Arabian Sea, a cadre of criminals are catching some sun. The quiet moments don’t last, though. First, Catman, Rampage, Multiplex and Icicle are rudely interrupted by the Justice League of America. The Stagg team, though, are pleased to […]

The Flash #762 review

Thank you Josh Williamson. I don’t think I’ve ever started a review with thanks. That kills the suspense. I liked this issue. A lot. And the ending… just perfect. It’s the conclusion to the Finish Line storyline, which we know is Williamson’s last before he steps off the book. I didn’t know this was his […]

Justice League #51 review

The Flash, Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Lantern and Superman are flying back to Earth after the gruelling space saga of the last few issues. In the back of their minds, something is speaking to the individuals heroes, digging around in their subconscious. Back in the Now, they realise that their course has changed. They’re heading […]

Justice League #49 review

Wonder Woman, Flash, Batman, Superman and Green Lantern are on the planet Trotha after rescuing its children from danger in space and freeing the people from a despotic queen. But… consequences. Having saved the planet’s two tribes from lives of slavery, the Justice League announced that they could now rule themselves. But they didn’t want […]

Suicide Squad #6 review

Fight scene choreography is something I have trouble with; either a lot of artists are less than excellent at it or, more likely, I’m terrible at parsing the visuals. If that’s the problem, Bruno Redondo is the solution. That is stunning artwork. There isn’t a panel in which I don’t know what’s going on. There’s […]

Suicide Squad #2 review

Amanda Waller is gone. She’s ceded her job as Task Force X supremo to the mysterious Lok. And where it used to be that missions were voluntary – a super convict agrees to be a covert op for the US in return for remission – there are new rules. It doesn’t actually sound like a […]
