Challengers of the Unknown #3 review

The Challengers of the Unknown have been invited to be part of the new Justice League Unlimited. They’re smart, skilled and massively experienced in investigating the weird. Well, anomalies have been popping up all over universe, individual members of the core team have been teaming with Leaguers to investigate, disturbing things have been occurring that […]

Green Arrow #17 review

Who wants an epilogue to Green Arrow’s Absolute Power adventure, tying things up in a bow? It begins with Green Arrow hunting down Waller’s henchpeople, Peacemaker and Peacewrecker. Then he visits the newly imprisoned Amanda Waller. Popping up to the new JLA Satellite. Ollie tells the core members that in pretending to betray them to […]

Green Arrow #15 review

‘Action-packed’ is a fair way to describe this issue. ‘Green Arrow-packed’, less so. As with last issue, Ollie Queen is barely in his own book. Sure, his son Connor Hawke is around and dressed in a Green Arrow outfit, but no one buys this book for Connor Hawke. It’s a shame we don’t spend much […]

Green Arrow #14 review

What is Oliver Queen up to? He’s publicly allied himself with Suicide Squad chief turned dictator Amanda Waller, helping her oppress his fellow superheroes. He’s not out hunting heroes – the souped up Amazo androids are doing that – but he is passing on their secrets and cataloguing the weapons ‘The Wall’ has stolen from […]

Hawkgirl #1 review

It’s Kendra Saunders flying high on the cover of this six-part mini-series. She’s not my favourite Hawkgirl, but I’ve followed her since her JSA debut through various books. Most recently she was in Justice League, deeply in love with J’onn J’onzz and devoted to their alternate dimension son Shayne. But, as they say in Airplane, […]

The Flash #786 review

Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths is in full swing and if you want a swinging superhero saga, this is the issue for you. It’s the most fun I’ve had with a DC book in ages. ‘High-Speed Alert’ kicks off with Titans Donna Troy and Cyborg handing out assignments as the latest reality-threatening event sends the […]

The Flash #785 review

For the last few issues we’ve had three teams from the Flash Family on three parallel Earths looking for the supposedly dead Barry Allen in a Dark Crisis tie-in. Wally and Ace are in a seemingly idyllic world where Barry Allen has indeed been exiled by the madman Pariah. Wally’s kids, Irey and Jai, are […]

The Flash #783 review

‘Raise your hand if you’re through with multiple universes’ says Wally West. Well, the collective DC being certainly doesn’t raise a hand, cosmic or otherwise, because the parallel world tales keep on coming, no matter how often we’re told that we’ve just read the final last ultimate Crisis, honestly. This summer it’s the Dark Crisis, […]

Gotham City Monsters #1 review

In the dark night of Gotham, an eternal battle continues. Across town, a career criminal is hoping to turn over a new leaf. In a bar, a spy with no home carries on his work. Beneath Gotham Harbour, a creature mourns for the woman she once was. A woman of clay yearns to find herself. […]
