Titans #8 review

Everybody hates the Titans. They’ve just saved the world from the Beast Boy plague, which came about because Gar Logan saved the universe, but Sarge Steel of Amanda Waller’s Unamerican-sounding Bureau of Sovereignty is piling on the good guys. Maybe a new toy will cheer the Titans up. Also, it’s windy down south. And when […]

Tales of the Titans #3 review

Donna Troy stars in the penultimate issue of the Titans mini-series and I can’t remember the last time she had a spotlight tale. The Girl Frenzy event, maybe? The DC Special mini-series. Either way, it’s a couple of decades. Now here she is and we get to see what she does in her downtime away […]

Titans #3 review

The Titans aren’t known for stealth. With an Amazonian powerhouse, an energy-blasting space princess and a half-man, half-robot whose biggest weapon is a white noise generator on the team, that’s not surprising. But they also have one of the world’s greatest detectives and a shapechanger to hand. So it is that Beast Boy takes the […]

Titans #1 review

It’s the big reveal of the new Titans Tower. The latest incarnation of the much-destroyed heroes’ headquarters is in Blüdhaven, home of team leader Nightwing. And Batman fans might notice some nostalgic detail. Those internal trees just scream ‘Wayne Foundation’ and I’m good with that, I love that iconic Gotham building. How the Titans are […]

World of Krypton #6 review

Security leader Zod’s teams are responding with deadly force. And, caught in the middle, are Zor-El, Alura and their daughter Kara. The security troopers are brutal with the panicking citizens […]

The clock for the last days of Krypton continues to count down in the third issue of this mini-series, with a number of vignettes enriching the world as it takes the story forward. First, we meet a curious young lady. Her would-be teacher, Catar-Ol, is impressed, and discusses Kara’s possible paths with her mother, Alura […]

World of Krypton #2 review

After an assassination attempt on Jor-El, Zor-El and baby Kara Zor-El, black sheep of the family Kru-El is put on trial. New Head of Planetary Security Dru-Zod – he won the role by saving the Els – wants to come down heavy on Kru, who hoped to wipe out his cousins so he’d be head […]

Aquaman #43 review

It’s a brand new day for Aquaman. Washed up on the shores of an unknown island after the Drowned Earth crossover, he’s been taken in by an old couple. Outside, a storm rages, and a young woman walks, scattering flowers over a dead rabbit. The Justice Leaguer has lost his memory, and no one seems […]
