Superman #24 review

Oh Mercy, and you were doing so well… Mercy Graves, right-hand woman of Lex Luthor when he was evil, current manager of Supercorp, shocks Superman with the results of her R&D division. Maybe these drones can do some good, but the designs alone would scare ordinary folk. While Mercy and recovering villain Lex show what […]

Superman #23 review

Goodness me, this is a busy issue, beginning with Superwoman Lois’s confrontation with the Time Trapper – a far future, evolved version of Doomsday. He wants Lois to do what Superman wouldn’t – kill him, so he can evolve to a higher form and rule eternity. He offers to give Superman a better future than […]

Superman #22 review

Daily Planet legends Jimmy Olsen and Perry White have been catching up over brunch, with better halves Siobhan and Alice. When they look up, up in the sky above Metropolis they spot what undoubtedly qualifies as breaking news. Superman and Superwoman confronted by an alien armada. The crew call themselves The Aftermath, and their leader […]

Justice League Unlimited #3 review

And this is what we call firing on all cylinders! Last issue the new super-Justice League foiled a plot by leftover Darkseid parademons but learned there’s another threat to Earth – a mystery organisation going by Inferno. This time, we join the heroes a week later, as they tackle a threat to Earth’s very ecosystem. […]

Superman #21 review

After the intensity of recent run-ins with Doomsday and the Time Trapper, Superman wants a night off. With wife Lois now having Superwoman powers, she’s able to accompany him to the moon for a game of outsized darts. After that, still more fun. There’s even a team-up with Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld. It’s not all […]

Justice League Unlimited #1 review

It’s a brand new day for the heroes of the DC Universe, as the Justice League becomes the umbrella organisation under which all heroes are invited to operate, as Flash tells first-timer Air Wave. The missions doled out by Red Tornado in this debut issue include an attack by War Wheels in South Africa… … […]

Superman #19 review

Things I like to see in a Superman comic include: An intriguing opening. Fun at the Daily Planet. Action. And mystery. So who is the Time Trapper this week? In past stories the embodiment of Entropy has been revealed as a Controller, Glorith, Lori Morning, Cosmic Boy… heck, probably Sugar & Spike and Ace the […]

Absolute Power #4 review

Amanda Waller’s power is no longer absolute. The superheroes have broken out of her prison on the island of Genosha. The Brainiac Queen has been defeated. And Superman Jr Jon Kent has been freed from cybernetic servitude, giving the depowered good guys a very powerful asset. A two-pronged plan is hatched. The heroes will break […]

Superman #18 review

Superman hates magic. That’s the point that’s being rammed home again and again as he searches for the Map of Mordru with Justice League friend Zatanna. And now the heroes have found the demonic document, but it’s in the hands of someone who very much isn’t a friend. Neron. The devil from the depths of […]

Absolute Power #3 review

The DC summer event continues with the heroes who haven’t been captured by mad Amanda Waller having fled the Fortress of Solitude in the midst of an attack by a corrupted Jon Kent. So where have the de-powered freedom fighters shown up courtesy of a jury-rigged teleporter? It’s Paradise Island, magically protected from the android […]
