Superman #27 review

Superman is seeing red. Literally. He’s been poisoned by red kryptonite and is finding it hard not to give in to the accompanying induced anger. His state has come to the attention of the immortal guardian of Metropolis, Marilyn Moonlight. Superman wants her to help find Pharm and Graft, mortal enemies of Lex Luthor who, […]

Justice League Unlimited #7 review

The Justice League Watchtower has been invaded by the Legion of Doom. The heroes who noticed the incursion have been banished, and as for the rest… The good guys are no pushovers but they’ve been taken by surprise by a Legion of Doom from years ago, the Gorilla Grodd of today having recruited them with […]

Superman #26 review

Last time Superman fought a super-powered clone of Lex Luthor, with the original bald baddie manipulated by ex-assistant Mercy into killing his deadly doppelgänger. That puts Lex in a prison cell and daughter Lena in a rage. Art by Barrows and Ferreira… I think Lois is in a lab on the Justice League Watchtower having […]

Fire and Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #2 review

The Absolute Power event ended with JLI stalwarts Fire and Ice facing a life with their powers swapped over. So far Bea has been doing OK with Tora’s ice casting, but Tora is freaked out by being able to generate dangerous blasts of flame. Finding a monkey’s paw in Zatanna’s top hat, Bea wishes for […]

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… … […]
