Superman: Heroes #1 review

Superman has revealed his secret identity to the world. How will the planet’s heroes react? That’s the big question we were told this extra-sized special would address. And the answer? What do the members of the crimefighting community have to say? About a sentence each over a busy two pages. Sure, Batman and Wonder Woman […]

Superman #20 review

Intergalactic despot Mongul has turned up to wreck the United Planets’ party. Leaders of the newly formed peace-seeking organisation have gathered to anoint a world their collective home, an admin centre for diplomats, but the cosmic conqueror isn’t having it. Cue a planet-quaking fight with Superman, there as Earth’s UP representative, one that reminds us […]

Action Comics #1019 review

Superman is being attacked by Legion of Doom members Luthor, Brainiac, Grodd, Sinestro and Cheetah. In flashback, we see Luthor and ‘friends’ recruit Leviathan, appearing for the first time since his big event.

Superman #19 review

It’s the day after Superman shared his secret identity with the world. The insurance company is planning to increase the Daily Planet’s premium, predicting that in no short order hordes of villains will attack Superman’s friends. Superman’s friends aren’t so worried. Unsurprisingly, though, editor Perry White feels forced to fire Clark Kent. Surprisingly, after musings […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #3 review

When something great happens it’s natural to want to share it with your best pal. And Jon Kent is really enjoying his new gig as a member of the 31st century Legion of Super-Heroes, so why not bring Damian Wayne forward in time? Sure, he’s not been invited to join the team, but what harm […]

Action Comics #1018 review

Today, the Legion of Doom is trouncing Superman and his Justice League partners. Earlier, Metropolis fire chief Melody Moore has news for Clark Kent. Six months ago, dogged young reporter Robinson Goode has a run-in with shady scientists from Star Labs. In order of interest, I’d say the origin of Red Cloud is most compelling, […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #2 review

Superboy’s first day at ‘future college’ is proving eventful. Legionnaire Ultra Boy has grabbed the legendary trident of Aquaman from Planet Gotham to stop it falling into the hands of either the villainous Mordru, or his own father, a powerful man on the world of Rimbor obsessed with tracking down fabled objects of power. Ultra […]

Superman #18 review

In which Superman votes for the first time as Earth’s representative to the new United Planets and reveals to the world – heck, the universe – that he’s also Clark Kent. This is the issue I’ve been waiting for these last several months, since the DC Comics publicity machine told us what the latest twist […]
