Superman #17 review

This is Superman patrolling in the Silver Age. This is Superman patrolling today. Isn‘t that glorious? The image comes courtesy of illustrator Kevin Maguire and colourist Paul Mounts, the idea comes from the mind of Brian Bendis. Different angles on Superman’s powers and personality are becoming his speciality, and we’re certainly getting an example of […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #1 review

It’s Jon Kent’s first day in the 31st century with the Legion of Super-Heroes and he’s having his mind blown. Across the galaxy, things have kicked off on Planet Gotham. And soon, Legion headquarters has some very unwelcome visitors… Yes, that’s probably the most sparse issue recap I’ve ever done, but it’s been six years […]

Action Comics #1016 review

It’s Superman vs Red Cloud round three. Or is it four? Whatever the case, things are different this time, as the mysterious villain is more powerful than ever, courtesy of Lex Luthor. Metropolis Marvel and Misty Murderess face off in the heart of the city, but readers aren’t there as it happens. Nope, writer Brian […]

Event Leviathan #5 review

Well, that was exciting. Turning the pages of Event Leviathan #5, I’m trying not to speed through, because while I want to get to the big reveal, I equally want to enjoy the sights the ride offers, see if I can work things out before all is apparent. We begin with Lois and her secret […]

Legion of Super-Heroes: Millennium #2

And then… In a thoroughly civilised future, the immortal Rose Forrest is visiting the Space Museum, looking at displays reflecting the long-ago 21st century which spawned her.

There’s a new kid in town. Naomi, fresh from the pages of her debut mini-series, comes looking for Superman. And she’s not wasted a moment…this is the day she discovered she has powers. This is the day she finds she can fly. And this is the day she makes a friend. Two, actually… As it […]

Superman #15 review

Oh, how I love a good old-fashioned cover with an intriguing situation encapsulated by dialogue; I think DC has some kind of linewide word balloon cover stunt this month. Whatever the case, this nicely previews one of the plot points from this issue. But there are more. Starting with… What the heck are we going […]

Young Justice #8 review

Banished from Gemworld by magic-wielding aristocrats into the realm of parallel realities, our young heroes just want to find the map that could get them home. What they find instead are the angriest teenagers ever. The YJ members have varying levels of success against their Earth 3 opposites, while an unknown narrator lets us know […]

Event Leviathan #4 review

It’s the long night of Leviathan. After the razing of the world’s covert organisations, Superman, Batman and friends believe something bad is coming in the morning. They’ve gathered to pool information in the hope of answering the question: Who is Leviathan? Leviathan is who made Superman look ineffective as they whisked Task Force X chief […]

‪Legion of Super-Heroes: Millennium #1‬ review

It’s the future. A young woman has an audience with the President. Rose and the Thorn. Ordinary woman and her split personality ‘sister’, a crazed vigilante who’s begun to suspect she’s immortal. Rose, who has been the dominant personality for years due to drug treatment, is terrified that the Thorn is about to re-emerge. It’s […]
