JSA #4 review

Dr Mid-Nite wakes, having been captured by the Injustice Society, and she has a guard. A very large guard. Beth Chapel, though, has skills. Skills taught her by the likes of Batman, Mr Miracle and (of course) Wildcat. She escapes, and sneaks upon the villains as they plot. The red-suited Johnny Sorrow has recently been […]

JSA #2 review

Ah, who doesn’t like a homage to All-Star Squadron #1, promising an issue in which the leaders of a Justice Society team picks the latest line-up. Well, it’s a promise that remains unfulfilled here, as there’s nothing remotely resembling such a moment. What we get is the resolution of last issue’s cliffhanger. But not straight […]

Blue Beetle #7 review

The cover promises fun, and by gum, that’s what we get inside as Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes and Booster Gold go on a quest to help Blue Beetle Ted Kord get himself together. Literally. It’s an old school quest, the kind of thing the Justice League would occupy themselves with every other month in the […]

Blue & Gold #3 review

It’s Michael and Ted vs a space princess in the latest issue of the long-awaited Blue Beetle/Booster Gold mini-series. The lady’s name is Omnizon, and she wants someone to take her to Earth’s leader. Of course, Earth doesn’t have one, with so many governments around the world. Instead of demanding the planet be handed over […]

Future State: Superman of Metropolis #2 review

In which new Superman Jon Kent starts to realise that shrinking Metropolis to ‘protect’ it from threats perhaps wasn’t the best idea. And Supergirl shows that she’s pretty great at the hero game. Well, this is better than last issue. Jon is much improved, he’s no longer arrogant and impetuous as he takes on Brainiac […]

Future State: Superman of Metropolis #1 review

DC’s possible future event opens, for me anyway, with a look at the world of Jonathan Kent. He’s taken over as Superman and is fighting to keep the peace in a Metropolis that’s very different to today’s City of Tomorrow. The young hero feels drastic action is needed. Soon, second cousin Kara comes calling. Would […]

DC Cybernetic Summer #1 review

Growing up in the UK, summer specials were a thing – tabloid-sized editions of our weekly favourites on super-shiny paper, all in colour for 25p… back then full-colour was reserved for only a few pages in the likes of the Beano, Dandy and Bunty. I loved them, so I couldn’t resist this seasonal special. And […]
