Batman/Superman: World’s Finest Annual 2026 #1 review

Now here’s an intriguing cover – Jonathan Kent and Alfred Pennyworth looking down on the city in a nod to Carmine Infantino’s classic Sixties Batman and Robin poster. The only change I’d make to Dan Mora’s design would be the removal of the combined Batman/Superman signal, it makes the page too cluttered. Inside we have […]

Action Comics #1100 review

Now that’s a cover worthy of an anniversary issue, so thanks to Ryan Sook for getting Action Comics #1100 off to a super start. Just look at those Supermen of different eras – there’s no New 52 fella, what a shame – and details such as the Lexcorp-sponsored racing car and visual pun of the […]

Superman #40 review

The ghost of Manchester Black has gained enough physicality to go toe-to-toe with Superboy Prime. But if he’s going to force the wannabe Superman to do what he wishes – use his reality altering power to reshape the world to his ends – he’s going to have to use his mental powers to sap Prime’s […]

Superman #39 review

Judge this book by Dan Mora’s stupendous cover and just buy it, OK. Because yes, this comic does feature Superboy Prime trapped in a landscape of different genres and it is ridiculously entertaining. It’s not Prime – he prefers to be called CK these days – using his reality punching power to explore, though; he’s […]

Justice League Unlimited #19 review

What is the Revenge of the Brainiac Queen, trailed on Dan Mora’s decent cover? Refusing to appear until the final page, apparently. Oh well, it’s not like anyone has been clamouring for the return of the nasty robot from Absolute Power What I have been wondering is how the world at large would react to […]

Superman #38 review

After a long day working at the comics shop in his secret identity of CK, Superboy answers a cry for help. Super-costume on, he lays into the refugees from Universal studios – and Marvel Comics, in Dracula’s case – but finds he’s been played. The ‘victim’ had set a trap for him. Declaring herself to […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #51 review

It’s Superman, Batman and Robin fighting dinosaurs and lizard men in the lost world of the Warlord! I expect you’re sold. If not, I’ll mention there’s a story in here, too. Yes, it’s a slim one to explain why the World’s Finest heroes are in Skartaris, but it’s there. They’re looking for a missing airman. […]

Justice League Unlimited #18 review

Letting villains join Justice League Unlimited is a terrible idea Justice League Unlimited #18 is my favourite issue of the series so far. A day in the life issue, writer Mark Waid uses it as an opportunity to address the questions that would arise when a society for good opens its doors to people who […]

Superman #37 review

Just imagine you suddenly found yourself a superhero in the DC Universe, what would you do? Knuckle down in the day-to-day while waiting for the inevitable supervillain to show up? Or tour the weird and wonderful sites the comic book world has to offer. The latter, obviously, which is exactly how Superboy Prime prefers to […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #50 review

How’s this for an anniversary cover? Dan Mora gathers a fantastic array of characters who have appeared in this series and its equally engaging spin-offs over the past few years to invite us inside. And behind the cover are two stories that aren’t trying to do anything other than entertain, and in that they succeed […]
