Justice League Unlimited #9 review

Time is out of joint. Which may be why this smart cover from series artist Dan Mora belongs on Justice League Unlimited’s next issue. At least that’s my theory, as, while we get the two trios shown in this chapter of the ongoing story, they don’t meet up. Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman appear only […]

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, […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #40 review

I’m just an old-fashioned boy and I love an old-fashioned superhero romp. And that’s just what we get in the latest between-big-storylines issue of World’s Finest. Gotham Police Commissioner Jim Gordon is in Metropolis for a chat show appearance, and he’s nervous. But help is at hand. There to support his friend, Bruce Wayne’s attention […]

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 […]

Supergirl #1 review

It’s just another day for Supergirl. In Metropolis, the Maid of Might has a whale of a time seeing off an over-ambitious bad girl. And in the bottle city of Kandor, a rescued young woman gets all starry eyed. The furry pink fella being carried in Kara’s expandable cape is Lar-On, like Kara an Argo […]

Superman #25 review

A brilliant issue. Buy it. Too pithy? OK then, it’s the 25th issue of Joshua Williamson’s Superman series and it’s the culmination of pretty much all the ongoing plotlines. You may remember that last issue we learned that Lex Luthor’s Girlfriend, Mercy Graves, wasn’t too happy with the kinder, softer scientist of recent months. So […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #38 review

A few years ago, Clark (Superman) Kent is alongside Bruce (Batman) Wayne, reporting on the latest Waynetech jet as piloted by Hal (Green Lantern) Jordan. Above Africa, though, the plane runs into trouble, and Hal vanishes. Literally. Soon his abductor makes himself known. Superman and Batman call in fellow Justice Leaguer Barry Allen, the Flash, […]

Summer of Superman Special #1 review

It’s been a while since the Superman books had a refresh, but with the new movie coming in July, DC has decided to not only spruce up Action Comics and Superman, but add a third monthly title, Superman Unlimited. And to launch the initiative, here’s a one-off story written by continuing Superman writer Joshua Williamson, […]

Justice League Unlimited #5 review

A handful of Justice Leaguers have been assigned to protect world leaders at the G20 summit in Sydney. A high-profile event such as this is just the sort of place super-terror group Inferno would strike. The heroes on call are Star Sapphire, Green Lantern, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Flash and Impulse. Plus, one Global Guardian. Doubting […]

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 […]
