Action Comics #1069 review

It’s the conclusion of Superman’s intergalactic boxing bout… well, boxing is understating it as punches are thrown, but so is an axe. The point is that the Man of Steel is being forced to fight other extraterrestrials, but ones with a more brutal attitude to puglisim. Luckily he has two official seconds… and an unofficial, […]

Teen Titans: Beast World #6 review

After a couple of months of comics in which a plague of Starro spores have been proving a massive threat to everyone on Earth, the Titans save the day with surprising ease. Nightwing has an idea to undermine Amanda Waller’s plan to kill a million humans who have been transformed into beasts – cure them […]

Titans: Beast World #5 review

A million beast men are raging across the world. The Titans want to save them. Amanda Waller, who finally steps out the shadows and onto global TV screens, has other ideas. Among the viewers are the Titans, minus Beast Boy, seemingly killed by human black hole Chunk – tossed at him by Waller, who claims […]

Titans: Beast World #4 review

The world is being overrun by crazed animal people, transformed by little Starros made from a super-sized Beast Boy. The heroes are doing what they can, and so are the villains. Well, some of them, anyway. It’s Giganta, longtime enemy of Wonder Woman and occasional girlfriend of all-new Atom Ryan Choi. Ryan’s not in this […]

Dark Crisis #3 review

The latest version of the Justice League is dead and despair is everywhere. The heroes who might take up the League’s mantle are having a wallow. The heroes who want to take up the slack are being condemned by their self-appointed leader. That’s Black Adam speaking. He reckons the good guys need to show the […]

Batman/Superman #22 review

It’s the last issue of this series, and talk about going out with a bang! After the massively enjoyable serial that recently ended, writer Gene Luen Yang scripts a one-issue wonder to further remind us just what a great writer he is. This is a high concept issue, one which begins with bad guy Calendar […]

Batman/Superman #16 review

Ever read a regular issue of a comic and wish it were in prestige format? That’s how this comic has me feeling, as new writer Gene Luen Yang, artists Ivan Reis and Danny Miki and colleagues produce something very special. The story nods to the 1940s big screen versions of Superman, Batman and Robin, with […]

Superman #28 review

Superman has followed the Synmar Utopica to his homeworld. The stranger wants the Man of Steel there because… … I really have no idea. It’s four months since the world of Synmar was introduced, a planet whose people are the Synmar, and whose champion is the aforementioned Synmar Utopica. The people jabber on in oddly […]

Superman #27 review

In the Phantom Zone, Superman faces an unknown foe. The extraterrestrial appeared in Metropolis and attacked, putting thousands of lives at risk. With the aid of Fortress of Solitude major domo Kelex, the Man of Steel moved the battle to the other-dimensional prison. Of course, you’re rarely alone in the zone. Punching Xa-Du gives Superman […]
