Green Lantern #32 review

Gorgeous, that’s what Xermanico’s cover illustration is, and it’s the perfect image for the month of St Valentine. It looks like our star, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, is going to propose to his longtime on-off lady love, Carol Ferris. Formerly a fierce businesswoman, these days Carol is spending her time as a member of Justice […]

Superman Unlimited #10 review

What a wonderful cover by Dave Johnson – maybe one day we’ll see a story that goes with it. The nearest we get inside is a trapped Superman, and a bucket of acid aimed at the Prankster. Read the comic and you’ll find out which Prankster because, as seen last month, Metropolis is now home […]

Supergirl #10 review

Oh, this is a super-soppy cover, with artist Sophie Campbell really leaning into nostalgia for the Seventies Supergirl series, which was treated as a romance series and was cancelled after >ulp< ten issues. Inside, Linda (Supergirl) Danvers really is a lovesick fool, but there’s a reason. We join her on a date with the chap […]

DC KO: The Kids Are All Fight Special #1 review

The latest DC KO spin-off begins in the Justice League’s moonbase, where Titans Donna Troy, Arsenal and Superboy Jon Kent have been supervising the evacuation of Earth, which is being transformed into a second Apokolips. Job done, Jon wants to fly to the planet to see if there’s anything left to do, but Donna demurs, […]

Superman Unlimited #9 review

There’s a new killer in town, and they’re ‘aving a larf You likely recognise WGBS sportscaster Steve Lombard, but the redhead, that’s Vicki Vale visiting from Gotham City, swapping stories over a drink with fellow hacks. ‘Jack’ is Jack Ryder, secretly the Creeper, while also there is Clark Kent, and he is not amused. The […]

Aquaman #13 review

When is a DC KO tie-in not a DC KO tie-in? When it’s Aquaman #13… and a very lucky #13 it is too, being a thoroughly engaging, great looking story which has very little to do with the ongoing event series. What there is comes mainly in the first few pages, which tie in with […]

Green Lantern #30 review

In a shocking move, DC publishes a superhero book with no reference to DC KO. Hurrah! Hal Jordan travels to Gotham to see if Batman can help solve the mystery of the painful visions he’s been having. The investigation is put on hold when Batman is alerted to trouble in the city, and Hal decides […]

Superman Unlimited #8 review

Lois Lane is going into space on billionaire Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin rocket… sorry, billionaire Sebastian Stagg’s Starliner. “The ‘man’ that built this rocket’ is indeed an unusual chap. It looks like Simon Stagg’s son is sneaking aliens onto the spaceship, and they’re not the only extraterrestrials taking an interest. No, not him, this lot. […]

Aquaman #12: Aquaman vs Hawkman review

Well I never, it’s two comics for the price of one. Actually, no, it’s two titles for the one comic, which is a bit confusing. After all, last week’s Superman Vs Captain Atom was its own thing, not an issue of Superman. Well, its own thing apart from the fact it’s a spin-off from the […]

DC KO: Superman vs Captain Atom #1 review

A pretty brutal fight, that’s what this cover by Jorge Corona and Sarah Stern shows. The colouring is heated, the rendering of the figures scrappy. It’s perfect. Inside, the art is generally smoother, Sean Izaakse’s style is at times as glossy as Captain Atom’s skin. But when the visuals are in fight mode, it’s intense. […]
