Green Lantern #22 review

Look at writer Jeremy Adams breaking the rules. First of all we have the big confrontation with classic Green Lantern annoyance Hector Hammond… … ending five pages into the issue. Then we have the return of a long-gone superhero with not a hint of it on the cover. You know, Dan Garrett, the first… Oi! […]

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 […]

Action Comics #1085 review

Superman helps climate crisis scientists defend their research from sabotage, cybernetically enhanced polar bears and retro robots – and behind the scenes, there’s a classic supervillain.

Plus, one Global Guardian. Doubting […]

Aquaman #3 review

The past. Young Arthur Curry and his father are looking out on a storm. The raging tempest blows the beacon, putting sailors’ lives in danger – but perhaps father and son can work together to bodge a solution… …. in the present day, the adult Arthur could do with a beacon to help him find […]

Aquaman #2 review

Transported to a strange realm, Aquaman finds himself facing, as is his wont, a massive monster. Arthur’s new hydrokinesis power, though, allows him to make short work of the beast and its wranglers, and off he goes to find the mistress of the gruesome Grindylows. Her control over vegetation allows Jenny Greenteeth to drag Aquaman […]
