Action Comics #1083 review

Clark Kent continues his investigation into why reformed criminal Major Disaster gave up on being a good guy, landing himself in prison and a bystander in the ground. Clark’s questioning of Major Disaster’s associates Scorch and the Mighty Bruce landed him in a recovery room in the Batcave after he’s beaten up by someone he […]

Green Lantern Corps #1 review

The Green Lantern Corps is back. They’re not at full strength yet, but there are enough of them to protect children from space slavers. A dozen Lanterns soon have longtime JLA bad guy Kanjar Ro and his gang under arrest, so it’s back to the space precinct on Oa. Running the show is Jessica Cruz, […]

Green Lantern #19 review

One of my favourite things in superhero comics is the Day in the Life issue, and that’s exactly what we have here – Hal Jordan and friends hanging out as they prepare for their next big battle. First, we check in with Star Sapphire Carol Ferris, loving her new membership in Justice League Unlimited, even […]

Superman: Lex Luthor Special #1 review

Lex Luthor is dead. Well, the man he was is gone, anyway. The criminal scientist recently had an encounter with Brainiac, and his criminal inclinations look to have vanished along with many of his memories. Daughter Lena wants to help her Dad get back to where he was, a genius with the potential for good […]

Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum #1 review

Peace has broken out in the DC Universe. Well, the outer space bit that concerns the Green Lantern Corps, anyway.

It’s a lovely day in Metropolis… until huge boulders begin shooting through the streets and the ground cracks open. Police Chief Kekoa and colleague are saved by Superman, who then catches up with the metahuman behind the devastation – but not before finding a civilian has died under a building. There’s no resistance as Superman […]

Aquaman #1 review

‘Aquaman #1 review’ Gosh, I feel like I’ve typed that line a fair few times over the years – the King of the Seas just can’t keep a series. On the other hand, he’s had a couple of blockbuster big screen outings that have ensured he’s never been far from the centre of the DC […]

Action Comics #1081 review

The Phantom King, Xa-Du, has returned from exile in time to rally the Phantom Zone escapees who have been causing havoc across the galaxy. The Super Family are primed to hunt them down, even Mon-El, despite the temporary solution around his fatal vulnerability to lead being less effective with every minute that passes. The Daxamite […]

Action Comics #1080 review

The Phantom Zone criminals who attacked Earth have been defeated, but others have spread out into the universe. And they’re the worst of the worst. The likes of Jax-Ur, whose illegal experiments with rocket ships saw space travel outlawed, leading to one escape route from exploding Krypton being fenced off. Sadistic man-hater Faora Hu-Ul. And […]

Action Comics #1079 review

How often do you read a superhero comic and find the hero facing the biggest of threats but failing to call in help. Not so here, as not only do the resident members of the Super Family step up when the Phantom Zone prisoners escape into our solar system, but the Justice League are on […]
