Justice League Unlimited #3 review

And this is what we call firing on all cylinders! Last issue the new super-Justice League foiled a plot by leftover Darkseid parademons but learned there’s another threat to Earth – a mystery organisation going by Inferno. This time, we join the heroes a week later, as they tackle a threat to Earth’s very ecosystem. […]

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. The war with the forces of rogue United Planets President Thaaros had been won, the world of Oa is being rebuilt and there’s time for Hal Jordan to enjoy a sandwich. Now there’s a thought […]

Titans #19 review

Trying to summon a boom tube to reach the Justice League Unlimited Watchtower, Caitlin Snow is pleased by a rare display of Big Apple manners. Over the next few days, she’s feeling on the outs among socialising superheroes. Some super-folk who aren’t all in with the new League set-up are the Titans, who are eschewing […]

Batman and Robin #17 review

We’re deep into the ‘Memento’ serial and things are hotting up. At Arkham Tower to question Scarecrow Jonathan Crane about a legendary plant which may be connected to what he believes is a copycat killer homaging long-ago crimes, Batman has been caught up in a riot. Robin isn’t at his side because Damian is volunteering […]

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 […]

JSA #3 review

Hawkman died last issue. Don’t worry, it’s kind of his thing. Usually he reincarnates immediately, but this time he’s been dragged down to Hell. Dragged down by demons with familiar names. In the Earth realm, meanwhile, Justice Society of America leader Jade is given some comfort as she ponders the whereabouts of Hawkman and other […]

Justice League: The Atom Project #1 review

There’s a guy on a train, furtively moving forward as air force personnel question transport staff about someone they’re looking for. As they get close, he takes drastic action. Escape doesn’t look to be on the cards today, though. Flashback to three weeks earlier, when Ray and fellow Atom Ryan Choi were catching up with […]

Metamorpho #1 review

DC’s fabulous freak, the original element man, is back, and he’s not alone. Old friends, new enemies and one of the more obscure heroes from the DC Universe are here too. The action takes place in Jump City, new location for Stagg Industries, where a masked figure prowls the corridors. Seconds later, the intruder meets […]

Green Lantern/Green Arrow: World’s Finest Special #1 review

Hal Jordan and Ollie Queen are the hard-travelin’ heroes driving around the United States, ‘finding America’. What they find here is the super-villain Deathstroke, trying to impress a secret organisation by killing Green Lantern and Green Arrow. Of course, putting two veteran Justice Leaguers in the ground isn’t as easy as surprising them with a […]

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 […]
