Blue Beetle #7 review

The cover promises fun, and by gum, that’s what we get inside as Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes and Booster Gold go on a quest to help Blue Beetle Ted Kord get himself together. Literally. It’s an old school quest, the kind of thing the Justice League would occupy themselves with every other month in the […]

The Flash #6 review

Life’s been pretty trippy for Wally West since his comic book restarted. Central City is awash with weird cosmic beings. His powers are taking him ever weirder places. And he’s feeling out of touch with his family. And it’s Wally’s wife Linda who we’re with emotionally in the sixth chapter of Simon Spurrier and Mike […]

Jay Garrick: The Flash #5 review

We start with The Flash and The Boom under attack by a STAR Labs secretary who has shown her true colours. And they’re shiny. Learning that it’s offspring Judy who robot controller Dr Elemental really wants to get his hands on, Jay decides a father-daughter trip is called for. And it involves seeing his own […]

Green Arrow #9 review

It’s moving day at the Hall of Justice. Or rather, the Bureau of Sovereignty, renamed after Amanda Waller took it over on behalf of the US government. She’s cleaning it out of all Justice League gadgets, weapons and souvenirs; where they’re going and why, nobody knows, certainly not chief lackey Peacemaker. Now, who’s that crazy? […]

Titans #8 review

Everybody hates the Titans. They’ve just saved the world from the Beast Boy plague, which came about because Gar Logan saved the universe, but Sarge Steel of Amanda Waller’s Unamerican-sounding Bureau of Sovereignty is piling on the good guys. Maybe a new toy will cheer the Titans up. Also, it’s windy down south. And when […]

DC’s How To Lose a Guy Gardner in 10 Days #1 review

We’re coming up to St Valentine’s Day so it’s time for another seasonal DC anthology. I review a lot of these but don’t get many comments – with the page count being 80-100pp, it’s probably the price points that put people off. But now, for DC Infinite Ultra subscribers, there’s no excuse as the giants […]

Fire and Ice: Welcome to Smallville #6 review

In which Tora and Bea, Fire and Ice, find Smallville menaced by two very powerful, very scary supervillains. Can they wrangle the various D-list villains they’ve brought to Superman’s hometown to help them save people and property? Meanwhile Crave, a creature who can twist minds so that ordinary people turn cannibal, is menacing Martha Kent […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest 2024 Annual review

I’ve been looking forward to this one since it was announced – a bunch of World’s Finest-adjacent characters in their own stories. First we have Mr Mxyzptlk, Bat-Mite and their Just-Us League of Imps meeting at the Fifth Dimensional Hall of Just-Us. Mxy has an agenda to discuss but no one is listening. I just […]

The Flash #5 review

Jai West is having a bad day. He’s had a fair few lately, his Speed Force connection to his father sending uncomfortable vibes his way. And he’s started manifesting a little man from his body. Then someone full-sized appears by Jai’s side. Meet Inspector Pilgrim. The mushroom-topped mystery man gives Jai the lowdown on his […]

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 […]
