The Batman and Scooby-Doo Mysteries #10 review

On the one hairy hand, this issue’s cover gives away the identity of the furry fellow attacking attractions in Florida. On the other, that ‘Shaggy, man’ gag is just so good, and Dario Brizuela’s illustration, coloured by Franco Riesco, will surely shift some copies. And anyway, the reveal of the old Justice League threat isn’t […]

World of Krypton #2 review

After an assassination attempt on Jor-El, Zor-El and baby Kara Zor-El, black sheep of the family Kru-El is put on trial. New Head of Planetary Security Dru-Zod – he won the role by saving the Els – wants to come down heavy on Kru, who hoped to wipe out his cousins so he’d be head […]

One-Star Squadron #2 review

Minute Man isn’t a big name among superheroes. A legacy hero, he depends upon the Miraclo drug created by Rex Mason for his vigour, but unlike the original Hourman he doesn’t get 60 minutes of strength – the clue’s in the name. A minute of super powers isn’t going to get you into the Justice […]

Justice League Incarnate #3 review

Finally, after more than a decade of nonsense, Donna Troy gets the moment she deserves. Sure it’s not main-universe Donna Troy, but what does that even mean when continuity shifts every couple of years? The last Crisis event, Death Metal, ended with an infinite collection of multiverses in play. The Donna we’re seeing most regularly […]

Superman: Son of Kal-El #6 review

A rare medical condition afflicts some people with ‘face blindness’, an inability to recognise folk from one meeting to the next. This might explain why Lois Lane couldn’t connect the dots between Clark Kent and Superman when he took his glasses off and changed clothes. It turns out things are worse than that for Lois… […]

The Flash #777 review

Our hero, Wally West, finds himself on an unexpected mission with the Justice League. It’s not the garden variety JL, though, it’s offshoot Justice League Dark, the specialist magic unit who hang out in the Hall of Justice basement. Right now, though, they’re on the home planet of member Amethyst, the Gemworld. And one of […]

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #6 review

After a rather large diversion due to a magical Mordru globe, Supergirl and space ward Ruthye catch up to Krem, who killed the latter’s father. Krem has another globe, and he sics it on Kara… but it has to catch her first. And Kara has called in the cavalry. As Maid of Might and Steed […]

‘Tis the Season to be Freezin’ #1 review

Remember those DC Holiday ‘grab bags’ which gave us lots of Christmas stories, the odd Chanukah tale and general winter fun? This isn’t that. ‘Tis the Season to be Freezin’ #1 is the comic that came in from the cold. Christmas gets the odd mention, but like that Nuclear Winter giant of a couple of […]

One-Star Squadron #1 review

If you’re Superman, you get to save the universe every other week. If you’re Minute Man, you get… ‘Who?’ Red Tornado is running the Metropolis branch of Heroz4U, a hero hotline which puts low-powered metahumans in touch with people who need help. The thing is, Reddy was a longtime Justice League member, what’s he doing […]

Justice League Incarnate #1 review

Spinning out of the recent Infinite Frontier series, the multiversal Justice League get the spotlight as they bid to foil the latest plot by the latest Darkseid. It turns out the master of Apokolips hasn’t been himself for a while, but he’s back and bigger than ever, having absorbed lesser versions, or something. I know […]
