The Flash #750 review

Action Comics #1000, Detective Comics #1000, Wonder Woman #750… all recent 80-page giant celebrations courtesy of the marvel that is comic book maths. Now it’s the Flash’s turn and at last, an issue I can heartily recommend – six stories ranging from decent to superb, gorgeous pin-ups and, running though it all, a love for […]

Batman/Superman #7 review

General Zod is mourning the Bottle City of Kandor, the last remnant of Krypton’s civilisation, recently smashed to smithereens by the extraterrestrial monster Rogol Zaar. In the Wake of the Batman Who Laughs affair, the World’s Finest heroes are testing a computer algorithm that helps them ‘evaluate potential threats’. Their new project leads them to […]

Dan DiDio leaves DC

Well, that was a surprise. Last night the news came that Dan DiDio was no longer DC co-publisher. Bleeding Cool is reporting that he was fired for ‘fostering a poor work environment’. Which sounds awful, I’ve worked in places where just one manager could turn the air toxic. It also sounds like a contrived accusation […]

Wonder Twins #12 review

Wonder Twin Powers… de-activate! It’s the final issue of the wonderful series from Wonder Comics starring the Wonder Twins. Actually, it’s the second final issue, as the book was originally a six-part mini that was so well received, so soon, that it was quickly recommissioned for a second batch, with only a month or so […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #4 review

It’s the 31st Century, Superboy Jon Kent has joined the Legion of Super-Heroes and it’s time to learn how the team was founded. His guide? The AI known as Computo. First, background on the founders, beginning with Imra Ardeen, a young woman on the moon of Saturn, Titan, where mental powers are the norm. Then, […]

Lois Lane #8 review

There’s a fun moment in the latest instalment of this Question mini-series when guest star Lois Lane tells us who she once found cooler than Superman. Oh all right, I know it’s Lois’s name on the cover, and her face looking out at us slyly, but as I’ve said previously, writer Greg Rucka seems far […]

Justice League #40 review

A rocket ship crash lands in a field in the rural United States. It’s not a Kryptonian baby, though, it’s a strange visitor from the planet Daxam – Sodam Yat. The former Green Lantern is here to warn the world of a threat. According to Yat, the Eradicator’s forces don’t have the traditional Daxamite weakness […]

Suicide Squad #2 review

Amanda Waller is gone. She’s ceded her job as Task Force X supremo to the mysterious Lok. And where it used to be that missions were voluntary – a super convict agrees to be a covert op for the US in return for remission – there are new rules. It doesn’t actually sound like a […]

Superman #19 review

It’s the day after Superman shared his secret identity with the world. The insurance company is planning to increase the Daily Planet’s premium, predicting that in no short order hordes of villains will attack Superman’s friends. Superman’s friends aren’t so worried. Unsurprisingly, though, editor Perry White feels forced to fire Clark Kent. Surprisingly, after musings […]

Wonder Woman #750 review

It’s Wonder Woman #750! Hang on, you never saw #749? That’s because there wasn’t one, this is the Amazing Amazon’s series returning to its ‘legacy’ numbering… add the various runs together and, apparently, this is the figure we hit. The same thing happened with #600, then another #1 came along, and it’ll likely happen again […]
