That’s a pretty great cover illo from Leonardo Romero, it’s a shame we don’t actually have any members of the Justice Society of America on it. Ah, connected covers, what can you do? Does anyone actually sit down with all the issues and stare joyously at the big picture? I tend to like them only […]

Justice League Unlimited #10 review

The Time Trapper, nee Doomsday, is attacked in Hypertime by Darkseid’s Legion of Super-Heroes. Mortally wounded, he manages to get back to the Justice League Watchtower, where the heroes on hand try to help him. Some kind of auto-defence system won’t let the Flash, Steel. Black Lightning, Blue Beetle and Star Sapphire get near without […]

Superman #29 review

Now here’s a cover guaranteed to put this comic at the top of my reading pile – a devastated Superman mourning the loss of his old friends in the Legion of Super-Heroes. Artist Dan Mora has come up with the perfect tombstone for what looks like a headless Superman to stare at. Speaking of headless, […]

Supergirl #4 review

Lesla-Lar, the Supergirl fan who tried to steal Supergirl’s life, is back home in Kandor, facing a court… presided over by her parents, which seems a bit of a conflict of interest. By her side is Kara, also accused of bad behaviour. Supergirl has another suggestion – she believes Lesla has the makings of a […]

JSA #10 review

Even without the red spectacles, this is an eye-catching cover from Leonardo Romero. A couple of issues back the new Kid Eternity, who can’t remember who she was while alive, was confronted by the ghosts of Justice Society members. It made for a cracking cliffhanger- what did they want with her? But last month neither […]
