Truth & Justice #1 and #2 review

A new DC Digital First series always gets my attention, I love these cheap weekly treats. And this one stars Vixen, one of the best heroes out there. While other characters have been horribly mischaracterised over the years >cough Supergirl cough< Mari McCabe has always been well-treated. From her first spotlight in Justice League of […]

Challenge of the Super Sons #1 review

Have you ever not bothered asking for something for Christmas because you thought there was no chance of getting it? With Jon Kent now a late teenager and off in the 31st century in the Legion of Super-Heroes series, and Damian Wayne more of a loose cannon than ever over in Teen Titans, I thought […]

Batman: Gotham Nights #22 review

As we all know, Santa can be everywhere at once, meaning all the world’s children get their presents on Christmas morning. Batman could do with the same ability when a toy coveted by all Gotham’s children turns deadly. Meet Benny, ‘The Hot Toy This Christmas’. The obvious thing to do is warn the citizens, get […]

Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace #17 review

As opening pages go, this latest DC Digital First comic has quite the grabber. Diana has been tasked with protecting the teenage daughter of an ARGUS agent after a hit was put out on her. Effie Ying is 16, smart and almost inevitably annoying. Still, she doesn’t deserve a visit from these guys. ‘The Bodyguard’ […]

Superman: Man of Tomorrow #19 review

Superman and Batman are alone in the Justice League watchtower, having a post-battle debrief. The Man of Steel is disappointed by Batman’s tendency to go it alone mid-mission. The conversation is nipped in the bud as a group of evil Batmen and Supermen emerge from the multiverse… the ‘World’s Vilest’. With Batman and Superman at […]

Superman: Man of Tomorrow #16 review

Clark Kent doesn’t need a lot of sleep but when it’s been a week without sweet dreams, he’s feeling the strain. Taking a morning off to clear his head, Clark doesn’t need his super-senses to pick up on a frighteningly familiar burst of air and crack in reality. BOOM. Darkseid, ruler of Apokolips, has come […]

Wonder Woman #762 review

The people of Washington DC are having dangerous hallucinations. Crazed by visions, individuals are attacking others, driving moving vehicles into crowds and more. The only people preventing complete chaos is Wonder Woman… and Max Lord? The heroine’s former enemy has been using his mental ‘push’ power to make victims stop seeing the lies they’re being […]

Superman: Man of Tomorrow #12 review

The Doom Patrol have just finished their latest series, subtitled Weight of the Worlds. There was a bit of planet hopping in there, but I’m not really sure why it was called that. This issue of DC’s weekly online Man of Steel book could much more legitimately have used the title. Now there’s a super-feat. […]

Superman: Man of Tomorrow #11 review

After several issues of short tales by different writers, Robert Venditti, whose stories with penciller Paul Pelletier lit up the first six issues of this DC Digital First series, is back for what looks to be another several-issue sequence. Well, that’s what the final page indicates; the previous 15 give us a complete story that […]

Ghosts #1 review

The nights are drawing in – hey, it’s nearly July! – so the latest DC Digital First offering is just the ticket, reviving a long-running mystery book with a tale tailored to today’s tastes. For rather than an anthology of shorts, Ghosts gives us a single story of the Spectre, the super-spook created by Jerry […]
