Jay Garrick: The Flash #4 review

STAR Labs has been a part of DC Comics lore for a long time. I remember its introduction way back in the Seventies’ Superman #246 as a Metropolis scientific research facility.

Jay Garrick: The Flash #3 review

In the 1940s, Jay Garrick and his Justice Society colleagues find out what super (mad) scientist Dr Elemental can do.

The New Golden Age #1 review

Well, this made me happy. A romp through the DC Universe beginning with the first meeting of the Justice Society of America… … and ending with a 31st-Century version of the team. In between we see vignettes from the Fifties, Seventies, ‘13 years from now’ and ‘18 years from now’. Linking the various time periods […]

But Jackson does have a mission – step up while Arthur takes care of business elsewhere. Back on land, Jackson is meeting […]
