Aquaman #18 review

Oh dear me, that’s a pretty poor cover given the talent of John Timms. Aquaman and Green Lantern look like butterbeans with wigs on. Hair and chin in Hal Jordan’s case – did Timms think it was going to be Alan Scott guest starring in this issue? Turn the page and we find that Aquaman […]

Emperor Aquaman #15 review

Nothing says Space Aquaman like our hero riding not a whale, or a seahorse, but a Starro. Behind him on John Timms’s nicely designed, executed and coloured cover we see regular supporting cast members Lori Lemaris and Titanus. Inside, there’s no sign of these two but presumably they’ll show up soon. Instead we have the […]

Green Lantern #32 review

Gorgeous, that’s what Xermanico’s cover illustration is, and it’s the perfect image for the month of St Valentine. It looks like our star, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, is going to propose to his longtime on-off lady love, Carol Ferris. Formerly a fierce businesswoman, these days Carol is spending her time as a member of Justice […]

DC KO: Boss Battle #1 review

When this comic was announced a few months ago, ‘intrigued’ didn’t cover it. DC Universe big names vs a whole bunch of characters from elsewhere in the Warners portfolio and other comic publishers? All in one comic book? Could the creative team pull off a coherent story? Yes readers, yes they can. This book is […]

DC KO: The Kids Are All Fight Special #1 review

The latest DC KO spin-off begins in the Justice League’s moonbase, where Titans Donna Troy, Arsenal and Superboy Jon Kent have been supervising the evacuation of Earth, which is being transformed into a second Apokolips. Job done, Jon wants to fly to the planet to see if there’s anything left to do, but Donna demurs, […]

Green Lantern: Galactic Slam #1 review

That’s a pretty dramatic cover from Cian Tormey and Romulo Fajardo Jr, and the stakes are high in this DC KO tie-in featuring Green Lantern Kyle Rayner, but the actual story is soufflé light. And I’m very much not complaining. The issue opens with Kyle, Superboy Kon-El and bounty hunter pal Odyssey fighting Darkseid’s parademons […]

Aquaman #13 review

When is a DC KO tie-in not a DC KO tie-in? When it’s Aquaman #13… and a very lucky #13 it is too, being a thoroughly engaging, great looking story which has very little to do with the ongoing event series. What there is comes mainly in the first few pages, which tie in with […]

Green Lantern #30 review

In a shocking move, DC publishes a superhero book with no reference to DC KO. Hurrah! Hal Jordan travels to Gotham to see if Batman can help solve the mystery of the painful visions he’s been having. The investigation is put on hold when Batman is alerted to trouble in the city, and Hal decides […]

Superman Unlimited #8 review

Lois Lane is going into space on billionaire Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin rocket… sorry, billionaire Sebastian Stagg’s Starliner. “The ‘man’ that built this rocket’ is indeed an unusual chap. It looks like Simon Stagg’s son is sneaking aliens onto the spaceship, and they’re not the only extraterrestrials taking an interest. No, not him, this lot. […]

Aquaman #12: Aquaman vs Hawkman review

Well I never, it’s two comics for the price of one. Actually, no, it’s two titles for the one comic, which is a bit confusing. After all, last week’s Superman Vs Captain Atom was its own thing, not an issue of Superman. Well, its own thing apart from the fact it’s a spin-off from the […]
