Batgirl #47 review

Barbara Gordon wants nothing more than a quiet night in on her own. A moment of calm gives her a chance to reassess her priorities. A peaceful few hours? Good luck with that. The Joker. The monster who crippled her years previously, ending her career as Batgirl. Thing is, though, Barbara Gordon didn’t fold after […]

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 […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #6 review

In which all heck breaks loose. Seriously, this issue starts with the evacuation of New Earth and only gets bigger. The inciting incident is the nearness of unfriendly extraterrestrials the Horraz. Active Legionnaires are split between helping the people get to safety via teleport rigs, and defending against the oncoming aliens. The big fight sees […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #5 review

The 31st century’s greatest super teens are in a proper pickle, their headquarters stormed by a Science Police squad. They’re there on the orders of United Planets President RJ Brande, which confuses Superboy Jon Kent, as he’s just learned that the Legion of Super-Heroes was her idea in the first place. Happily, Brainiac 5 manages […]

John Constantine: Hellblazer #4 review

Back in the UK after years away, John decides it’s time to get back to basics. And that means looking good – yes, the old trenchcoat stays, but underneath, a natty new suit, pocket hankie optional. Sadly, the smart look lasts about as long as it takes him to step outside his new flat. ‘Fan’ […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #3 review

When something great happens it’s natural to want to share it with your best pal. And Jon Kent is really enjoying his new gig as a member of the 31st century Legion of Super-Heroes, so why not bring Damian Wayne forward in time? Sure, he’s not been invited to join the team, but what harm […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #2 review

Superboy’s first day at ‘future college’ is proving eventful. Legionnaire Ultra Boy has grabbed the legendary trident of Aquaman from Planet Gotham to stop it falling into the hands of either the villainous Mordru, or his own father, a powerful man on the world of Rimbor obsessed with tracking down fabled objects of power. Ultra […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #1 review

It’s Jon Kent’s first day in the 31st century with the Legion of Super-Heroes and he’s having his mind blown. Across the galaxy, things have kicked off on Planet Gotham. And soon, Legion headquarters has some very unwelcome visitors… Yes, that’s probably the most sparse issue recap I’ve ever done, but it’s been six years […]

Legion of Super-Heroes: Millennium #2

And then… In a thoroughly civilised future, the immortal Rose Forrest is visiting the Space Museum, looking at displays reflecting the long-ago 21st century which spawned her. One of the facility’s janitors strikes up a conversation. He seems a nice guy, but when he starts offering to take her back to the past in a […]
