Legion of Super-Heroes #1 review

A thousand years from today and detective duo Brainiac 1 of 5 and Tenzil Ken have arrived at a murder scene. They’ve not been hired to learn who killed power broker RJ Brande, but Brainiac is intrigued. He uses his talents to tap into secret Science Police channels. Across the galaxy, on the world of […]

Superman #41 review

It’s the middle of the Kingdom of Zod but don’t expect the usual water treading here. As Superman battles General Zod in the Kryptonite Kingdom, a prediction made by the Time Trapper a while back comes true. So unnecessary. Superman had appealed to the Phantom Zone criminal to resume their uneasy truce. After Superman is […]

Justice League: Knight Vision Special #1 review

After the DC KO tournament ended, heroes and villains alike had visions of things they felt they had to do to prepare for the next big battle with Darkseid. Only Batman and probationary member Lex Luthor were denied a sneak peek at the future – until recently. And now they find themselves hunting the man […]

Superman Annual: Year One Thousand #1

The Omega Crown will never cease to be silly, yet Superman looks amazing on this cover courtesy of illustrator Eddy Barrows and colourist Alejandro Sánchez. The image is a fair play representation of what’s inside the issue, before Superman’s return to his own time, something we saw in last week’s Action Comics. What happens after […]

Action Comics #1100 review

Now that’s a cover worthy of an anniversary issue, so thanks to Ryan Sook for getting Action Comics #1100 off to a super start. Just look at those Supermen of different eras – there’s no New 52 fella, what a shame – and details such as the Lexcorp-sponsored racing car and visual pun of the […]

Superman #40 review

The ghost of Manchester Black has gained enough physicality to go toe-to-toe with Superboy Prime. But if he’s going to force the wannabe Superman to do what he wishes – use his reality altering power to reshape the world to his ends – he’s going to have to use his mental powers to sap Prime’s […]

Superman #39 review

Judge this book by Dan Mora’s stupendous cover and just buy it, OK. Because yes, this comic does feature Superboy Prime trapped in a landscape of different genres and it is ridiculously entertaining. It’s not Prime – he prefers to be called CK these days – using his reality punching power to explore, though; he’s […]

Superman #38 review

After a long day working at the comics shop in his secret identity of CK, Superboy answers a cry for help. Super-costume on, he lays into the refugees from Universal studios – and Marvel Comics, in Dracula’s case – but finds he’s been played. The ‘victim’ had set a trap for him. Declaring herself to […]

Superman #37 review

Just imagine you suddenly found yourself a superhero in the DC Universe, what would you do? Knuckle down in the day-to-day while waiting for the inevitable supervillain to show up? Or tour the weird and wonderful sites the comic book world has to offer. The latter, obviously, which is exactly how Superboy Prime prefers to […]

Superman #36 review

Superboy Prime is ready for his close-up. With Superman off somewhere in the wake of DC KO, he’s ready to hold the fort in Metropolis. The lifelong comics fan has interacted with his heroes in the Earth 0 realm several times and made a right pig’s ear of it – think insults and mass murder. […]
