Action Comics #1064 review

Oh, now this is great! Not enough review for you? OK, a few details. It’s Saturday in Metropolis, Lois is having a rare day off and she has yoga on her mind. Yep, Superman is on patrol but soon he’s on the scene as Clark, the epitome of Hot Dork. He’s ready to show off […]

Green Arrow #10 review

Green Arrow has agreed to help Amanda Waller retrieve the secrets of Sanctuary, the disastrous superhero therapy centre which aimed to help Heroes in Crisis. Waller being a homicidal megalomaniac these days, Ollie’s not exactly in her corner, he aims to rescue the last hero she recruited/coerced into going into sanctuary – Ollie’s ward Roy, […]

Superman #12 review

Holy role reversal, Luthor takes to the streets of Metropolis in his power suit to save the citizens while Superman dons a nifty lab suit to attack their problems from another direction. Their problems are Dr Pharm, a cloud of green kryptonite tweaked to kill regular human beings and Lex’s mad mother Leticia. The first […]

Green Arrow #9 review

It’s moving day at the Hall of Justice. Or rather, the Bureau of Sovereignty, renamed after Amanda Waller took it over on behalf of the US government. She’s cleaning it out of all Justice League gadgets, weapons and souvenirs; where they’re going and why, nobody knows, certainly not chief lackey Peacemaker. Now, who’s that crazy? […]

Superman #11 review

‘Lena Luthor vs the Revenge Squad’ is what last issue’s next issue blurb told us to expect this month. That’s the Lex Luthor Revenge Squad, not the Superman Revenge Squad as tradition would dictate. As it is, we don’t see Lex’s long-lost daughter take on Dr Pharm, Mr Graft and their not-so-merry band of rogues, […]

Superman #10 review

Yee-haw! Or maybe Yee-FWOAR! Who knew Superman would suit cowboy cosplay so well? Our hero is as smokin’ as the barrel of a Colt 45 on Jamal Campbell’s instant classic cover. And that’s a brilliant tagline, too! But can the interiors live up to this image? Yes they can. Writer Joshua Williamson and artists Bruno […]

Superman #9 review

Superman is sick, poisoned by green kryptonite in the latest twist in the vendetta against Lex Luthor by Dr Pharm and Mr Graft. Lois Lane sits by her unconscious husband’s floating bedside, trying to get through to him with get well messages. She’s putting on a brave face but it’s tough. The Man of Steel […]

Titans: Beast World Tour: Metropolis #1 review

That title needs a colonoscopy… Who’s scheduling DC Comics these days? Last week the Beast World ‘event’ kicked off and here’s an anthology with three stories showing what happened after Beast Boy went Starro, throwing off spores that turn people into creatures. Except editorial notes in all three tales tell us: ‘This story takes place […]

Superman #8 review

Telekinetic bad boy The Chained continues his vendetta against Lex Luthor and while the Super Family do a good job fending him off, a secret revealed could shake one member to the core. Superman #8 – legacy number 851 – begins with a look back to the childhood of The Chained, and the day young […]

Superman #7 review/Superman #850 review

Yes, Superman #7 is otherwise known as Superman #850, it’s a legacy numbering thing – add up the various series and DC counts 850 comics solo-starring Superman. But don’t try this at home – what with mini-series and so on it may not work. What does work is Joshua Williamson’s script, which continues the ongoing […]
