Superman Unlimited #3 review

Timed perfectly to go with the new Man of Steel film, this third issue spotlights a Superman’s Best Friend, Krypto. In the past, young Clark Kent tried to train his unruly pup.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #8 review

And here it is, the final issue of a mini-series that’s been dark. depressing, rambling and frustrating. So how is the conclusion? All of these, with an extra order of dark.

Superman #15 review

Oh, how I love a good old-fashioned cover with an intriguing situation encapsulated by dialogue; I think DC has some kind of linewide word balloon cover stunt this month. Whatever the case, this nicely previews one of the plot points from this issue. But there are more. Starting with… What the heck are we going […]
