Superwoman Special #1 review

We’ve waited a couple of months, but here we learn just how Lois Lane gained super-powers and, as everyone thought, it’s all connected to the Absolute Power storyline. Lois, wanting to help her husband, son and the rest of the hero community, donned a Luthor super-suit and headed for Gamorra, where Amanda Waller was running […]

Action Comics #1066 review

It’s 1066 but it’s not the Battle of Hastings, it’s the Battle of Brainiac as Superman, Superboy, Lobo and Silver Banshee fight for survival against the computer tyrant of Colu and his latest creation… … the Brainiac Queen. She’s just killed and eaten Brainiac’s army of Czarnians and now has her eye – and tongue […]

Dark Crisis: Young Justice #4 review

Robin, Impulse and Superboy have been plucked from the everyday DC Universe and are fighting, as the cover says, everybody! Well, everybody who was anybody when they first got together as a junior Justice League. Teammates Wonder Girl, Arrowette and mentor Red Tornado, meanwhile, are trying to track the three YJ founders down. Looking for […]

Dark Crisis: Young Justice #2 review

Last issue Impulse, Superboy and Robin vanished from the Justice League’s memorial service.

Harley Quinn: Make ‘em Laugh #1 review

Her ubiquity across the DC Universe would make you believe otherwise, but Harley Quinn doesn’t spend all her time running with the super-set. Some days she freelances in her old profession of Harleen Quinzel, psychologist. Others, she consults on security matters. So it is that Harley Quinn and her baseball bat embed themselves at Gotham […]

Supergirl Annual #2 review

The bad news. Supergirl has been sacrificed at the altar of the Batman Who Laughs crossover. The good news. Writer Robert Venditti finds a workaround so he can tell us a story of the last days of Krypton. And boy, do I love those. I must have read a dozen DC tales down the years […]

Wonder Woman #51 review

Some time ago, Wonder Woman sent would-be murderess Mayfly to jail for a long stretch. The last person she expects to visit her is Diana. But here she is. Maybe it’s Diana’s aura of truth, but despite her deep antagonism, Mayfly opens up. Diana visits once more. And continues calling every couple of months for […]
