Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #45 review

A team-up between the Joker and Luthor, what could be more traditional for World’s Finest? Superman and Batman, it’s your two favourite foes together. Very together, as it turns out… The book starts with no action, but lots of entertainment, as Superman and Batman relax in Gotham’s Batcave with a bowl of popcorn – the […]

Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum: #3 review

New varieties of Kryptonite have arrived on Earth, and rather than toss them into the sun, Superman has been testing them on himself to determine their effects. Having survived the chaos caused by the first two, Superman is… Superboy. Cobalt Kryptonite has taken years off him, and while he awaits the results of Batman’s attempts […]

Superman #27 review

Superman is seeing red. Literally. He’s been poisoned by red kryptonite and is finding it hard not to give in to the accompanying induced anger. His state has come to the attention of the immortal guardian of Metropolis, Marilyn Moonlight. Superman wants her to help find Pharm and Graft, mortal enemies of Lex Luthor who, […]

Superman #26 review

Last time Superman fought a super-powered clone of Lex Luthor, with the original bald baddie manipulated by ex-assistant Mercy into killing his deadly doppelgänger. That puts Lex in a prison cell and daughter Lena in a rage. Art by Barrows and Ferreira… I think Lois is in a lab on the Justice League Watchtower having […]

Superman #13 review

House of Brainiac continues, with most of the Super Family bottled by Brainiac and dragged into outer space. The conqueror from Colu sicced the last citizens of the planet Czarnia on Metropolis, along with his droid warriors, and the hit and run caught the heroes off guard. Superman, though, has an idea as to who […]

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 […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #25 review

Twenty-five issues. How often does a comic book of the high quality we’ve seen in World’s Finest over the last two years manage to continue being published? But here’s writer Mark Waid and guest artist Steve Pugh with an extra-length celebration story and, wouldn’t you know it, it’s thoroughly entertaining. The surprise is that instead […]

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 #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 […]

Superman #5 review

An amped-up Silver Banshee has attacked Superman. The Man of Steel isn’t thrilled but it’s worse for the screaming demon – onetime supervillain Siobhan had reformed and was making a new life in Metropolis. She’s being forced to take on Superman by the happily evil Dr Pharm, who similarly manipulated the Parasite. Siobhan’s banshee scream […]
