Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton #5 review

Krypto has found his way to Kansas, but the first people who make his super-ears perk up aren’t Jonathan, Martha and Clark Kent. We don’t learn the victims’ names, just that they’re in trouble from a woman with a gun. Bullets are no match for Krypto now his powers have kicked in. He does have […]

Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton #2 review

A sweet kid offering a hot dog to Krypto. That’s the first thing I see on Jae Lee’s lyrical image. Then I spot, behind the boy’s back, a bear trap. It seems there’s only one good boy on this cover. The story reminds those of us who were here for the first issue of this […]

Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton #1 review

This review could be boiled down to one word – Awwwww. I’ve always been a fan of the Dog of Steel. Well, the real one anyway, not the post-Crisis lizard thing or the grumpy Super-Marmaduke. There’s only one Krypto, and he’s a small fella of indeterminate breed. And that’s official! Published to coincide with Krypto’s […]

Mr Terrific: Year One #1 review

Darkseid is on the Justice League Watchtower. He causes chaos. He dies. But the dark god of Apokolips leaves behind trace energy. Michael Holt, Mr Terrific, is disturbed. His thoughts turn to the past It’s two years after the death of his wife and the ‘third-smartest man in the world’ looks to be lacking in […]

Green Lantern/Green Arrow: World’s Finest Special #1 review

Hal Jordan and Ollie Queen are the hard-travelin’ heroes driving around the United States, ‘finding America’. What they find here is the super-villain Deathstroke, trying to impress a secret organisation by killing Green Lantern and Green Arrow. Of course, putting two veteran Justice Leaguers in the ground isn’t as easy as surprising them with a […]

Black Lightning #1 review

The new Justice League Unlimited is up and running and Black Lightning has volunteered for a rather intriguing role. Helping Jefferson Pierce scout new metahumans needing help to deal with their powers is youngest daughter Jennifer, the superheroine Lightning. And aiding on the home front is ex-wife Lynn, owner of a good listening ear. As […]

Blue Beetle #7 review

The cover promises fun, and by gum, that’s what we get inside as Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes and Booster Gold go on a quest to help Blue Beetle Ted Kord get himself together. Literally. It’s an old school quest, the kind of thing the Justice League would occupy themselves with every other month in the […]

Alan Scott: Green Lantern #4 review

If this issue’s cover had a blurb it’d be ‘ALL-OUT EXPOSITION ISSUE’ because it’s flashback time for villain of the piece Red Lantern. He’s captured Green Lantern Alan Scott in our hero’s own apartment and is telling him that His Love Was a Lie. Yes, Alan’s long lost love is the Red Lantern, he’s not […]

Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #1 review

It’s 1936 and Army engineer Alan Scott is part of a project to find and capture a legendary energy source. It’s 1941 and FBI chief J Edgar Hoover is blackmailing mystery man the Green Lantern to help put new super team the Justice Society of America in the limelight. If you’re a regular reader of […]

Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow #1 review

What a strange title… we already have at least two Men of Tomorrow in the DC Universe and the whole premise of this book is that Conner Kent wants to find his own place in the world. The subtitle has to be a nod to the recent Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow mini-series, which some people […]
