Lazarus Planet: Revenge of the Gods #3 review

The story so far: mad Greek deity Hera has killed Zeus and is sending gods and monsters to attack Earth, the idea being that this will get people worshipping the Olympians once more. No, me neither. Anyway, Wonder Woman made a deal to spare the Amazons, but Hera immediately reneged on it and the ladies […]

Lazarus Planet: Revenge of the Gods #2 review

The assault on Earth masterminded by the mad god Hera continues, with giants attacking occupied buildings in Philadelphia. Billy Batson calls down the magical lightning to become the hero Shazam (Captain Marvel!) but doesn’t find saving the day simple.

So although the Gotham-set books all reflect a Bladerunner future, they’re not all […]

Justice League #7 review

The Justice League are facing several problems. Actually, ‘problems’ is understating things enormously. There’s new villain team The Legion of Doom. The mystery incursion they’re calling The Totality. The predicted end of the Multiverse in a year’s time. And the evil planet Umbrax that’s out to pull a corrupted Earth into its evil galaxy. I […]
