Justice League Unlimited #9 review

Time is out of joint. Which may be why this smart cover from series artist Dan Mora belongs on Justice League Unlimited’s next issue. At least that’s my theory, as, while we get the two trios shown in this chapter of the ongoing story, they don’t meet up. Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman appear only […]

Action Comics #1088 review

Years ago, an attack on the Metropolis Expo of Tomorrow forced Clark Kent to bring forward his planned debut as a super-powered saviour. It’s the day after and the Press is excited, wondering what to call the flying kid with amazing strength. One idea catches the imagination of the Daily Planet’s young editor, Perry White. […]

New History of the DC Universe #1 review

In 1986, over two issues, Marv Wolfman, George Perez, Karl Kesel and Tom Ziuko told us the new history of the DC Universe. Readers had questions after the Crisis on Infinite Earths shmooshed together five parallel DC Earths. In 2025 we’re getting four issues and we’re not coming out of a Crisis event. We’re coming […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #40 review

I’m just an old-fashioned boy and I love an old-fashioned superhero romp. And that’s just what we get in the latest between-big-storylines issue of World’s Finest.

The heroes who noticed the incursion have been banished, and as for the rest… The good guys are no pushovers but they’ve been taken by surprise by a Legion of Doom from years ago, the Gorilla Grodd of today having recruited them with […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest 2025 Annual #1 review

Annuals come in various shapes and sizes. They may be all reprints, as in the Silver Age. Or one-off stories featuring special creative teams – remember that time Mongul messed up Superman’s birthday? Or part of a linewide crossover, a la Atlantis Attacks or Armageddon 2000. Occasionally they’re the conclusion of a big storyline in […]

Superman: The Last Days of Lex Luthor #3 review

Superman and Lex Luthor have been taken for a ride. The disease Lex thought he’d developed due to an accident has turned out to be part of a plot against the Man of Steel by computer conqueror Brainiac. Despite his lack of powers, Superman has faith the Justice League and Earth’s other heroes will step […]

A few years ago, Clark (Superman) Kent is alongside Bruce (Batman) Wayne, reporting on the latest Waynetech jet as piloted by Hal (Green Lantern) Jordan. Above Africa, though, the plane runs into trouble, and Hal vanishes. Literally. Soon his abductor makes himself known. Superman and Batman call in fellow Justice Leaguer Barry Allen, the Flash, […]
