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. Happily, sister Shazam (Mary Marvel!) appears and takes over while Billy heads off to find out […]

Lazarus Planet: Revenge of the Gods #1 review

Across the world, the old gods are rising. Demonic deities loom over the streets of Tokyo. In Cairo, war goddess Sekhmet is siccing cats on people. Somewhere in Iceland Skadi steals the prey of hunters. And in Philadelphia, Apollo is causing chaos by sharing his gift of prophecy. On Mount Olympus, the new ruler of […]

Wonder Woman #788 review

In which Dr Psycho’s latest vendetta against Wonder Woman continues with the aid of a couple of members of the new Villainy Inc. Specifically, Sweetheart, the Bizarro Wonder Woman he’s created (via ectoplasm?), and bad old Dr Poison. They cause chaos with explosions and toxins as Checkmate agents Steve Trevor, Etta Candy and Siegfried try […]

Wonder Woman #781 review

A catch-up lunch date with Etta Candy is curtailed when a call from Steve Trevor summons Diana’s pal to his side. Wonder Woman asks Etta for a favour. Diana isn’t at a loss for something to do, having just learnt that longtime enemy Dr Psycho has put out a book of his poisonous thoughts. She […]

Wonder Woman #780 review

It’s a new beginning for Diana as she returns from the dead after an odyssey across other realms. Sheer force of will has brought her back to the land of the living, and she’s going to make sure everyone knows she’s ready to take up where she left off. Wonder Woman begins with a visit […]

Wonder Woman #778 review

I don’t keep up with variant covers but I can’t imagine that even the loveliest shot of Diana posing moodily would beat artist Travis Moore and colourist Tamra Bonvillain’s tremendous opening image for Wonder Woman #778. Wonder Woman in Bronze Age outfit and pals Siegfried and Ratatosk falling through a rabbit hole of multiple earths? […]

Wonder Woman #777 review

Diana’s quest to stop Janus the godslayer sees her and pals Siegfried and Ratatosk arrive back on Earth, at the Hall of Justice. Wonder Woman is relieved, confident her Justice League friends will assist them. Surprise! Miss Martian? Nope, it’s Marsha Martian of the Justice Guild of Earth 11. Well, that’s what Diana calls it. […]

Wonder Woman #776 review

Now here’s a cover that’s hard to resist. After years of Wonder Woman, warrior princess, here’s Diana, Disney princess. Mind, she’s very much a modern Daughter of Walt, standing up to bullies when she finds herself in Fairyland. It’s the latest stop in a tour of mystical realms that has so far seen Diana have […]

Wonder Woman #772 review

On a quest for a magic key, Diana has allowed herself to be swallowed by Nidhogg, the snake that surrounds the World Tree of Norse mythology. She’s confident she can find the key and get out again, but hasn’t factored in the fact that when it comes to stomach acid, the bile of a mystical […]
