Detective Comics 2025 Annual #1 review

Oh thank the stars, a done-in-one Batman story and it is really good. Given this is a Detective Comics issue I probably shouldn’t be surprised, but this tale sees our hero collecting clues in a bid to solve a very intriguing mystery. It’s the god’s honest Darknight Detective at his very best. Sure, there’s a […]

Lazarus Planet: Assault on Krypton #1

The second book in DC’s latest event is an anthology, with all four shorts showcasing powers being gained or changed as a result of the Lazarus weather storm. What it isn’t is anything to do with Krypton. Sure, we have this opening spiel… … but none of this comes up at all on the pages. […]

The New Golden Age #1 review

Well, this made me happy. A romp through the DC Universe beginning with the first meeting of the Justice Society of America… … and ending with a 31st-Century version of the team.

Justice League #64 review
