Tales of the Titans #3 review

Donna Troy stars in the penultimate issue of the Titans mini-series and I can’t remember the last time she had a spotlight tale. The Girl Frenzy event, maybe? The DC Special mini-series. Either way, it’s a couple of decades. Now here she is and we get to see what she does in her downtime away […]

Titans #3 review

The Titans aren’t known for stealth. With an Amazonian powerhouse, an energy-blasting space princess and a half-man, half-robot whose biggest weapon is a white noise generator on the team, that’s not surprising. But they also have one of the world’s greatest detectives and a shapechanger to hand. So it is that Beast Boy takes the […]

Titans #1 review

It’s the big reveal of the new Titans Tower. The latest incarnation of the much-destroyed heroes’ headquarters is in Blüdhaven, home of team leader Nightwing.

DC Cybernetic Summer #1 review

I loved them, so I couldn’t resist this seasonal special. And […]

Legion of Super-Heroes: Millennium #2

And then… In a thoroughly civilised future, the immortal Rose Forrest is visiting the Space Museum, looking at displays reflecting the long-ago 21st century which spawned her. One of the facility’s janitors strikes up a conversation. He seems a nice guy, but when he starts offering to take her back to the past in a […]
