The Flash: Fastest Man Alive #10 review

It’s another two-story issue of this DC Digital First weekly and, refreshingly, there are no instances of Barry Allen being late for a meeting with Iris West. Yes, this was a regular thing in the Silver Age but instances of superhero-related tardiness six or eight times per year are a lot easier to take than […]

Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace #4 review

The bad people have gathered. Black Manta, Cheetah, Captain Cold, Lion-Mane, Scarecrow, Two Face and Killer Croc are breaking bread with the Penguin. He has a suggestion. Years ago, Wonder Woman was enjoying a team-up. Today… And things get worse. But this series from DC Digital First gets better and better. In a tight 16 […]

Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace #3 review

Superheroes on holiday, that’s something I love to see. A change of scene, a chance to see the person behind the costume unwind, sun, sand and sea… monsters!? Sea monsters attacking some of the brave warriors of Gorilla City, to be precise. And they don’t strike during Diana’s date with Steve Trevor, but a few […]

Superman #17 review

This is Superman patrolling in the Silver Age. This is Superman patrolling today. Isn‘t that glorious? The image comes courtesy of illustrator Kevin Maguire and colourist Paul Mounts, the idea comes from the mind of Brian Bendis. Different angles on Superman’s powers and personality are becoming his speciality, and we’re certainly getting an example of […]

Lois Lane #4 review

The final page of this instalment of the Lois Lane maxi-series tells us that next issue is to be called ‘No answers, only questions’. Actually, that would apply to every issue so far, including this one. We start where we left off last time, with a near-naked, very embarrassed Lois in the shower, where she […]

Lois Lane #3 review

Reporter Lois Lane has witnessed the murder of a dodgy businessman. By her side is private detective Renee Montoya, whom she’d hired to keep her safe. And she did, pushing Lois out of the way of a speeding bullet. But the businessman, Mr Agger – who was linked to dirty dealings in Congress – is […]

Superman: Leviathan Rising Special #1 review

Ms Leone, the secret Kingpin of the Metropolis Mob, is out shopping. Passing on Jimmy Olsen’s latest book of photography, and Wonder Woman’s self-help volume, she considers a tome on the Justice League. A mystery man appears and offer to buy it for her. What he really wants, though, is knowledge. Later, Clark Kent tells […]

Supergirl #25 review

Dog space suit! That’s my favourite thing in the first of three stories in Supergirl’s giant #25th issue. There’s other stuff in there, of course. Kara continuing her quest to learn the truth behind Krypton’s destruction, aided by Coluan scientist Z’ndr Col. A fight with new baddie Splyce, the Caretaker of Krypton, which sounds like […]

Supergirl #24 review

Supergirl is in the far reaches of space, desperate to track down the truth about the last days of Krypton. A Guardian of the Universe has told her the monstrous Rogol Zaar, the man who claimed to have murdered her home planet, was part of a conspiracy. Now she wants to find the other members […]

Meanwhile, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, who have set up a facility to give heroes a place away from the […]
