Supergirl #5 review

Supergirl takes Lesla Lar to Metropolis for a spot of superheroine training, leaving Lena Luthor to mind the Midvale store. She’s also looking after Super-Pets Krypto, Streaky, Kandy and Tinytano… all of whom abscond the second the girl genius’s back is turned. Bad bunny Kandy begins trying to annoy Krypto, because they first met as […]

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

Wonder Woman #771 review

Wonder Woman is in Valhalla, with few memories of her previous life, getting used to the daily routine of battling dead Norsemen, occasional dying and coming back in time for a jug of mead and a row with a particularly useless specimen. With Thor refusing to admit that a dying World Tree, missing warriors and […]

Wonder Woman #770 review

Where does the greatest superhero blessed by the gods of Olympus go when she dies? Where else but… …Valhalla? It’s not all mead and toasting for Diana, though – while her nights are spent carousing, her days are devoted to battle. In Wagnerian hero Siegfried, Diana has an instant friend, but he’s not the only […]
