Absolute Power: Super Son #1 review

Amanda Waller used Jon Kent as a tool against other heroes in her war on metahumans. Infected by the Brainiac Queen, he hunted down his friends, but now he’s free, recovering on Paradise Island. Jon’s belief that all cyber corruption is gone proves to be wrong. He relives things he did while under control of […]

The Flash #796 review

It’s the finale to the One-Minute War storyline with the whole of the Flash Family united in fighting back against the Fraction. The Speed Force-tapping extraterrestrials have landed on Earth and frozen the populace as a precursor to stealing the planet’s resources. The speedsters’ efforts to reclaim the world – their powers mean they’re free […]

The Flash #781 review

We don’t see the conclusion of the fight, but we do see the reactions of the […]
