Challengers of the Unknown #3 review

The Challengers of the Unknown have been invited to be part of the new Justice League Unlimited. They’re smart, skilled and massively experienced in investigating the weird. Well, anomalies have been popping up all over universe, individual members of the core team have been teaming with Leaguers to investigate, disturbing things have been occurring that […]

The Question: All Along the Watchtower #4 review

The Question, Renee Montoya, was tasked with using her detective skills to find out who has been interfering with the Justice League Watchtower. And she’s cracked it! The Cyborg Superman has escaped from the Phantom Zone and used his ability to meld with machinery to bring the tech to life, surprising and incapicating most of […]

Green Lantern #19 review

One of my favourite things in superhero comics is the Day in the Life issue, and that’s exactly what we have here – Hal Jordan and friends hanging out as they prepare for their next big battle. First, we check in with Star Sapphire Carol Ferris, loving her new membership in Justice League Unlimited, even […]

Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum #1 review

Peace has broken out in the DC Universe. Well, the outer space bit that concerns the Green Lantern Corps, anyway. The war with the forces of rogue United Planets President Thaaros had been won, the world of Oa is being rebuilt and there’s time for Hal Jordan to enjoy a sandwich. Now there’s a thought […]

Challengers of the Unknown #1 review

I love the Challengers of the Unknown, those adventurers who live ‘on borrowed time’. It’s been a while since they’ve had a book, so this mini-series went straight onto my Must Buy list. They’ve had a few minis over the last few decades but never earned an ongoing, so here DC Editorial pushes the nuclear […]

The Question: All Along the Watchtower #1 review

Who watches the supermen? Renee Montoya, the cop turned Question. Life in Gotham City having gone to hell (again!), she’s accepted Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman’s offer to be marshal of the new Justice League Watchtower, hangout for every one of Earth’s heroes. She certainly looks the part. There’s a specific mission attached to the […]

Green Arrow #17 review

Who wants an epilogue to Green Arrow’s Absolute Power adventure, tying things up in a bow? It begins with Green Arrow hunting down Waller’s henchpeople, Peacemaker and Peacewrecker. Then he visits the newly imprisoned Amanda Waller. Popping up to the new JLA Satellite. Ollie tells the core members that in pretending to betray them to […]

Action Comics #1069 review

It’s the conclusion of Superman’s intergalactic boxing bout… well, boxing is understating it as punches are thrown, but so is an axe. The point is that the Man of Steel is being forced to fight other extraterrestrials, but ones with a more brutal attitude to puglisim. Luckily he has two official seconds… and an unofficial, […]

Avengers Assemble #1 review

There’s a new group of Avengers in town. Captain America is gathering heroes for a secondary squad of Earth’s mightiest heroes and first up are the Wasp, Photon and Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu. Or is it Master of the Ten Rings? He uses the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s magical hoops at least as much as […]

Green Arrow #15 review

‘Action-packed’ is a fair way to describe this issue. ‘Green Arrow-packed’, less so. As with last issue, Ollie Queen is barely in his own book. Sure, his son Connor Hawke is around and dressed in a Green Arrow outfit, but no one buys this book for Connor Hawke. It’s a shame we don’t spend much […]
