Green Arrow #11 review

Oh dear, this isn’t a very successful issue. Well, unless unconvincing threats and dizzyingly dull exposition is your thing. If you’ve come in late, the past ten issues have seen, first, Oliver Queen bouncing around time as mysterious forces tried to keep him from his loved ones. It turned out that Suicide Squad showrunner turned […]

Green Arrow #10 review

Green Arrow has agreed to help Amanda Waller retrieve the secrets of Sanctuary, the disastrous superhero therapy centre which aimed to help Heroes in Crisis. Waller being a homicidal megalomaniac these days, Ollie’s not exactly in her corner, he aims to rescue the last hero she recruited/coerced into going into sanctuary – Ollie’s ward Roy, […]

Green Arrow #9 review

It’s moving day at the Hall of Justice. Or rather, the Bureau of Sovereignty, renamed after Amanda Waller took it over on behalf of the US government. She’s cleaning it out of all Justice League gadgets, weapons and souvenirs; where they’re going and why, nobody knows, certainly not chief lackey Peacemaker. Now, who’s that crazy? […]

Teen Titans: Beast World #6 review

After a couple of months of comics in which a plague of Starro spores have been proving a massive threat to everyone on Earth, the Titans save the day with surprising ease. Nightwing has an idea to undermine Amanda Waller’s plan to kill a million humans who have been transformed into beasts – cure them […]

Titans: Beast World #4 review

The world is being overrun by crazed animal people, transformed by little Starros made from a super-sized Beast Boy. The heroes are doing what they can, and so are the villains. Well, some of them, anyway. It’s Giganta, longtime enemy of Wonder Woman and occasional girlfriend of all-new Atom Ryan Choi. Ryan’s not in this […]

Power Girl #1 review

It’s an exciting day for Power Girl. She has a brand new secret identity… … a brand new mission… … and a brand-new foe. Well, brand new to Power Girl. Older readers and back issue bin bargain hunters might recognise the name and costume colours – Amalak was a Silver/Bronze Age Superman villain and here’s […]

Knight Terrors: Night’s End #1 review

First off, why does the core story of this DC summer event play out in so many differently titled books? We’ve had Knight Terrors: First Blood, four issues of plain ol’ Knight Terrors, and now this. It should have been simply six issues called Knight Terrors. Anyway, Insomnia, who sent pretty much the whole world […]

Knight Terrors: Action Comics #2 review

The Knight Terrors micro-series continues. Once again we have two strips with one set-up; new villain Insomnia has forced the world into a deep sleep and is searching their dreams for something called The Maguffin Stone. Hang on, sorry, it’s the Nightmare Stone. But that’s not important right now – Insomnia motivates the tales starring […]

Knight Terrors: Action Comics #1 review

DC’s summer Halloween event continues with a look at what’s happening to the rest of the Super Family while Superman and Supergirl fight the effects of new villain Insomnia’s supernatural sleeping sickness. But first – sigh – Power Girl. What’s she doing back in Action? I thought that with a new series coming up which […]

Green Arrow #3 review

It’s all go for the Green Arrow family. As Oliver Queen and Lian Harper are pinged from an alien world to Earth’s future by forces unknown and encounter Ollie’s long-lost son Conner Hawke… … Dinah Lance and Roy Harper have broken into Belle Reve prison in an attempt to find out who’s determined to stop […]
