Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton #5 review

Krypto has found his way to Kansas, but the first people who make his super-ears perk up aren’t Jonathan, Martha and Clark Kent. We don’t learn the victims’ names, just that they’re in trouble from a woman with a gun. Bullets are no match for Krypto now his powers have kicked in. He does have […]

Krypto #4 review

In our house, there’s a rule. If someone in a thriller or horror has a dog, be ready with the channel changer to zap away at a moment’s notice. The latest issue of the Krypto mini-series, presumably commissioned due to his starring role in the recent Superman film, needs a cover blurb: ‘Warning: Contains Adorable […]

One World Under Doom #6 review

Well, that looks painful. Victor Von Doom takes Reed Richards apart on Ben Harvey’s creepy cover. Dr Doom rips Mr Fantastic apart inside the issue too, but with words rather than metal gauntlets. The Latverian dictator and longtime Fantastic Four foe has taken over the world. Having become Sorceror Supreme when he was key to […]

Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton #2 review

A sweet kid offering a hot dog to Krypto. That’s the first thing I see on Jae Lee’s lyrical image. Then I spot, behind the boy’s back, a bear trap. It seems there’s only one good boy on this cover. The story reminds those of us who were here for the first issue of this […]

Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton #1 review

This review could be boiled down to one word – Awwwww. I’ve always been a fan of the Dog of Steel. Well, the real one anyway, not the post-Crisis lizard thing or the grumpy Super-Marmaduke. There’s only one Krypto, and he’s a small fella of indeterminate breed. And that’s official! Published to coincide with Krypto’s […]

Fantastic Four #3 review

With the Fantastic Four separated and without access to their money, Johnny Storm, in his brand new secret identity of Jonathan Fairweather, has taken a job in a big box store. Deciding to do something about the lousy pay and conditions, the Human Torch pays Merrill a visit, not realising they met years ago when […]

Secret Invasion #1 review

Good news. I’m as bright as Nick Fury. That’s Nick Fury Jr, but still. I can’t tell you why or it’d spoil a plot point that comes way halfway through this first issue, but I know how impressive I am This comic is impressive too. I wasn’t expecting much – yet another new Marvel release […]

Power Pack #1 review

Power Pack are back! Katie, Jack, Julie and Alex are together for the first time in years in a five-issue mini-series tying in to the Outlawed event. As best as I can tell, that’s Civil War for Marvel’s younger set, and while I couldn’t resist grabbing a new Power Pack book, my lack of enthusiasm […]
