JSA #23 review

Our story opens in 1951, when the Justice Society of America disbands rather than reveal their civilian identities during the ‘Unamerican Activities’ hoohah. Ten years later, a shady figure individually approaches three former members, all of whom are bored as full-time civilians. There’s Ted Grant. Rex Tyler, Hourman. And, Dr Charles McNider, the former Dr […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #54 review

War is about to break out between two DC Universe Madeupistans. Superman and Batman are wondering how to calm things down. So much for ‘pretend ghost’ – our heroes instantly find themselves in a place they’ve been previously, the Hell realm ruled by Neron. And they’re not the only heroes drafted in by the mystery […]

JSA #22 review

The ‘Search for the Spectre’ four-parter concludes with a new host being found for the Ghostly Guardian, I know the clue is right there in the title, but I honestly didn’t see that happening… we’ve had former Green Lantern Hal Jordan take over from Jim Corrigan, and the unfortunately named Gotham detective Crispus Allen also […]

Justice League: Knight Vision Special #1 review

After the DC KO tournament ended, heroes and villains alike had visions of things they felt they had to do to prepare for the next big battle with Darkseid. Only Batman and probationary member Lex Luthor were denied a sneak peek at the future – until recently. And now they find themselves hunting the man […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest Annual 2026 #1 review

Now here’s an intriguing cover – Jonathan Kent and Alfred Pennyworth looking down on the city in a nod to Carmine Infantino’s classic Sixties Batman and Robin poster. The only change I’d make to Dan Mora’s design would be the removal of the combined Batman/Superman signal, it makes the page too cluttered. Inside we have […]

JSA #21 review

Behind this peppy cover by Pete Woods is the Search for the Spectre Part 3 of 4, so it’s time for things to really ramp up before the big finale. We are getting a big finale, aren’t we? Because things don’t really ramp up here. Half the book is a continuation of the dangerous game […]

Action Comics #1099 review

Superboy is powerless, his abilities drained by a weapon wielded by Epoch, the Lord of Time. And now he’s struggling to adjust to life as a regular Earth teenager. As well as dealing with pain, he has the likely return of Epoch, who vanished after Superboy was blasted by his hi-tech armour, to fret about. […]

JSA #20 review

It’s weird, I’m often moaning about quick reads, but at other times a breezy book really hits the spot. JSA #20 is certainly a quick read, it’s not trying to reinvent the wheel… there’s no need because the wheel is working very well. You may remember that in DC’s All In Special the Spectre was […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #51 review

It’s Superman, Batman and Robin fighting dinosaurs and lizard men in the lost world of the Warlord! I expect you’re sold. If not, I’ll mention there’s a story in here, too. Yes, it’s a slim one to explain why the World’s Finest heroes are in Skartaris, but it’s there. They’re looking for a missing airman. […]

Action Comics #1098 review

It’s all smiles on the delightful Ryan Sook cover of the latest issue of Action Comics, but inside people are a lot more stressed. Heroes from the future Mary Marvel, J’onn J’onzz and Booster Gold have followed Epoch, the Lord of Time, to the Smallville of their past… and lost him. Now they’re staying with […]
