JSA #8 review

In a flashback tale the Justice Society of America quest for the Spear of Destiny in Berlin and find super-villains trying to use it to summon monsters from a nether realm. First of all, though, would you look at that cover? Michael Cho uses his retro style to give us an image that wouldn’t shame […]

JSA #7 review

It’s the day of Wildcat’s funeral. His nine lives ran out during the Justice Society’s war with the Injustice Society so friends and family are saying goodbye. Feelings are running high. The Flash, Jay Garrick, is feeling the loss. Yolanda Montez, the second Wildcat, is feeling guilty. Jesse Chambers, aka Jesse Quick, is feeling lost. […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest 2025 Annual #1 review

Annuals come in various shapes and sizes. They may be all reprints, as in the Silver Age. Or one-off stories featuring special creative teams – remember that time Mongul messed up Superman’s birthday? Or part of a linewide crossover, a la Atlantis Attacks or Armageddon 2000. Occasionally they’re the conclusion of a big storyline in […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #38 review

A few years ago, Clark (Superman) Kent is alongside Bruce (Batman) Wayne, reporting on the latest Waynetech jet as piloted by Hal (Green Lantern) Jordan. Above Africa, though, the plane runs into trouble, and Hal vanishes. Literally. Soon his abductor makes himself known. Superman and Batman call in fellow Justice Leaguer Barry Allen, the Flash, […]

JSA #6 review

It’s a tale of two Wildcats as the Ragnarok storyline goes on and on… I guess that’s Ragnarok for you. The original Wildcat, Ted Grant, shows fighting ability isn’t the only reason he’s been such an asset to the Justice Society of America since the beginning. He doesn’t have a magic lantern, wings or a […]

The new Injustice Society of America ambushed the JSA, determined to steal some of their magical talismans. Heroes were hurt, others retreated to the extradimensional Tower of Fate where they’ve been under siege from demons summoned by the wizard Wotan. JSA-ers who weren’t present for the assault gathered in the brownstone to puzzle over what […]

Secret Six #1 review

Jon Kent is at Belle Reve prison, stopping Bizarro from escaping. He’s a little hard on the poor schlub. Dreamer is having a nightmare about upcoming surgery – pray it’s not prophetic! And when the waking Nia Nal comes calling on Jon and boyfriend Jay Nakamura – who occasionally goes by Gossamer – the latter […]

The villain has been revealed. Jason Woodrue, the Floronic Man, is behind the disease which ravaged the Atlantean citizens of Tritonis, framing the populace of Poseidonis. And he has Batman and Robin, who have been investigating alongside Superman, under his green thumb. As for the Man of Steel, he’s in magical chains cast by Ronal, […]

JSA #4 review

Dr Mid-Nite wakes, having been captured by the Injustice Society, and she has a guard. A very large guard. Beth Chapel, though, has skills. Skills taught her by the likes of Batman, Mr Miracle and (of course) Wildcat. She escapes, and sneaks upon the villains as they plot. The red-suited Johnny Sorrow has recently been […]

Batman and Robin #17 review

We’re deep into the ‘Memento’ serial and things are hotting up. At Arkham Tower to question Scarecrow Jonathan Crane about a legendary plant which may be connected to what he believes is a copycat killer homaging long-ago crimes, Batman has been caught up in a riot. Robin isn’t at his side because Damian is volunteering […]
