Superman: The Wedding Album 30th Anniversary Special #1 review

Thirty years, and it feels like yesterday. Happily, like Clark and Lois, I’ve barely aged a day. I remember the original Wedding Album, but someone who doesn’t is their son Jon Kent, who’s wiling way an afternoon looking at family photos. Jon realises he doesn’t even know his parents’ anniversary and is aghast to find […]

Superman Unlimited #18 review

When is a number one not a number one? When it’s a DC Comic. Whereas Marvel have got into the habit of relaunching some titles every five issues, DC trusts the readers to buy the book even without a new set of numbers. So here we are, 18 months since the debut of Superman Unlimited, […]

Action Comics #1100 review

Now that’s a cover worthy of an anniversary issue, so thanks to Ryan Sook for getting Action Comics #1100 off to a super start. Just look at those Supermen of different eras – there’s no New 52 fella, what a shame – and details such as the Lexcorp-sponsored racing car and visual pun of the […]

Film review: Supergirl (2026)

Having not been a fan of the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow mini-series there was a chance I wouldn’t bother seeing the adaptation at the cinema. But, as a huge Supergirl fan, that was never very likely. I mean, I enjoyed the 1984 Helen Slater film, it was daft fun! As for this year’s model, I […]

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. […]

Supergirl #11 review

Be careful what you wish for, that’s what the old adage says. It certainly applies to this issue of Supergirl, which brings me what I’ve been asking for – a one-on-one with Supergirl and a bad guy, with none of our heroine’s super/scientific pals lending a hand. Because, as enjoyable as Lena Luthor, Luna Lustrum […]

Action Comics #1086 review

In the heart of the Arctic Circle the machine madman Kilg%re reveals himself to Superman as the mastermind of attacks on a climate change research station. Kilg%re, realising he’s not going to have an easy time against the Man of Steel, tries another approach – partnership. A chance to inherit the Earth. You can imagine […]

Action Comics #1085 review

Superman helps climate crisis scientists defend their research from sabotage, cybernetically enhanced polar bears and retro robots – and behind the scenes, there’s a classic supervillain. Doesn’t that sound fun? And it is, in parts. Oh yes, I forgot to mention, Superman dresses for Greenland. Later, after the bears have vanished – literally. It’s nice, […]

Action Comics #1081 review

The Phantom King, Xa-Du, has returned from exile in time to rally the Phantom Zone escapees who have been causing havoc across the galaxy. The Super Family are primed to hunt them down, even Mon-El, despite the temporary solution around his fatal vulnerability to lead being less effective with every minute that passes. The Daxamite […]

Action Comics #1080 review

The Phantom Zone criminals who attacked Earth have been defeated, but others have spread out into the universe. And they’re the worst of the worst. The likes of Jax-Ur, whose illegal experiments with rocket ships saw space travel outlawed, leading to one escape route from exploding Krypton being fenced off. Sadistic man-hater Faora Hu-Ul. And […]
