Supergirl #13 review

Kandor is burning, the war between old and young has peaked. The Science Council has sent super-clones Team Thunder against murderous rebel Black Flame Zora Vi-Lar and her lackey cousin Lesla-Lar. Kara isn’t able to dive into the fray because she’s having trouble adjusting to the cybernetic attachments keeping her alive since she was literally […]

Justice League Unlimited #18 review

Letting villains join Justice League Unlimited is a terrible idea Justice League Unlimited #18 is my favourite issue of the series so far. A day in the life issue, writer Mark Waid uses it as an opportunity to address the questions that would arise when a society for good opens its doors to people who […]

Supergirl #12 review

Now, generally I get a kick out of seeing new looks for Supergirl. Not this time… poor Kara has been remade into a robotic heroine after last month’s brutal battle with Black Flame in the Bottle City of Kandor. Behind the cybernetics and bionics is a stalwart of Krypton’s last community, Kim-Da. Kara and Kim-Da […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #50 review

How’s this for an anniversary cover? Dan Mora gathers a fantastic array of characters who have appeared in this series and its equally engaging spin-offs over the past few years to invite us inside. And behind the cover are two stories that aren’t trying to do anything other than entertain, and in that they succeed […]

Justice League Unlimited #17 review

Dan Mora produces an especially fabulous cover this issue, it’s just a shame the very traditional JLA stars circling the characters have been cut off. As for the particular group, it’s a mix of heroes and villains, but for once they’re not fighting, they’re mingling. And the title, Villain Amnesty, implies bad guys are joining […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #49 review

Last issue ended with Superman and Batman revealed as prisoners on Earth 3, at the mercy of alternate world counterparts Ultraman and Owlman, and Superwoman Lois Lane. This issue reveals how our World’s Finest heroes, in this story set years ago, found themselves on the wrong side of a space portal. It began with Brainiac. […]

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 […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #47 review

The oddball Luthor/Joker team-up concludes, with the merged villains facing an equally merged Superman/Batman, backed up by a coterie of Justice Leaguers. Last issue ended with the Thanagarian Absorbascon having beamed the knowledge of our heroes’ secret identities into the minds of everyone on Earth. The blended Batman and Superman, nicknamed Fusion, manages to save […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #45 review

A team-up between the Joker and Luthor, what could be more traditional for World’s Finest? Superman and Batman, it’s your two favourite foes together. Very together, as it turns out… The book starts with no action, but lots of entertainment, as Superman and Batman relax in Gotham’s Batcave with a bowl of popcorn – the […]

Supergirl #7 review

It’s Thanksgiving Day in Midvale and Supergirl’s adoptive parents, Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers, are preparing a feast for family and friends, furry and otherwise. As her friend Lesla-Lar tries to get her head around US Thanksgiving traditions, Supergirl is dealing with weightier… sorry wetter, matters. Diving into the sea to try out her new gills […]
