Supergirl #4 review

Lesla-Lar, the Supergirl fan who tried to steal Supergirl’s life, is back home in Kandor, facing a court… presided over by her parents, which seems a bit of a conflict of interest. By her side is Kara, also accused of bad behaviour. Supergirl has another suggestion – she believes Lesla has the makings of a […]

Justice League Unlimited #9 review

Time is out of joint. Which may be why this smart cover from series artist Dan Mora belongs on Justice League Unlimited’s next issue. At least that’s my theory, as, while we get the two trios shown in this chapter of the ongoing story, they don’t meet up. Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman appear only […]

Supergirl #3 review

Crazy Kandor kid Lesla-Lar wants Supergirl’s life. She’s hypnotised Kara’s Earth parents and convinced the town of Midvale she’s the real deal. Kara’s regular costume having been vandalised by Lesla, she’s resorted to an older look and is doing good regardless. A little super-vision spying has Supergirl guessing where Lesla’s head is at, and she […]

Supergirl #2 review

Supergirl, this is your life… and Lesla-Lar has stolen it. A young woman from Kandor who’s been saved by Supergirl, Lesla is a mixed-up kid, her low-self esteem turning her into one twisted sister. Via a combination of Earth’s gravity and yellow sun, and the super-skin she invented, Lesla has become a ‘better’ version of […]

Justice League Unlimited #7 review

The Justice League Watchtower has been invaded by the Legion of Doom. The heroes who noticed the incursion have been banished, and as for the rest… The good guys are no pushovers but they’ve been taken by surprise by a Legion of Doom from years ago, the Gorilla Grodd of today having recruited them with […]

Fire and Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #2 review

The Absolute Power event ended with JLI stalwarts Fire and Ice facing a life with their powers swapped over. So far Bea has been doing OK with Tora’s ice casting, but Tora is freaked out by being able to generate dangerous blasts of flame. Finding a monkey’s paw in Zatanna’s top hat, Bea wishes for […]

Supergirl #1 review

It’s just another day for Supergirl. In Metropolis, the Maid of Might has a whale of a time seeing off an over-ambitious bad girl. And in the bottle city of Kandor, a rescued young woman gets all starry eyed. The furry pink fella being carried in Kara’s expandable cape is Lar-On, like Kara an Argo […]

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, […]

Justice League Unlimited #5 review

A handful of Justice Leaguers have been assigned to protect world leaders at the G20 summit in Sydney. A high-profile event such as this is just the sort of place super-terror group Inferno would strike. The heroes on call are Star Sapphire, Green Lantern, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Flash and Impulse. Plus, one Global Guardian. Doubting […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #36 review

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, […]
