Justice League Unlimited #3 review

And this is what we call firing on all cylinders! Last issue the new super-Justice League foiled a plot by leftover Darkseid parademons but learned there’s another threat to Earth – a mystery organisation going by Inferno. This time, we join the heroes a week later, as they tackle a threat to Earth’s very ecosystem. […]

Justice League Unlimited #1 review

It’s a brand new day for the heroes of the DC Universe, as the Justice League becomes the umbrella organisation under which all heroes are invited to operate, as Flash tells first-timer Air Wave. The missions doled out by Red Tornado in this debut issue include an attack by War Wheels in South Africa… … […]

DC All In Special #1 review

Flip books. How I hate them. You’re reading a comic and you get to the middle and have to turn it upside down, usually for no good reason. It’s just a gimmick. DC All In Special does have a decent excuse for the chapters starting from opposite ends of the book, meeting in the middle […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #31 review

Years ago, the Justice League of America members gathered in their space base 22,300 miles above the Earth to watch a celestial event. ‘Wow’ is speedily followed by Pow! It’s Leaguer against Leaguer, the attackers’ faces tainted by the telltale tones of Eclipso, the man who was hero and villain. How did it come to […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #30 review

There’s trouble in Paradise in this flashback tale, prompting Diana, princess of the Amazons, to summon some new friends from Man’s World. While Batman surveys the scene, Superman and Robin head off to find the Amazon midwife Magala, believing she may have a clue or two. But when they arrive Magala is near hysterical, babbling […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #28 review

…or should that be Dimensions’ Finest, as a gaggle of imps drop onto Earth Prime? Before that happens, the cliffhanger from last issue is picked up as Jimmy Olsen, having proven himself Earth’s Mightiest Warrior, must face the unnamed Imp-Killer. Unfortunately, the powers Jimmy had last time are gone. But, good news! While Mr Mxyzptlk […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #27 review

When I was a kid, reading elderly DC comics inherited from a neighbour, there was a house ad that caught my eye. It featured Superman being smashed into a wall by a massive ginger beardy fella in a mini-skirt. Take a look. Zha-Vam. Sounds a bit like Shazam. I wanted to know more about this […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #26 review

Magical imps Mr Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite felt impelled to flee to Earth after a sinister figure, powerful even by their reality-altering standards, killed off a bunch of Justice League fans. They’ve implored Superman, Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder to get ready because ‘something’s coming’. The heroes aren’t impressed as Bat-Mite bids to get everyone […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #25 review

Twenty-five issues. How often does a comic book of the high quality we’ve seen in World’s Finest over the last two years manage to continue being published? But here’s writer Mark Waid and guest artist Steve Pugh with an extra-length celebration story and, wouldn’t you know it, it’s thoroughly entertaining. The surprise is that instead […]

Sinister Sons #1 review

Korg is a space orphan convinced he’s the son of Green Lantern’s greatest – or at least, pinkest – enemy, Sinestro. Lar-Zod knows he’s the son of Superman’s beardiest bad guy, General Zod. Korg wants to leave the world of Xela where he’s just killed space Fagan, Nagaf (see what they did there?), and take […]
