Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #5 review

Let’s start with a round of applause for the cover. It’s delightful, with smiling heroes, a dastardly villain, a dizzying view of Metropolis and a glowing Super-symbol – it’s a complicated composition, beautifully executed in full-colour by Dan Mora. The heroes aren’t smiling as we rejoin them in the latest episode of the ‘Devil Nezha’ […]

Superman: Son of Kal-El #13 review

There’s some very good news for Superman 2 Jon Kent this month. We’ll get there, but first, the lead-up.

Superman: Son of Kal-El #11 review

This issue starts soon after the close of last month’s instalment, with Jon in a Justice League safe house, reeling from Batman’s insistence that his boyfriend Jay isn’t to be trusted because he runs with a bad crowd, The Revolutionaries. Jon zooms out of the mountain chalet, leaving Batman alone. But not for long. Jon’s […]

After a violent encounter with Metallo’s red kryptonite cocktail, Superman is left with a life-threatening morphing condition. Happily, Negative Man of the Doom Patrol is able to use his alien energy to dampen down the Man of Steel long enough for a specialist to step in. Dr Niles Caulder, creator of the Patrol, doesn’t find […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #1 review

It’s a few years ago, and Batman, Robin and Superman are fighting Poison Ivy and Metallo in Metropolis. Metallo gets the better of Superman for long enough to inject him with a cocktail containing a blend of red Kryptonite rocks. A few years before that, the three heroes are forging a friendship over a battle […]
