Green Lantern/Green Arrow: World’s Finest Special #1 review

Hal Jordan and Ollie Queen are the hard-travelin’ heroes driving around the United States, ‘finding America’. What they find here is the super-villain Deathstroke, trying to impress a secret organisation by killing Green Lantern and Green Arrow.

Superman: Son of Kal-El #11 review

Who has time for […]

It was Wally West, one of the bestest Flashes ever, because he was all confused and upset and couldn’t keep bolts of Speed Force lightning from escaping his body and slashing sundry sad superfolk to […]
