Heroes in Crisis #6 review

It’s therapy session time at Sanctuary. Time-tossed Teen Titan Gnarrk, mentally malfunctioning ‘villainess’ Harley Quinn and reality-ripped Flash Wally West are, separately, considering the same question. How many people have they saved? Why the resident AI at the refuge set up by Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman wants to know this, isn’t clear. Still, off […]

Heroes in Crisis #5 review

The Sanctuary for distressed superheroes is no more, its promise of peace ruined by a killer. A killer of superheroes and the odd villain – Wally West Flash, Speedy, Poison Ivy and er… oh heck, I can’t remember. D-listers, mainly. The likes of Solstice and Protector – one obscure Teen Titan and a refugee from […]

Heroes in Crisis #4 review

So, what’s happening in DC’s big event? The first three issues told of how a bunch of superheroes were slaughtered at metahuman therapy centre Sanctuary and pointed towards Booster Gold and Harley Quinn as the likeliest of suspects. Here we get: One page of Tempest getting drunk in Hatton Corners, where Aqualad, Speedy and Robin […]

Heroes in Crisis #3 review

Heroes in therapy. That’s what we get as the third issue of Tom King and Clay Mann’s limited series opens. Lagoon Boy, The Flash, Booster Gold, reeling off name, tagline and how long they’ve been at Sanctuary, the treatment centre for emotionally battered super-people. Turn the page and there’s a shocking image. Is this the […]

Heroes in Crisis #1 review

A hero walks into a coffee shop. A villain follows. The villain orders dessert. The villain attacks the hero. A vicious fight takes them away from the coffee shop and out into the American heartland. Meanwhile, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, who have set up a facility to give heroes a place away from the […]

Batman #54 review

Dick Grayson has been filling in as Batman while Bruce Wayne was a juror at the trial of Mr Freeze. Jury service over, Dick could return to Blüdhaven. Bruce isn’t exactly full of explicit gratitude at Dick’s willingness to be there for him in the aftermath of his non-wedding to Catwoman. But neither does he […]

Justice League #7 review

The Justice League are facing several problems. Actually, ‘problems’ is understating things enormously. There’s new villain team The Legion of Doom. The mystery incursion they’re calling The Totality. The predicted end of the Multiverse in a year’s time. And the evil planet Umbrax that’s out to pull a corrupted Earth into its evil galaxy. I […]

Catwoman/Tweety and Sylvester #1 review

Hubble bubble, toil and trouble… a conclave of witches are having a night out. And a bit of a disagreement. What does best flavour the witches’ brew? A fat cat or a basted bird? To settle the matter, a representative of each creature category is sent to the Earth realm. The pussy drops in on […]
