Dark Nights: Death Metal – The Last Stories of the DC Universe #1 review

What do you do on the day before doomsday? If you’re the heroes of the DC Multiverse, you gather on the remains of a razed Earth, and find comfort in your friends. You declare love. You plan for war. You make your peace. You celebrate family. You find a way to do everything you wish […]

The Legion of Super-Heroes #9 review

On trial for being more proactive in United Planets affairs than President RJ Brande would like, members of the Legion of Super-Heroes defend themselves. At the forefront of the legal battle is Shadow Lass. Tasmia Mallor tells the delegates from member worlds that “… the Legion is a brilliant idea well executed by its members’. […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #4 review

It’s the 31st Century, Superboy Jon Kent has joined the Legion of Super-Heroes and it’s time to learn how the team was founded. His guide? The AI known as Computo. First, background on the founders, beginning with Imra Ardeen, a young woman on the moon of Saturn, Titan, where mental powers are the norm. Then, […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #3 review

When something great happens it’s natural to want to share it with your best pal. And Jon Kent is really enjoying his new gig as a member of the 31st century Legion of Super-Heroes, so why not bring Damian Wayne forward in time? Sure, he’s not been invited to join the team, but what harm […]

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 […]

Nightwing #50 review

Nightwing has been shot through the head. Not (Night)winged, properly shot. Some time later, we see Dick Grayson’s new life. He’s couch surfing without asking permission. Drinking, gambling and fighting for fun. Ignoring the entreaties of the woman who cares most for him in the world. And burning his superhero bridges. Literally. So yeah, this […]
