Titans #28 review

It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel… bored. Last week DC KO #1 told us Darkseid is coming and Earth will become a suburb of Apokolips. You know the kind of thing, hot, lots of demons. While heroes and villains battle in Skartaris, the not-so-lost-world-of-the-Warlord, to become the champion […]

Detective Comics #1101 review

Mikel Janín’s cover is beautiful. And chilling. It hooked me into buying my first issue of Detective Comics in quite a while. The positioning of Batman promises mystery. The floating figures inspire dread. The combination of colours attracts the eye beyond events hinted at in the image. I couldn’t open this comic quickly enough. Inside, […]

Titans #26 review

After their big battle with Deathstroke’s Crime Syndicate, the Titans are cleaning up, with help from fellow members of Justice League Unlimited. Wonder Woman sees an opportunity to clear the air with sister and Titans leader Donna Troy. One Titan who is swerving the hard work is Beast Boy, who plans a day at the […]

Titans Annual #1 review

Do you like a challenge? Try to get through this double-sized blockbuster without shedding a tear, or at least welling up. Because this isn’t an action-packed blockbuster, it’s an emotional one as Donna Troy takes us on a journey. It’s the history of the Titans as seen through Donna’s eyes, but it’s also a spotlight […]

Titans #25 review

Pete Woods’ striking cover, an acknowledged homage to Frank Quitely’s JLA: Earth Crime Syndicate image, is a fitting way to trail the conclusion to the current storyline. For months, master mercenary turned oddball obsessive Deathstroke has been building his own Crime Syndicate, comprising longtime Titans foe Mammoth, a back-from-the-dead Terra, an amped-up Clock King, a […]

Justice League: The Atom Project #6 review

It’s the finale to a series that has shown a certain consistency – it’s been consistently disappointing. I won’t repeat points made in previous reviews, optimism has kept me buying – let’s see if my fantastically open heart is rewarded. What’s been going on? Amanda Waller stole super powers from lots of heroes. The heroes […]

The Atom Project #5 review

I remember being sad when the runs of DC and Marvel mini-series shrank from six to five issues. Then came The Atom Project. I opened this chapter in the Justice League Unlimited spin-off feeling, frankly, thrilled it was wrapping up. Dang. There’s one more issue to go. Ah well, at least this was an improvement […]

Titans #19 review

Trying to summon a boom tube to reach the Justice League Unlimited Watchtower, Caitlin Snow is pleased by a rare display of Big Apple manners. Over the next few days, she’s feeling on the outs among socialising superheroes. Some super-folk who aren’t all in with the new League set-up are the Titans, who are eschewing […]

Shazam #19 review

There’s a lot going on as the Mr Mind storyline continues, with Mary Marvel confronting Georgia Sivana. Billy is having a heart to heart with the girl he’s been crushing on. And Freddy Freeman, also the victim of possession by the Venusian worm and cast down into the darkness, finds he’s not alone. And with […]

Justice League: The Atom Project #1 review

There’s a guy on a train, furtively moving forward as air force personnel question transport staff about someone they’re looking for. As they get close, he takes drastic action. Escape doesn’t look to be on the cards today, though. Flashback to three weeks earlier, when Ray and fellow Atom Ryan Choi were catching up with […]
