Written by Mark Russell | Art by Mike Allred | Published by DC Comics A new Superman number one issue? Oh, go on then. One with a connection to the fabled Crisis on Infinite Earths? Definitely go on then. Mark Russell writing and Mike Allred drawing? You had me at Superman. This book genuinely intrigued […]

Welcome to the first in our new column 100 Word Hits, in association with comics retailer The Unreality Store, in which Matthew De Monti brings us short, sharp reviews of the latest books to hit comic stores over the past month or so! Blood Stained Teeth #2 Written by Christian Ward | Art by Patric […]
Written by Andrew Wheeler | Art by Travis Moore | Published by Image Comics This was a purely random pick-up from me, but one with some logic attached. Firstly, it’s Image, and lately that has been quite the mark of quality. There have been some great books coming out from them of late, and Marvel […]
Written by Peter David | Written by Alan Robinson | Published by Marvel Comics Everyone loves a supergroup, and that’s as true in comics as it is in any other field. Back in 1991, the biggest characters at Marvel were Gray Hulk, Wolverine (of course), Ghost Rider, and Spider-Man. Punisher too, but that version of […]
Written by Jeremy Adams | Art by Amancay Nahuelpan | Published by DC Comics If I had to review just The Flash and Nightwing books every month it wouldn’t bother me in the least. Both are great reads, both are consistently entertaining, and both manage both fan service and engaging storylines for new readers. The […]
Written by Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly | Art by Carmen Carnero | Published by Marvel Comics Been a while since I last checked in on a Captain America book, mainly because there’s so much other stuff going on comics-wise Cap’s become old news. No new Captain America movie/tv stuff (not including Sam Wilson of course) […]
Written by Celeste Bronfman | Art by Jose Maria Beroy, David Cabeza | Published by Titan Comics Rivers of London is always at its best when it is adding something new to something that already exists. A fresh take on something, making you look at something in a different way, introducing a new level to […]
Written by Joshua Williamson | Art by Daniel Sampere | Published by DC Comics Will there ever come a time when DC will retire the ‘Crisis’ label for whatever universe-shattering, er, crisis is just around the corner? I doubt it. I guess it’s the comic book equivalent of a movie franchise in some ways. Let’s […]
Written by K Perkins, Mellow Brown | Art by Fernando Dagnino | Published by Titan Comics So, here we are. The final issue in the book that promised to show us the origins of the Blade Runner unit. It’s been quite the ride getting here. At first, I wasn’t entirely sure how the story, set […]
Written by David Pepose | Art by Carlos Magno | Published by Marvel Comics Some books you don’t need, you don’t even want, until someone thinks them up and you think ‘oh yes’. If that involves Conan the Barbarian front and centre on the cover then even better. We are, of course, talking about Savage […]
Written by Charles Soule | Art by Ryan Browne | Published by Image Comics I was going to start this review by saying that I chose this book as I felt it was time for my indie fix, but then thought that was doing this book a disservice. It would be better to say I […]
Written by Celeste Bronfman | Art by Jose Maria Beroy, David Cabeza | Published by Titan Comics A couple of quick observations here before diving in. Firstly, it’s welcome back to Rivers of London, which is a book I have been reviewing since it first appeared in comic book form back in 2015 if memory […]
Written by Zeb Wells | Art by John Romita Jr, Scott Hanna | Published by Marvel Comics They say if you live long enough you see everything come around full circle. Flairs, stonewashed jeans, Spider-Man first issues… I can’t even remember how many first issues of Spider-Man books I both have, and have read. Do […]
Written by Joshua Williamson | Art by Rafa Sandoval, Jordi Taragona | Published by DC Comics From the cover alone I could tell that subtlety isn’t going to be a word associated with this book. The cover positively screams in your face. Death, destruction, anarchy, as a whole bunch of DC A-lister’s scream in pain. […]
Written by K Perkins, Mellow Brown | Art by Fernando Dagnino | Published by Titan Comics This has proved to be a book where a little bit of patience is required. The writers have enough confidence in their abilities, and in the attention span of their readers, to sometimes spread plots and developments out what […]
Written by Jeremy Adams | Art by Fernando Pasarin, Matt Ryan | Published by DC Comics Time for my semi-regular check-in on the Scarlet Speedster, review-wise that is. I always try to keep an eye on the book, as it has often been the touchstone for the current quality of DC books. Batman material sells […]
Written by Ron Marz, Andy Lanning | Art by Emilio Utrera | Published by Dynamite Entertainment Being a fan of 1940’s heroes and characters, I’ve loved the Project Superpowers books since they first appeared. It didn’t hurt having Alex Ross on board of course, as a designer/ plotter and cover artist. He makes anything look […]
Written by Joshua Williamson | Art by Viktor Bogdanovic, Daniel Henriques | Published by DC Comics I think the days of ongoing monthly books are numbered, judging by just how many monthly books these days from Marvel and DC are one-shots, limited series, or big event books. That’s not necessarily a criticism, because a good […]
Written by Larry Hamma | Art by Andrea Di Vito, Le Beau Underwood | Published by Marvel Comics Everything old is new again. The return of the Patch persona, from Wolverine’s Madripoor days, is another in Marvel’s recent nostalgia push. As their main line of books modernizes, with changes to characters and themes not universally […]
Written by Tyler Burton Smith | Art by Vanessa Cardinall | Published by Image Comics Always found it quite ironic that when Image Comics was founded, its aim was to out-Marvel Marvel. Sure, there was the important issue of creators rights and giving people more creative freedom, but the main idea was to earn the […]
Written by Mark Waid | Art by Dan Mora | Published by DC Comics Any time I see Mark Waid’s name on a Superman book, I’m buying that. With Mark Waid, you know you are going to get a fun, well thought out story that more often than not will involve a chunk of DC […]
