A Memorium in Four Colours – Jim Shooter

by Ian Wells

This week we say goodbye to a true, true titan of comics history, as Jim Shooter pulls his chair up to the great writing, editing desk in the sky. Normally, when I have been doing these obituaries, I have passed over divisive elements of people’s careers. I don’t believe Shooter set out to be divisive […]

‘Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #7’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Joshua Williamson | Art by Various | Published by DC Comics So here we are, the rather arbitrarily chosen issue number seven, the final part of the mini-series we were told would shatter everything we knew about previously shattered universes and multiverses. Overall it’s been consistently decent, but has lacked that certain something […]

‘Dark Crisis: Big Bang #1’ Review (DC Comics)

by Dean Fuller

Written by Mark Waid | Art by Dan Jurgens, Norm Rapmund | Published by DC Comics Dark Crisis as an event has been a bit hit and miss, both the main series and the various spin-offs. It has, though, maintained a respectable entertainment level overall, and of course the end game of all this has […]

‘The Death of Superman: 30th Anniversary Special #1’ Review (DC Comics)

by Dean Fuller

Written by Dan Jurgens, Jerry Ordway, Roger Stern, Louise Simonson | Art by Various | Published by DC Comics It’s hard to explain now, thirty years on, just what a huge event The Death of Superman was. It grew far beyond anything DC Comics could have imagined. It all started with that same old thing […]

‘Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #6’ Review (DC Comics)

by Dean Fuller

Written by Joshua Williamson | Art by Daniel Sampere | Published by DC Comics We are now approaching the endgame, and the stakes are as high as they will be. The entire Multiverse is at stake, and we are now in very familiar Crisis territory. The cover is superb, really evoking those mid-80s days when […]

‘DC’s Terrors Through Time #1’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Various | Art by Various | Published by DC Comics Although the 80-page giants generally have been pretty good, especially the wave of books we had celebrating various character anniversaries, DC of late have struggled a little with the anthology books. I should say it’s not just DC, but as once upon a […]

‘Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #5’ Review (DC Comics)

by Dean Fuller

Written by Joshua Williamson | Art by Daniel Sampere | Published by DC Comics The Multiverse is, it seems, dying. DC seem to be ripping up all of the Dan Didio restructuring of the DC Multiverse and returning things to closer to how they were pre-New 52, pre- Final Crisis, Pre- every Crisis. Joshua Williamson […]

‘DC Horror Presents: Sgt. Rock vs. the Army of the Dead #1’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Bruce Campbell | Art by Eduardo Risso | Published by DC Comics This is one of those projects that surely started with just a tagline. Something like ‘what if we had Sgt Rock fight Nazi zombies, and have Bruce Campbell write it.’ That’s ‘take my money’ territory right there, and personally I couldn’t […]

Written by Mark Waid | Art by Mahmud Asrar | Published by DC Comics I wish I wasn’t such a sucker for books like this but c’mon, who can’t resist picking up a book called this, with a cover like this, and featuring the blurb ‘father vs son for the fate of the DCU’. That […]

‘Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #4’ Review (DC Comics)

by Dean Fuller

Written by Joshua Williamson | Art by Daniel Sampere | Published by DC Comics And there you have it. DC had been pushing this event more than most, promising that it would be of huge significance going forward. Well, we’ve heard that quite a few times of late, so it’s fair to say that the […]

‘Dark Crisis #3’ Review (DC Comics)

by Dean Fuller

Written by Joshua Williamson | Art by Daniel Sampere, Daniel Henriques, Danny Miki | Published by DC Comics The best way to describe this book is the comic book equivalent of a summer popcorn action movie. Doesn’t lend itself to a whole lot of navel gazing analysis, but there are a lot of explosions, action […]

‘Dark Crisis #2’ Review

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 […]

‘Dark Crisis #1’ Review (DC Comics)

by Dean Fuller

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 […]
