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 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 Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Si Spurrier | Art by Dale Eaglesham, Ian Churchill | Published by DC Comics I had an argument not long ago with a friend of mine who tried to persuade me that there were simply no new stories about Superman left to tell. I’m a huge Superman fan of course, […]
Written by Tom Taylor | Art by Bruno Redondo | Published by DC Comics These days you can get your comics info in all manner of ways. Publisher previews, sneak peeks from creators themselves, industry exposes, and so on. I put the greatest trust in the good old-fashioned word of mouth. Most of the books […]
Written by Geoff Johns, Jeremy Adams, Tim Sheridan | Art by Xermanico, Mikel Janin | Published by DC Comics Wait a cotton-picking minute. Flashpoint? Wasn’t that all just a well-received set of stories purely thought up to give a decent lead into the New 52? Sure, the Thomas Wayne Batman hung around, but that reality […]
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 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 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 Robbie Thompson, Dennis Hopeless | Art by Steve Pugh, Dexter Soy, Brent Peeples | Published by DC Comics Pretty much anything related to alternate worlds, multiverses, hypertime, Elseworlds or crises is guaranteed to pique my interest when it comes to DC books. My favourite DC stories have more often than not revolved around […]
Written by James Tynion IV | Art by Alvaro Martinez Bueno | Published by DC Comics | Format: Paperback, 200pp Everyone who was invited to the house knows Walter well, they know him a little, anyway. Some met him in childhood; some met him months ago. And Walter s always been a little off. But […]

Written by Tom King | Art by John Paul Leon, Bernard Chang, Mitch Gerads | Published by DC Comics DC of late has been absolutely flooding your monthly release lists with Batman and Batman Family titles, and I’ve been actively avoiding them. I love Batman, but I also love variety, and I think if we […]
Written by Tom King | Art by Jorge Fornes | Format: Hardcover, 304pp | Published by DC Black Label (DC Comics) Marmite. Only way to describe any book featuring Watchmen characters, or any ongoing series with Watchmen characters. Fans either go with it, or steadfastly refuse to read or acknowledge those books existence. I think […]
Written by Various | Art by Various | Published by DC Comics Ah, the seasonal DC 80 page giant, the source of must love and dislike down the years. As I’m sure everyone does, I love the fact DC puts out these Christmas/ Holidays/ Winter Specials, but I can’t escape the feeling that they used […]
Written by Jeremy Adams | Art by Fernando Pasarin, Matt Ryan | Published by DC Comics So big Flash fan that I am, and a huge Dr Fate fan to boot, that alone would be enough to make this a must read issue for this DC fanboy. What actually did make me pick this up […]
Written by Jeff Lemire | Art by Dustin Nguyen | Published by DC Comics This book was such a natural idea, it’s a wonder it has never been pitched before. Or maybe it has, and the time wasn’t right. Former DC boss Dan Didio certainly wouldn’t have green lit this book, he hated Dick Grayson. […]
Written by Jeph Loeb | Art by Tim Sale | Published by DC Comics So there I was a few days ago moaning at the lack of effort from Marvel, DC, and Image in putting out some decent quality stuff for Halloween. After all, Halloween and Christmas were the two big times of the year […]
Written by Various | Art by Various | Published by DC Comics You can tell Halloween is around the corner when the spookily-themed one-shots appear from all the comic book companies. I’m betting nobody wants to leave that money on the table. Let’s be honest, we’re all suckers for this stuff. I’ve been picking up […]
Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson | Art by Daniel Sampere | Published by DC Comics If someone ever said to me you can only read one character from DC going forward, everyone who knows me wouldn’t even need to hesitate before giving an answer. Clark Kent. I say Clark, as I love pre-Crisis Superboy almost […]
Written by E. Lockhart | Art by Manuel Preitano | Published by DC Comics (YA) I’ve written in previous reviews just how much I like these Young Adult books. DC haven’t exactly covered themselves in glory in a lot of ways in recent times (closing down Vertigo for one) but this division has been one […]
Written by Various | Art by Various | Published by DC Comics You know the score by now with these 100 page anniversary specials. They are a celebration of some of the most iconic characters DC has on their roster, with a nice blend of multiple covers by great artists, around a dozen stories by […]
Written by Robert Venditti | Art by Wilfredo Torres | Published by DC Comics If ever there was a book I was guaranteed to review, it was this one. I cannot put into words how much I love the original Superman film, and the Christopher Reeve version of both Kal-El and Clark Kent. I first […]
