Batman Reborn: Detective Comics #854 Review
by
DC Writer: Greg Rucka Art: J.H. Williams III, Cully Hamner Colours: Dave Stewart I must confess that I had no real interest in the new Batwoman fronted Detective Comics, and only bought the issue for J.H. William’s art. But I’m glad to be proven wrong. Greg Rucka’s work on this series has the making of…

Dark Reign: Amazing Spider-man #598 Review
by
Marvel Writer: Joe Kelly Art: Paulo Siqueira, Marco Checchetto, Santos Colours: Jeremy Cox After a spate of mediocre standalone issues and the pointless ‘24/7’ arc, Spidey’s assimilation into the Dark Reign event has given the series a much needed shot of adrenaline. For anyone left dangling by last issue’s shocking cliff-hanger, I think it’s fair…

Dark Reign: Punisher #6 Comic Review
by
Writer: Rick Remender Artist: Tan Eng Huat Colours: Lee Loughbridge One of the most enjoyable facets of Dark Reign, this rebranded Punisher: War Journal has so far been a blast.

Dark Reign: New Avengers #52 Review
by
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Art: Billy Tan, Matt Banning, Justin Ponsor, Chris Bachalo, Tim Townsend, Antonio Fabela Ever since New Avengers started back in 2005 I’ve generally felt a bit apathetic towards the title. Brain Michael Bendis just doesn’t do Marvel’s team books as well as his more personal labours such as Jinx, Alias, Powers…

Batman Reborn: Batman and Robin #1 Review
by
DC Comics Writer: Grant Morrison Artist: Frank Quitely Colourist: Alex Sinclair When DC Comics gave Grant Morrison the keys to their multiversal kingdom, it must have seemed like a winning strategy. Given his reputation as the “reboot guy” on titles like Animal Man and Doom Patrol, it made sense to let Morrison re-jiggle the DC…

New Mutants vol 3 #1 Comic Book Review
by
Writer: Zeb Wells Pencils: Diogenes Neves Inks: Cam Smith, Ed Tadeo Colours: John Rauch Having fully excavated the nineties, Marvel is now digging deeper in the hope of replicating the success of the recent X-Force reboot. The New Mutants, a title perhaps most famous introducing both the character Cable and the polarising talents of Rob…

The Flash: Rebirth #2 Comic Book Review
by
DC Comics Writer: Geoff Jones Art: Ethan Van Sciver Colours: Alex Sinclair As someone who dips in and out of the DC Universe while keeping one foot firmly in Marvel territory, it continues to amaze me how DC make no effort whatsoever to open up their new titles to the uninitiated. By bringing back Barry…
