Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne TPB Review
by
2011, DC Comics Story: Grant Morrison Art: Chris Sprouse, Frazer Irving, Yanick Paquette, Cameron Stewart, Ryan Sook, Lee Garbett Like Superman and Captain America before him, Batman was always going to best the Grim Reaper and return to the DCU – even though technically he was never dead. It was more a question of when…

DC Universe Online: Legends #1 Comic Review
by
DC Comics, $2.99 Story: Marv Wolfman, Tony Bedard Art: Howard Porter, Livesay, Adriana Melo, Norman Lee Colours: Carrie Strachan DC Universe Online: Legends sits in the rather unenviable position of being a comic book based on a video game based on a comic book.

Justice League of America #32 Review
by
Writer: Dwayne McDuffie Pencils: Rags Morales Inks: John Dell Colours: Pete Pantazis The fall of the Justice League empire continues, and with the upper tier members either resigned, deceased or on call, only John Stewart, Firestorm, Dr. Light, Vixen and Zatanna remain.

Justice League of America #31 Review
by
Writer: Dwayne McDuffie Pencils: Shane Davis Inks: Sandra Hope Colours: Pete Pantazis More than any other superhero group, the Justice League of America has always lacked a plausible reason for its continuing existence. The Justice Society is a family of crimefighters old and new, while the X-Men banded together as fellow outcasts. Even the members…

by
2006, DC Story: Jim Krueger, Alex Ross Script: Jim Krueger Art: Alex Ross, Doug Braithwaite It has always been one of those great contradictions that, despite the potentially omnipotent powers of the various Justice Leagues combined, the DC Universe is still very much like ours. Poverty, famine and political corruption still persist, and the superhero…
