  • Robert Kanigher

    On the fifth anniversary of Steve Whitaker’s death, we present for the first time the 1989 interview he and Tim Bateman conducted with legendary comics scripter and editor Robert Kanigher.

  • Leader of the Gang?

    Brainiac 5 risks his much-vaunted ‘super-brain’ by antagonising the galaxy’s premier telepath on account of her ladybits…

  • That’s Taking It Too Far…

    “Scenes From The Sex Wars” shows us Superboy ruminating on the impossible vistas of parallel worlds…

  • Talon 0

    Kudos to James Tynion IV and Scott Snyder for providing adequate infodump for new readers – that, after all, is one of the things these “Zero Issues” are supposed to be for. What they’ve sadly failed to do is make us care about the subject of all this data.

  • The Dark Knight Rises

    For those who favour soundbite explanations, this final part of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy comes across as a mash-up of David Fincher’s Fight Club and Brecht’s anti-Nazi allegory The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui. (Contains spoilers.)

  • Before Watchmen

    Unless something goes terribly wrong, this is going to end up being the best comic eventy thing since Seven Soldiers of Victory that either Marvel or DC have produced. But I don’t want to encourage you to buy them new, because I don’t want this to be a success.

  • Voodoo 1-5

    Our heroine is a hybrid of humanity and the Daemonites, who sent her to Earth to gather Intel on the superhero community, and circumvent the obstacles said heroes would present to a Daemonite invasion. And of course the most practical, least obtrusive way to achieve this is to make your sleeper agent a shapeshifting supermodel stripper who telepathically plucks secrets from denizens of the nearby New Orleans military base while she gives them private dances. Hey, don’t look like that; it could work …

    Deadman wants answers. Rama Kushna, the goddess who tasked him with possessing souls in need, has told him that when he’s satisfied some karmic balance, he’ll find enlightenment.
