Review – Wonder Twins #1

Speaking as a twin, people sure loved to shout “WONDER TWIN POWERS ACTIVATE” in my general direction when I was growing up. In spite of that, Kathryn and I always liked the Wonder Twins: Super Friends was a pretty silly show (we knew that even in the 80s) but Jayna and Zan were cool, and

Review – Polar Volume 1: Came from the Cold

I’ll admit it, I didn’t think I was going to read this one. The art looked very spiffy but the story seemed like a James Bond/Sin City/Old Man Logan-style spy adventure, and while I like all those things, I didn’t need a new one. But Dark Horse very nicely sent a review copy of the

Review: Reign of the Supermen

DC Animated gave us quite a surprise in terms of quality when it comes to the Death Of Superman movie. I had zero interest in watching the flick – well until I found out that Peter Tomasi wrote it. If you haven’t seen the film please do so immediately, there is so much heart and
