I mean, he is a martian. And he has been known to hunt men, I guess. But he's actually… The Iron Giant! Take a look from the new Martian Manhunter #1 out today… Last of his kind? Yeah, you were duped too… looks like those suspicious folks in the 1992 miniseries American Secrets by Gerard Jones and Eduardo […]
Paul Levitz used to be President and Publisher of DC Comics until everything changed and his job was split among five people. That was then. But during his tenure, he had to deal with an event that saw the All-Star Batman And Robin The Boy Wonder comic by Frank Miller and Jim Lee feature seriously strong swearing […]
Today's launch of Bizarro #1 features a variant cover by Kyle Baker. But surprisingly, it also featured a page guest drawn by the legendary Bill Sienkiewicz. Well, at least two thirds of it anyway, with regular artist Gustavo Duarte drawing the rest. What fun! Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London, who will be hosting Mike […]
In today's Action Comics, part of the DC You refreshment, we see an low powered Superman traveling the USA. And finding a rather intolerant place towards him, after Lois Lane's exclusive scoop. The one in which she outed Clark Kent and Superman as being one and the same. Even Midnighter had heard something about that […]
When the character of Cyborg was reinvented for the DC New 52 as a founding member of the Justice League he was a bit of a hulking thing. But in today's Cyborg short story in the back of Convergence: Crime Syndicate #2 sees the character going through a rather unpleasant double-arm-ectomy, amongst others, as he […]
Today's Justice United short story from some unidentified DC Comic book features a look around the whole DCU picking up folk who could be in the new Justice League United, at some point, who give their blessing to be called when necessary. And the last page gives a splash on all the folks who can […]
John Constantine, when introduced into the DC Universe, was a rare creature. One who aged in real time. Since his introduction in the early eighties, he went on to get old. To celebrate his birthdays. And to marry someone far too young. His time on this earth was marked, including his time as a punk […]
Apologies for the dismissive "red head" in the title, but this is Harley Quinn we're talking about here. And she's not one for human resources mandated sensitivity training in her new company. That's right, previewed in the back of today's Convergence: Plastic Man And The Freedom Fighters #2, we see a company of Harley Quinn-alikes […]
Three of the DC YOU June Previews are in contention for the "which is the most like Scott Pilgrim" award of the day. First up is Batgirl, appearing in the back of Convergence: Infinity Inc #2. Because it's all about games… Retro games even… With extra points for adding Gamergate relevance for exploring, briefly, women […]
I first mentioned that Superman and Wonder Woman would become a couple in the DC Universe for real, back in May 2011. A year and a bit later, it came to pass. In the New 52 of the DC Universe, Clark and Lois were never a couple. And recently, DC Comics did this to drive […]

DC Comics are running this promo in all their Convergence titles today, smack bang in the middle of the stories, naming the June mini-relaunch as DC You. Of course some witty folk have already inserted another word between DC and You. Let's say, for now, it's "Screw". Got to say though, a number of these books […]

Section Eight were the world's worst superhero team. Created by Six Pack, who had the power of being drunk, they appeared in the Hitman comic, from Garth Ennis and John McCrea. Never hitting the high sales, they managed to crawl to a very respectable sixty issues and were both shockingly silly, savage, scandalous and touching […]
