Universe 0
Writer: Grant Morrison and Geoff Johns
Artist: Every Artist DC Has
Publisher: DC
I’m really not sure why this issue exists. We had a whole 52 issue series in the form of Countdown to Final Crisis that was supposed to set up… Final Crisis. But apparently it didn’t. So we have Universe 0, which is little more [...]

The second episode of the fourth season of Doctor Who brings back Catherine Tate in her role from the Season 3 Christmas special as Donna Noble. This episode has both the Doctor and Donna separately investigating a “revolutionary” diet pill.

Tate’s role in Runaway Bride was largely comedic which worked fine for that episode, [...]

Doctor Who returned for its fourth season with a visit to the Titanic. Not that Titanic, a space faring luxury liner named the Titanic. The Doctor, temporarily without companion is paired up with guest star Kylie Minogue.
Did I mention the new title music? I preferred the previous version, but it’s no big deal.

Countdown to Final Crisis #1
Writer: Paul Dini
Artist: Tom Derenick
Publisher: DC
So here we are. Finally the countdown reaches 1. And what do we get? An epilogue. As I feared this whole exercise hasn’t lead into Final Crisis at all. In fact the only really significant bit seems to be the death of the New Gods which [...]

The Slitheen were subject to a lot of fan criticism when they first appeared in Doctor Who Season One. The farting was regarded as childish (and it is). So I imagine the name of this episode will make a lot of people unhappy.

However while Doctor Who is intended to be for the entire [...]

Amazing Spider-Man #557
Writer: Zeb Wells
Artist: Chris Bachalo
Publisher: Marvel
The latest Spider-man storyline wraps up and I’m mainly just pleased it’s over. I’m not a fan of Bachalo’s art and Wells first contribution to Brand New Day really just didn’t do much for me. Not that it was bad, but I’m not that into Spidey fighting gods [...]

Booster Gold #8
Writer: Geoff Johns & Jeff Katz
Artist: Dan Jurgens
Publisher: DC

I’ve really been enjoying Booster Gold so far, and this current story (Blue and Gold) in particular. What makes that a little surprising is that I have no particular attachment to either Booster Gold or this particular Blue Beetle.
But what DC is [...]

Secret Invasion #1
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: Leinil Yu
Publisher: Marvel
So Secret Invasion is upon us. They hype has been heavy for the last few months, but Bendis has apparently been seeding his stories for years now with elements that lead up to this story. One of the big criticisms of Bendis’ last crossover event was that [...]

Astonishing X-Men #17
Writer: Joss Whedon
Artist: John Cassady
Publisher: Marvel
Whedon’s story continues its meandering pace this issue, though it does look like we might be getting close to a conclusion of some sort. The art is of course as good as ever, but this is a storyline that has just gone on too long.
I’m at the [...]

To avoid any confusion let me make it clear that I was lucky enough to be sent a copy of the Battlestar Galactica Season 2.5 DVD Boxed set for review. I made no promises about what I would say in that review in return for the review copy however.

One of the big selling [...]
