We are one third done and I don't know if I quite grasp this whole plotline. But this was a classic middle chapter, nudging the story along and making sure everyone knows what is going on. It does have a wonderful moment in the middle with Supergirl and Superboy. But otherwise, this felt a bit like treading… ## [Review: My Adventures With Superman S3 E10 The Return](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/08/review-my-adventures-with-superman-s3_0997243430.html) _2026-08-20 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ My Adventures With Superman S3 E10, 'The Return', aired this last weekend, the season finale for season 3 and possibly the show's final show. No season 4 has been announced yet. I can only hope that the we get more of this show because it (and this season in particular) has been astonishingly good. This season has been a sort of mash-up of comic stories - The Reign of the Supermen for sure given… ## [Hello Sunshine (VF)](https://www.comicstories.fr/hello-sunshine-vf/) _2026-08-20 · Boris · Comicstories_ Après Taproot, Keezy Young revient chez Bliss Editions avec Hello Sunshine, une œuvre dense et singulière des plus marquantes.

I have been attending the con since 2017 and I have always been impressed with it. From the venue to the guest list to Mitch Hallock, the con promoter, it never fails to be a great time. This year boasted some legendary creator names… ## [The Incredible Hulk (VF)](https://www.comicstories.fr/the-incredible-hulk-vf/) _2026-08-19 · Boris · Comicstories_ Après le génial run d’Al Ewing et le passage chaotique de Donny Cates et Ryan Stegman, c’est au tour de Phillip Kennedy Johnson de s’emparer de la destinée de Hulk !

I suppose better late than never. Adventures of Superman Book Of El #11 came out recently, the penultimate chapter of this epic tale and, unfortunately, the penultimate Superman book for Phillip Kennedy Johnson. It was way back in 2021 when PKJ was announced as the new writer on Action Comics. At the… ## [The Immortal Hulk – Tome 1 – Marvel Poche (VF)](https://www.comicstories.fr/the-immortal-hulk-tome-1-marvel-poche-vf/) _2026-08-18 · Boris · Comicstories_ A l’occasion de sa sortie en format Poche, jetons un coup d’œil dans le rétro sur le run d’Immortal Hulk d’Al Ewing, série évènement à l’époque de sa sortie et devenue depuis un classique. Ce premier tome contient les épisodes 1 à 8 de la série ainsi que les épisodes Immortal Hulk : The Best Defense et Defenders : The Best Defense qui sont anecdotiques. A nouveau sur les routes A l’été 2018, Al… ## [Review: Action Comics #1101](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/08/review-action-comics-1101.html) _2026-08-17 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ The first two parts of the Kingdom of Zod event came out last week. Action Comics #1101 is the second chapter and picks up where Action Comics #1100 ended with the return of Superman while sliding into the Zod arc. Last week I reviewed Supergirl #16 and talked about how I find the Zod plot confusing right now. And I don't know if this chapter makes any of it clearer. Zod has a Green K variant that… ## [Kit de survie – Semaine du 17/08/2026](https://www.comicstories.fr/kit-de-survie-semaine-du-17-08-2026/) _2026-08-17 · Boris · Comicstories_ Les affaires reprennent avec plusieurs belles sorties, notamment Home Sick Pilots que l’on attendait plus !

While I am thrilled that the opening chapter is in the Supergirl book, perhaps bringing more eyes to the title, I have to say this story starts off a bit rushed and confusing. I don't know if I quite understand what Zod is trying to accomplish here. I don't know why he isn't impacted by a ton of Green K around… ## [AI QA that opens fix PRs (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/fq3gBYzILjT0) _2026-08-14 · **Sponsored**_ Run a browser QA from plain-English instructions; get GitHub issues and optional fix PRs. ## [News from the fall out (VO)](https://www.comicstories.fr/news-from-the-fall-out-vo/) _2026-08-14 · Boris · Comicstories_ Annoncée en VF chez Delcourt pour novembre sous le titre Les échos de la bombe, l’une des dernières créations de Chris Condon s’est faite en compagnie de Jeffrey Alan Love, artiste au style hors norme.

From top to bottom, for me, this has been the best season of the show. It has been the blend of fun, whimsy, emotional growth, and character development that we have seen in the prior seasons. But… ## [DC Comics Solicitations - October 2026](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/08/dc-comics-solicitations-october-2026.html) _2026-08-12 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ The October solicits for DC Comics came out recently. Here is a link to see all of them. https://aiptcomics.com/2026/07/25/full-october-2026-dc-comics-solicitations/ DC does seem to be firing on all cylinders with a creative explosion that feels similar to the Legends -era explosion that came out of the Crisis on Infinite Earths era.

It also starts a new arc for the book with Superman trying to track down Brainiac and, it seems, running into new villains on the way. The last arc with Superman fighting Black Adam alongside Hawkman and Steel was a beautiful brawl spanning the world and the moon. This… ## [Is Ted OK ?](https://www.comicstories.fr/is-ted-ok/) _2026-08-10 · Boris · Comicstories_ Is Ted OK ? est la nouvelle création de Dave Chisholm, dessinateur, trompettiste et enseignant américain, qui a déjà créé plusieurs comics de fiction s’inscrivant dans le genre de la science-fiction ou dans l’univers musical ainsi que deux biographies de Miles Davis et Charlie Parker, toutes deux parues en France.

I can't help but feel that writers Ethan Park and Griffin Sheridan got the idea for this issue from the famous Swamp Thing #55 'My Blue Heaven' issue by Alan Moore and Rick Veitch. In… ## [G.I.

It was jaw-dropping. It was gob-smacking. It was insane. It was perfect. I am running out of superlatives for this show this season, walking a tight rope of silliness, comic homages, character growth, and epic action. How can it be all things and do them all well? How ?!?

We have seen in this book a World's Finest duo of Supergirl and Robin. We saw Jimmy Olsen and Batgirl. So why not Pa Kent and Alfred. Writer Mark Russell and artist Clayton Henry handle this main story where Pa and Alfred share their take on being a father to these heroes. In fact, part of this is… ## [PixelRift — Platforming with Level Editor (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/EiMzy5qJpTee) _2026-08-05 · **Sponsored**_ Includes a built-in level editor, campaign with elemental heroes, and boss encounters. ## [Valiant : Resurgence (VF)](https://www.comicstories.fr/valiant-resurgence-vf/) _2026-08-05 · Boris · Comicstories_ Après The Valiants, publié récemment par Bliss Editions, voici l’Event Resurgence, moment clé pour l’univers Valiant depuis sa reprise par Alien Books en VO.

This Jor-El is trying to be Superman combining his super-powers with his super-science to try make Earth a cleaner, safer place. And his heart seems to be in the right place.

This week in the Superman Annual 2026 , we get the story of what happened to him between the end of D.C.K.O. and the rescue. I'll start out by saying I liked this annual a lot. Writer Joshua Williamson and artist Eddy Barrows give us a pretty wild story, bouncing from… ## [Review: My Adventures With Superman S3E7: The Ex Games](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/07/review-my-adventures-with-superman-s3e7.html) _2026-07-30 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ My Adventures With Superman S3E7, The Ex Games, was another fun diversion after the brutal Cyborg Superman episode back in E5. But this wasn't just about the humor and another breath of fresh air. This episode pushed forward the underlying theme of this season. Who are you and who can you become? Clark is powerless and has been struggling greatly with who he is if he isn't Superman. Can he even… ## [Review: Absolute Superman #21](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/07/review-absolute-superman-21.html) _2026-07-29 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ Absolute Superman #21 came out last week and was an all-out melee and very satisfying ending to the Black Adam storyline. If you wanted to see what it would look like for two super-powered beings just laying into each other, this is the issue for you. I think I have said it before but this is on Dragon Ball level. As someone who doesn't mind seeing superheroes brawling (one of the first reasons… ## [Review: Action Comics #1100](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/07/review-action-comics-1100.html) _2026-07-27 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ Action Comics #1100 came out last week and was a sort of turning point for all the Superman books. As a result, this jumbo issue has elements of all the Super-titles and therefore has a multiple stories from all the writers of the super-books. We are closing the book on the Reign of the Superboys and we are heading into the Kingdom of Zod . The main story picks up the Superboy arc that Mark Waid… ## [Review: Superman #40](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/07/review-superman-40.html) _2026-07-24 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ I have been collecting comics for about 50 years now. Hard for me to wrap my head around that number. There have been times, looking at the long boxes in the comic room, that I have wondered if the time was right to stop collecting current comics, stop hitting the store on Wednesdays, and just relax and read all the old comics I own over again. Is it time to stop. And then comics like Superman #40… ## [Review: My Adventures Of Superman S3E6: Party Animals](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/07/review-my-adventures-of-superman-s3e6.html) _2026-07-23 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ My Adventures of Superman S3E6, Party Animals is a sort of rest issue after the violence and catharsis of last episode. The action is a little bit more muted but the character focus is high in this episode. But it is the characterization and character interplay is really what I love about this show. Frankly, after last episode, I need a breather, a 'rest issue'. Not that this is nonsense. All our… ## [McFarlane Silver Age Figure](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/07/mcfarlane-silver-age-figure.html) _2026-07-22 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ This has been a pretty crazy spring and early summer here with my moving into a new place and having a birthday within months of each other. With so much to celebrate and with the new shrine on display, I figured I deserved a new piece. A while back, McFarlane Toys came out with a Silver Age Supergirl figure and I was charmed. I have a bit of a soft spot for the earliest Supergirl stories with… ## [Ship software peacefully (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/kREuIVcKnBfe) _2026-07-22 · **Sponsored**_ Deploy apps from your repo with auto-config, instant previews, scaling, and monitoring. ## [Review: Batman/Superman World's Finest #53](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/07/review-batmansuperman-worlds-finest-53.html) _2026-07-20 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ Batman/Superman World's Finest #53 came out this last week, wrapping up the three part Warlord crossover story. As always with this book, there are a lot of fun moments. But this story never really grabbed me. Writer Mark Waid continues to do a great job with characterization in these stories for sure. In this one, it is Robin who gets the bulk of the work with our title heroes under a sorceror's… ## [Review: Superman Unlimited #15](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/07/review-superman-unlimited-15.html) _2026-07-17 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ The Kingdom Of Zod is about to explode onto the Superman Family which means the Reign of the Superboy stories need to end. And so we get Superman Unlimited #15 which sprints to the ending of the Tomorrow Man story, bringing about events and changes and deus ex machinas to basically get us back to where we at the beginning of the story. Truly, a lot of stuff happens here. Somehow Kryptonite… ## [Review: My Adventures With Superman S3E5 - The Death of Superman](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/07/review-my-adventures-with-superman-s3e5.html) _2026-07-16 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ My Adventures of Superman S3 E5, titled 'The Death of Superman', came out this week and was a high action, rather brutal episode for this series. If you are looking for the usual food jokes and whimsy the show is known for, look elsewhere. This is Zach Snyder meets Dragon Ball Z as the Super-family battles the Cyborg Superman to stop a dystopian future from unfolding. With Bizarro, the Cyborg… ## [Revamped Supergirl Shrine](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/06/revamped-supergirl-shrine.html) _2026-07-15 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ For those who don't know, I recently moved into a new home. That means setting up a new office/comic book room/sanctum sanctorum. It also meant packing up the Supergirl collection and bringing it all back out. I was excited to get the display up to give me a sort of anchor amid the unpacked boxes and piles of stuff. With the new set up established, I thought I would share it here. Rather packed… ## [DC Comics Solicits - September 2026](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/07/dc-comics-solicits-september-2026.html) _2026-07-13 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ Nearly a month ago, DC released their September solicits. But the Summer of Supergirl, an increase in super-titles, and the My Adventures With Superman show have pushed this post back to mid-July. Champagne problems. When there is so much Supergirl content that I have to shuffle posts, it is a good thing. Here is a link to the entire slate:… ## [Review: Supergirl #15](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/07/review-supergirl-15.html) _2026-07-10 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ Supergirl #15 came out this week, ending the Reign of the Superboys story as well as the Lesla Lar/Black Flame Kandor story at the same time. There is a lot to like about this issue as writer/artist shows once again that she understands the character of Supergirl. She is hopeful. She has compassion. She doesn't kill. But if she needs to knock some sense into you to defend the helpless, she will.… ## [Review: My Adventures With Superman S3 E4 - Guess Who's Slammin' to Dinner](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/07/review-my-adventures-with-superman-s3.html) _2026-07-09 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ My Adventures with Superman S3 E4 'Guess Who's Slammin' to Dinner' came out this week and propelled the storyline for this season forward in a fast way. New character, emergence of the main villain, and a cliffhanger that seems to preview the dystopian future we saw last episode. I was a little surprised at how fast this moved along until I realized that this season is only 10 episodes long. Turns… ## [Review: Adventures Of Superman: Book Of El #10](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/07/review-adventures-of-superman-book-of.html) _2026-07-08 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ Adventures of Superman Book of El #10 came out last week and that means we are but 2 months away from the end of the story. Knowing that, creative team of writer Philip Kennedy Johnson and artist Scotty Godlewski (with some pinch hitting by Vicente Cifuentes) don't have time for more world building and move towards the finale. Kryl-Ux is finally getting to gathering the aspects of Olgrun in hopes… ## [Review: Supergirl Survive #2](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/07/review-supergirl-survive-2.html) _2026-07-06 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ Supergirl Survive #2 came out this last week, continuing the story of a young Kara caring for a young Kal after Krypton was 'destroyed' in a complete nuclear war. I do like the overall concept of Kara and Kal rocketed off together (as opposed to separately in the current continuity) and seeing this young Kara use her wits to remain alive. Writers Ethan Parker and Griffin Sheridan grow this… ## [Review: Superman Father Of Tomorrow #2](http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2026/07/review-superman-father-of-tomorrow-2.html) _2026-07-03 · Anj · Supergirl Comic Box Commentary_ Superman Father of Tomorrow #2 came out last week, pushing the story forward quickly. Almost too quickly. I guess if this mini-series is going to tell us the life story of Jor-El on Earth, you can't dawdle. Last issue, Jor-El landed, befriended the Kents, spent years in hiding, and then revealed himself to the world. Looking on were grade schoolers Lois Lane and Lex Luthor. Writer Kenny Porter…
