The Most Powerful Game in the Universe on the way

masters-of-the-universe-ios

IGN is reporting that He-Man will get a new lease on life (at least on iPhones and iPads) when He-Man: The Most Powerful Game In The Universe releases for for iOS later this Fall. With 27 levels the game will feature He-Man battling Skeletor, Beast Man, Mer-Man, giants, skeleton warriors, and more. There’s no word whether Trap-Jaw or Tri-Klops are included (two of my personal favorites), but I’m betting Stinkor and Moss Man didn’t make the cut.

Worlds’ Finest #5

worlds-finest-5-coverIt’s odd that Worlds’ Finest keeps running away from its biggest strength – the relationship between its two leading ladies. Although we get some nice moments with Power Girl and Huntress together, most of this issue is set aside to give us separate adventures for them both.

From Power Girl we get another story of her trying to find a way home for both Helena and herself. This one involves a super-accelerator and a robot from another dimension. And the comic continues the trend for Power Girl to lose most of her clothing for another issue. For Helena, we get an evening out at a Take Back the Night rally where the Huntress is called upon to stop a sniper from… doing something (the comic makes no attempt to give us a reason for the man’s actions).

Although neither story is bad, all of the best parts of Worlds’ Finest #5 come in the conversations between the two women between their stories and at the comic’s beginning as the heroes continue to test Kara’s powers to see how they might work differently in their new home. For fans.

[DC, $2.99]

While investigating a murder of a minimum wage day laborer working at an animal expo the team uncovers illegal animal trafficking.

Beckett (Stana Katic) and Castle (Nathan Fillion) link the murder of a young woman to a storage unit up for auction the next day. Unable to get a warrant for the unit, with the auction already underway, Castle is forced to outbid the other interested parties to the tune of $3,600 (and a promise to name a future character after the mother of one of the other bidders), but to solve the case they’ll have to figure out what item in the junk was worth killing for.
