Once Upon a Time - Good Form

While Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin), and Regina (Lana Parrilla) resort to questionable means by pulling out the heart of a Lost Boy (Skyler Gisondo) and making him their slave to deliver a message to Henry (Jared Gilmore), Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) leads Prince Charming (Josh Dallas) on a fool’s errand whose true purpose is to save the life of Emma’s father. Although the cure works, magic always has a price and the Dreamshade‘s poisonous effects will only be put off as long as Charming never again leaves Neverland.

The Rocketeer & The Spirit: Pulp Friction #2

The Rocketeer & The Spirit: Pulp Friction #2The unusual team-up between The Spirit and The Rocketeer continues as the pair of heroes investigate the odd murder of a Central City man whose body was impossibly found in Los Angeles without enough time for it to be transported there under any conventional means. The autopsy reveals that isn’t the only thing shocking about their victims whose innards seem scrambled beyond comprehension and the man’s spirit seems to have somehow gotten trapped inside a television.

While dealing with these facts The Spirit and his new friend also have to take on an air assault on The Rocketeer’s home base which puts Central City’s hero high above the ground in action without the luxury of jet-pack or parachute.

Writer Mark Waid and and new artist Loston Wallace showcase each of the heroes’ girls as Ellen shares a tender moment with Cliff and one of the mini-series’ villains finally shows his face to offer Betty a starring role on this newfangled television contraption. Worth a look.

Tom Strong and the Planet of Peril #4

Tom Strong and the Planet of Peril #4Tom StrongVal Var Gram, and a small group of the world’s remaining heroes show up just in the nick of time to save a transport of increasingly scare humanitarian supplies from a biker gang. After helping turn the tide, Strong is able to negotiate a settlement between the two groups and continue on his way.

Most of the second-half of the issue deals with a conversation between Tom Strong and the wounded Cavalier (a rapier-wielding small-time hero who shares his own history with the science-adventurer from a parallel Earth). Along with filling in the hero’s origins, their conversation also touches on the subject of science vs. magic, and the ridiculousness of a man dressed like one of the Three Musketeers defending the Earth against attacks from giant robots and unstoppable plagues.

Although Strong gets no closer to answers, or even finding the man who could offer them, the early action and the conversation between the two heroes delivers another strong issue fans of the character should enjoy. Worth a look.
