Morning Glories #49

/ / Comics

Morning Glories #49The day has arrived. Morning Glories #49 brings three ongoing stories to a head as the student elections, the Towerball tournament, and the Science Fair all occur in the first-half of the two-part season finale. While both Casey and Daramount assume Ike cheated to allow Casey’s unexpected win, the comic teases something else by tying Casey’s speech, her fainting spell, the Cylinder, and the election results all together in something far complicated that stuffing a ballot box.

Just as unlikely as Casey’s win, Guillaume‘s plan to do the impossible and win Towerball with the Blue Team is equally successful suggesting fallout for both parties in next month’s issue.

The Grinder - Giving Thanks, Getting Justice

For the show’s first Thanksgiving episode The Grinder jumps back and forth through the turbulent current Thanksgiving holiday and Dean’s (Rob Lowe) crisis of faith during the Thanksgiving of his final year of making the show that made him a household name. Wanting to have a real family Thanksgiving for the first time in years, Dean meddles to arrange a dinner his brother wants no part of which eventually causes Stewart (Fred Savage) to explain why he hates the holiday, an unease which isn’t helped by the arrival of Dean’s surprise guest (Clyde Kusatsu).

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten #22

/ / Comics

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten #22The calm before the storm. Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten #22 takes a step back from the ongoing battle of Buffy and the Scoobies with all manner of demons being let into this reality by the stolen “Restless Door” to focus on relationships central to the series and lay the foundation for potential problems somewhere down the line.

While initially apprehensive, Willow finds the military’s offer to help use her unique knowledge of technology and magic to keep the worlds safe appealing. Buffy on the other hand is less inclined to forget her past dealings with the military as the comic teases a split between best friends who may be starting to grow apart. While the issue makes sure to bring the two women together before the end, the disagreement that caused the fight is far from settled suggesting it may return to raise its ugly head before the end of the season.
