Shadowhunters - Awake, Arise, or Be Forever Fallen TV review

“Awake, Arise, or Be Forever Fallen” pushes events forward to the show’s looming season finale in two weeks. First, after an attack on Max (Jack Fulton), Jonathan (Will Tudor) is forced to push up his timetable and attempt to steal the Mortal Mirror before they young boy can awake. Second, despite the recent turmoil, the return of a rival, and the drama over a mundane being turned into a wolf, Luke (Isaiah Mustafa) reasserts his dominance over the pack (although tipping off his partner about the dark world underneath the surface). And last, given an ultimatum by the Seelie Queen (Lola Flanery), Magnus (Harry Shum Jr.) must balance his feelings for Alec (Matthew Daddario) against doing what is best for the Downworlders.

Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider #5

Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider #5 comic reviewKaine finally catches up to Ben Reilly in Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider #5. The comic is most memorable for the fight between the pair that takes up most of the issue. Despite his vow to kill the other clone, Kaine decides to let Ben Reilly live for now leading to a temporary halt in hostilities between the pair until Reilly can cure a sick child (who he neither knows how to cure nor really wants to).

Fans of both versions of the Scarlet Spider will get their money’s worth here seeing the pair duke it out in panel after panel. While a few panels are left over for Cassandra Mercury seeking out and confronting the person responsible for the recent attacks on her casino, the limited number of panels is mainly used to break-up the action between the two Peter Parker clones.
