Suicide Squad #2 comic reviewSuicide Squad #2 wraps up the opening two-part story “Assault on Arkham” as the Squad struggles to get out of Arkham Asylum with Talon. Although the mission is a success, not all the members make it back as the Squad drops two members to pick up one.

MacGyver - H20 + Orthophosphates + Mission City + Corrosion + Origins TV review

The penultimate episode of the MacGyver reboot introduces Ernie Hudson and Wendy Raquel Robinson as Bowser’s parents when Bowser (Justin Hires), MacGyver (Lucas Till) and Desi (Levy Tran) return home to deal with a death in the family. The episode fills in a bit of Mac’s past, revealing where he learned to to first apply problem solving to criminal cases, as well as clue-in Bowser’s parents on what he really does for a living as the group uncovers the death of a family friend was actually murder to hide local water pollution. The episode’s B-story continues the threads of the nanobots as Riley (Tristin Mays) snoops around the company that built them with the help of her hacker collective. With only a single episode remaining, it seems obvious where the focus of the series finale will be.

Far Sector #11 comic reviewThe City Enduring has exploded into chaos and with only 20% of her ring’s power remaining Sojourner Mullein is called into action to save the day. Denied their ability to vote, the @ are rebelling. Councilman Marth has staged a coup. And @BlazeofGlory has usurped power from the usurpers and is attempting to gain control of the city. Oh, there are also the bombs placed around the city by the Council to prevent something like this from happening, which have no started to go off, and the fleet of warships that just showed up. It’s been kind of a day.

The penultimate issue of the series sets the stage for an action-packed finale as Jo’s work is cut out for her. With no support, and the entire city on fire from multiple threats, she’ll need to work quickly in order to prevent the end of the City Enduring (and stopping @BlazeofGlory from looking at Earth to be a ripe new home).
