The Wild Storm #17 comic reviewJohn Lynch‘s trip down memory lane takes him to the most dangerous member of the Thunderbook project, although coming face-to-face with Rainmaker is nothing like what Lynch expects. Of all the dangerous human/alien hybrids Lynch has encountered, Rainmaker (originally the most dangerous) seems the most at peace with himself and the alien parasite that has driven the rest of Thunderbook crazy. As with the other members of Thunderbook, Lynch discovers Rainmaker has also passed on his genes implying another Gen13 character is part of the new Wild Storm universe.

Justice League Unlimited - This Little Piggy television review

Our Throwback Tuesday post takes us back to the animated adventures of Justice League. “This Little Piggy” is a hell of a goofy episode that features Wonder Woman (Susan Eisenberg) being turned into a pig by the sorceress Circe (Rachel York). Needing all the help he can get, Batman (Kevin Conroy) turns to his old friend Zatanna (Jennifer Hale) to try and break the spell. When that fails, he calls on a few C-list Justice Leaguers to hunt down both the Wonder Pig (who goes missing) and Circe. All of the bizarre antics later, including Wonder Pig wandering into a slaughter house, conclude with Batman paying Circe’s price for Diana’s freedom in a way that brings both Circe and Zatanna to tears.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - The Cosmic Comet TV review

Our Throwback Tuesday post takes us back to Eternia and the sword-wielding protector of Castle Greyskull. Created for the sole purpose of selling more He-Man toys, the first episode of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is bizarre. The core characters all get introduced here as Skeletor (Alan Oppenheimer) attempts to seize control of an evil comet to give him the power to break into Castle Greyskull and rule all of Eternia. To stop him, He-Man (John Erwin) and his friends Man-At-Arms (Oppenheimer), Orko (Lou Scheimer), and Teela (Linda Gary) will enlist the help of a washed-up wizard named Zagraz (Erwin) who helps create a twin for the comet filled with peace and love to help balance out its malicious nature. (Did I mention the plot to this one was pretty damn odd?)

The Dragon Prince - Book One: Moon TV review

The First Season of Netflix’s anime series The Dragon Prince, known as “Book One: Moon,” follows the adventures of two young princes and and Elvish assassin with an aversion to killing anyone, in the middle of a generational blood feud between humans and Elves that the trio hope to end by returning a stolen dragon egg back to the realm of magic. Although the opening episode “Echoes of Thunder” is pretty heavy in opening narration and exposition to set the stage for the events which will follow, the series builds momentum over its nine-episode “Book One” by focusing on the young protagonists of Callum (Jack De Sena), Ezran (Sasha Rojen), and Rayla (Paula Burrows) who push through initial distrust to work together and begin their journey.
