The Flash - The Trial of The Flash television review

While Central City is slowly being poisoned by a new meta-human who is unknowingly radiating nuclear radiation, Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) stands trial for the murder of Clifford DeVoe (Neil Sandilands) without being able to reveal the reasons behind his obsession with the man or the fact that DeVoe is alive in another man’s body (Kendrick Sampson). Unwilling to reveal his identity as the Flash, and unable to present much of a defense against a perfect frame without revealing his secret, Barry is quickly found guilty and sentenced to life without parole in the same prison where his father spent decades for a murder he didn’t commit.

Supergirl - Legion of Super-Heroes television review

Given the revelation that Reign may have a few friends of her own, it looks like Kara is going to need all the help she can get.

Supergirl #17 comic reviewMost of the action in Supergirl #17 comes from Supergirl‘s battle with the super-powered Starshame who takes a more murdery view of fighting crime than the Girl of Steel. The arrival of the DEO ends the battle prematurely, although not before Supergirl has the situation well in hand.

While not a consistent reader of this comic, I often forget how different this version of Kara is than that on the Supergirl television show (which it could take several notes from). While I don’t mind Kara being separate from the DEO, I’m completely unsure of the shadowy agency’s motives without her. And keeping Kara in high school where she has to worry about things like the boy who she’s not sure if she wants him to ask her to the high school dance proves far less interesting than a more independent millennial attempting to make her way in the world.
