Legends - The Legend of Dmitry Petrovich

Following the events of last season’s finale in which Martin (Sean Bean) was framed for a murder he didn’t commit, Legends begins its Second Season which is a major departure from the structure of the show’s First Season. Hiding out in London, Martin continues to try and piece together his past while searching for someone inside MI6 who may have answers to his past. The only other regular from the previous season to make an appearance is Morris Chestnut as Tony Rice who shows up in London under the premise of a vacation with his family in order to deliver his former colleague some intelligence which may aid Martin in his search.

Secret Six #7

/ / Comics

Secret Six #7Secret Six #7 is a bit of a Who’s Who of the mystical and magical side of the DCU as we’re introduced to a meeting of several of the most powerful members of this group including the Phantom Stranger, Deadman, Zatanna, Klarion, and others gathered together to discuss a mutual problem: Black Alice. The young woman’s ability to tap into and temporarily steal their powers has not gone unnoticed, but the real trouble with how Alice operates is that it leaves each member of the collective weakened and in turn is causing a weakening in the mystical defenses that are keeping out a looming threat too powerful to fight. Their solution, however, won’t sit well with the other members of the Secret Six.

The Librarians and the Drowned Book

After months of working separately around the globe retrieving artifacts for The Library, all the Librarians are brought together in New York City where a convergence of unusual items each brought to the attention of one of the Librarians, a pair of fictional characters brought to life by some unseen force, and an unusual storm all converge on a museum. The Second Season opener brings the cast back together, reminding both themselves and the audience that they all work better as a group (even if they do get on each other’s nerves). The choice of fictionalized villains, such as Prospero and Moriarty (David S. Lee, who comes close to stealing the episode), and the reminder that magic is very much alive in the world after the events of Season One, works to raise the stakes of what may be possible in the show’s Second Season.
