G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Silent Missions (Beach Head)
- Title: G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Beach Head #1
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Phil Hester
- Artist: Phil Hester
Honoring the original “Silent Interlude” issue from G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #21 from 1984, Image and Skybound are putting together a series of silent issue one-shots featuring different characters. While I didn’t enjoy it as much as G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Jinx #1, this one-off issue featuring a wounded Beach Head crashing down in a DMZ and being helped by a local woman and her child who he in turn helps with Cobra comes for him, has some nice moments by working around the need for foreign dialogue in an issue without any dialogue and then saving most of the action until the end with the Joe fighting to hold out long enough for his friends to arrive.

Watson – Take a Family History
- Title: Watson – Take a Family History
- IMDb: link
The past and present lies of Ingrid (Eve Harlow), including an incredibly coincidental connection to Mary (Rochelle Aytes), are brought out in the open when she’s forced to come clean after the sister (Kiera Allen) she snuck into the medical study starts to have complications. Even after bringing the case to Watson (Morris Chestnut) and the group, Ingrid attempts to initially hide what she’s done although eventually she’ll need to lay all her cards bare. We’re given extended flashbacks with younger actresses playing Ingrid and her sister (Amanda Arcuri and Beatrice Schneider) showcasing dark moments of the young woman’s past that put her onto her current path. Consequences of her current actions may make Moriarty’s (Randall Park) offer all the more appealing (which is really the point of the episode).
