Rick and Morty - The Jerrick Trap

Things get crazy when a bickering Rick (Ian Cardoni) and Jerry (Chris Parnell) have their minds swapped, quickly leading to the death of both and a garage computer “fix” which leaves both sharing aspects of each other’s consciousness. While the family is obviously concerned, the pair quickly adapt to their new normal with Jerry gaining a bit of Rick’s intellect and Rick gaining a bit of Jerry’s easy-going nature leading the pair to become a wacky crime duo without a care in the world. Well… without a care except for their family being kidnapped by gangsters. It’s as wacky as it sounds, and only gets more so when the pair eventually merge into one being.

Spine-Tingling Spider-Man #1

After seeing Spider-Man make short work of Spidercide in the open pages of Spine-Tingling Spider-Man #1, with some beautiful art by Juan Ferreyra, the first issue of this series moves in an entirely different direction as we won’t see Spidey for the remainder of the comic. Peter wakes up to find his landlord, Aunt May, and MJ don’t know who he is. His Spidey powers are gone. The Avengers won’t take his calls.

Archer - Mission Out of Control Room

Lana‘s (Aisha Tyler) choice to spend money on a state-of-the-art control room to control three missions simultaneously goes, of course, horribly wrong. Archer (H. Jon Benjamin) and Cyril (Chris Parnell) have little trouble in the least-stressful of the three locations where malware needs to be uploaded simultaneously (and Archer gets lucky, even in New Jersey). Zara Khan (Natalie Dew) and Krieger (Lucky Yates) also hit it off creating an unexpected friendship. Even the bickering Pam (Amber Nash) and Ray (Adam Reed) manage to fulfill their part of the mission. And Lana learns a valuable mission about leadership… then leaves her teams without methods of escape by listening to the only other employee who stayed behind (and gave food poisoning to all the techs). Whoops! Even with all of her fancy tech, an Agency mission proves to still be an Agency mission.

007: For King and Country #5

007: For King and Country #5 opens with a trigger-happy 009 and an assassination attempt James Bond barely survives in an action sequence that cover several pages. Unfortunately, Agent Clark isn’t so lucky. After that, it’s up to Bond to rally the troops once more in another attempt to take down Fromm and Myrmidon with his small support group of Felix Leiter, Linus, and Gwendolyn Gann, but with so much on the line, who can Bond truly trust as the series moves one-step closer to its conclusion?

The Fall of the House of Usher - Murder in the Rue Morgue

While the episode cuts from time to time back to the present, and once back to Roderick Usher’s (Bruce Greenwood) early days working for Rufus Griswold (Michael Trucco) which, honestly, I’m already out of patience for since they rarely do more than tease information they have no intention of actually providing, the majority of “Murder in the Rue Morgue” features the family coming together after Perry’s (Sauriyan Sapkota) death. We also see Arthur Pym (Mark Hamill) uncover the first clues to the involvement of our mysterious devil woman (Carla Gugino) while the show sets up two more deaths, the first of which will occur at the end of the episode in a sequence that is somehow both creepy and laugh-out-loud ridiculous when our evil woman, in chimp skins, beats the unlikable Camille (Kate Siegel) to death.
