Guardians of the Galaxy #1

/ / Comics

Putting off some heavy western vibes (maybe for this issue we should refer to them as the Guardians with No Name?), the Guardians of the Galaxy‘s new comic begins here with the team attempting to save the lives of those in a small town on a crappy little world on the far side of the galaxy. And what they are saving it from, it turns out, is their former friend… or whatever he has become.

Based on true events, James Norton stars as charming conman Robert Hendy-Freegard who ruined several lives over the years while pretending to be an agent of MI5. While alluding to several of his victims, the film focuses on a lawyer (Gemma Arterton) he seduced and stole from who worked to find and bring him to justice.

Will Trent – Bill Black

  • Title: Will Trent – Bill Black
  • IMDb: link

As “Bill Black” opens, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) is on his fifth week undercover attempting to work his way up to a mysterious drug kingpin known only as CK. While initially he seems an odd choice for an undercover agent, the episode showcases how well Will works out as as Bill, weaving much of his own backstory into the character, eventually uncovering the head of the drug gang, even if it isn’t the person he hoped it would be. The twist of CK’s identity is handled well, with the choices being limited either to the missing cop or the woman who has caught Will’s eye. Will’s storyline ends in some fast and furious action as he has to fight his way out of the apartment building and get the drug dealer’s hostage to safety.
