Defenders: Beyond #1

/ / Comics

A leftover spell from Doctor Strange calls forth a new group of Defenders in Defenders: Beyond #1. We begin with the reluctant Blue Marvel and add a confused America Chavez looking for answers about her past, a female Loki (obviously meant to remind readers about the Loki TV-show) who alone seems to relish the adventure, the mostly non-descript Taaia, and the Avenger Tigra. We don’t get into what the threat is large enough to call on the Defenders as the first issue is mainly about the reluctant characters (all except for Loki) being forced together into action by events well outside of their control.

Fairfax – Career Day

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Fairfax – Career Day
  • IMDb: link

Career Day comes to Fairfax and, not unexpectedly, things quickly get out of control. While both Derica (Kiersey Clemons) and Benny (Peter S. Kim) get interns with Girlbossier, and Derica is quickly fast-tracked as the new urban look for the company, Dale (Skyler Gisondo) gets assigned to Off-Brian and Truman (Jaboukie Young-White) has an unexpected reunion with Cerise (Camila Mendes) in the AI world of Welch’s. Each one has their own separate adventure, although Derica’s is the most notable for blackmailing the CEO (Annie Murphy) of the company for real change rather than just the appearance the corporation was all too pleased with.
