Suicide Squad #5

Suicide Squad #5 comic reviewWhile the issue shows us a bit of Waller dealing with the fallout of Red-X, teasing the possible introduction of Swamp Thing, and the growing insubordination of Peacemaker, most of Suicide Squad #5 focuses on a single member of the Suicide Squad and setting up a new arc for the Task Force X.

We catch up to Bloodsport on Earth-3. The mercenary has been used by Waller to scout alternate worlds and find valuable assets who can be drafted onto the Squad. On Earth-3, Bloodsport finds a smorgasbord as the world is controlled by the Crime Syndicate (alternate evil versions of our Justice League).

The Flash - Heart of the Matter (Part 1) TV review

As expected, The Flash pulls in several familiar faces for the show’s 150th episode which also acts as the first-half of the season finale. The various Godspeeds continue to war across the city. Team Flash’s plan to take them down fails and alerts Barry (Grant Gustin) to the fact that the Godspeeds have an added hate for Bart (Jordan Fisher). The episode does offer the return of John Wesley Shipp as Jay Garrick, although he’s mostly used as a hostage, as well as the return of one of the show’s recently departed cast members. Suffering defeat, with Bart in a coma and no plan on how to defeat the Godspeeds, Barry prepares to enter the mind of an amnesiac time-traveler (Karan Oberoi) hoping to find answers on how he can save his city and perhaps alter the future to keep his children safe.

Superman & Lois - Through the Valley of Death TV review

Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) has surrendered to Morgan Edge (Adam Rayner) to protect his family. Now his Kryptonian half-brother is attempting to overwrite Superman’s mind with that of Zod creating a partner to destroy humanity and bring forth a new Krypton. I’m still a bit foggy on why Superman needed a brother and why Edge couldn’t be just any random Kryptonian. Up until this point the pair’s shared biology has played no significant role in the storyline. Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch) rallies the troops whose plan is not to save Superman but use John Henry Irons‘ (Wolé Parks) tech to kill them both.
