Young Justice #19 comic reviewYoung Justice #19 offers a Wonder Girl issue as Cassie’s grandfather Zeus returns hoping to prompt her to accept the role required of her within the Pantheon and move away from her Earthly connections. Zeus appeared earlier in the series, laying the foundation for Cassie’s conflict trying to balance her responsibilities on Earth as well as Olympus. This time around, she’ll need to fight off mythic monsters and gods proving the comic’s two action sequences.

First she fights off Aegaeon, who she mistakes for being a lesson sent by Zeus, and later an army led by Poseidon who is actually behind everything and attempting to seize more power in the realms of the gods. Cassie gets a bit of help in each battle, as Zeus gives her the Harpe Sword to fight Aegaeon and her friends have her back when Poseidon comes calling.

The Boys - Proper Preparation and Planning television review

In an episode more notable for its creepy subplots, “Proper Preparation and Planning” does explain why the season premiere didn’t fill us in on Butcher‘s (Karl Urban) discovery at the end of last season. Apparently, there was nothing to tell. He saw Becca (Shantel VanSanten) and her son before being whisked away by Homelander (Antony Starr) who has apparently agreed to let Butcher live if Becca gives the psychotic pseudo-hero access to his son. Becca’s flight response is in overdrive, but she is trapped in the Vought compound by a company too scared to piss off Homelander by relocating her again. Becca isn’t the only woman pressured by a super-powered dick in the episode as A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) returns to fuck with Starlight (Erin Moriarty), especially once he notices her working on something shady behind the scenes.

Black Widow #2

/ / Comics

Black Widow #2 comic reviewSomething is obvious going on with Black Widow. Although she seems very happy in suburban bliss with a one year-old child and fiancé, Nat doesn’t recognize Clint who gives up keeping an eye on her from the bushes with the Winter Soldier and attempts to gauge just what is going on. She doesn’t appear to remember him, or her life as a spy or super-hero.

Arcade is obviously involved in what has happened to her, but he is not in control as a shadowy agency seems to have long-term plans for our heroine. And what does Red Guardian have to do with the situation? A chance encounter, or was it chance, in a dark alley saving a young woman from muggers and rapists seems to have awakened dormant skills with our girl, but not her memories.

Far Sector #8

/ / Comics

Far Sector #8 comic reviewSojourner Mullein has used the power of her ring to send herself into the digital realm of Atville in search of the cyber lifeforms known as @AT responsible for the hijacking biological lifeforms and the murder of Averrup Thorn. The Green Lantern’s time in digital space doesn’t last as long as I expected. In about half the issue, Mullein captures the @AT responsible but is no closer to who hired them.

We see the good and bad starting with Mullein’s digital battle and victory and ending with the prejudice and bureaucracy that reminds her so much of home if forces her to emotionally lash at at the Council who brought her to City Enduring.
