Kung Fu Panda - Blue Dragon Plays with Fire television review

Po (Mick Wingert) begins teaching his new students Nu Hai (Haley Tju), Bao (Gunnar Sizemore), Jing (Laya DeLeon Hayes), and Fan Tong (Makana Say) in the show’s second episode while also offering both the students and audience a brief history on the Chi passed to them from each of the Four Constellations. The twist here is that each Panda was given power that goes against their base instincts and will require them to master themselves if they have in hope in unlocking the power within.

“I am Legion!”

Legion - Chapter 24 television review

As Legion moves one-step closer to its series finale the show dispenses with several supporting characters. Once again, several members of David‘s (Dan Stevens) flower child army are used as canon fodder but the episode is also notable for several other deaths including Lenny (Aubrey Plaza) and Clark (Hamish Linklater). The former, distraught over recent events, takes her own life while Clark becomes one of many casualties when David attacks Division 3’s air ship in search of Switch (Lauren Tsai). During the attack Syd (Rachel Keller) also manages to use her powers and take control of David’s body, although she’s unprepared for the numerous other split personalities still walking around his head as the show’s title is uttered by the left-over shards of David’s conciousness.

Batman #75

/ / Comics

Batman #75 comic reviewBatman #75 feels very much like an Elseworlds story as we open to a Gotham City where Hugo Strange is the Police Commissioner and the Joker and Riddler are police detectives on the beat involving a double-homicide committed by Two-Face. Although there is a Batman working the streets, it’s the alternate version of Thomas Wayne whose back-up isn’t Robin but Gotham Girl. This is Gotham City, as designed by Bane.

I’ll admit I haven’t kept up to date on this Batman title recently, but piecing together what we see here it looks like Bane had used the Psycho-Pirate to take control of the city and make the various Bat-villains his stooges in keep control of things. As bizarre a concept as it is, the set-up is intriguing (even if I can’t really figure out how Thomas Wayne fits into this?).

Red Sonja: Birth of the She-Devil #2 comic review

The second issue of Red Sonja: Birth of the She-Devil features Red Sonja performing her duties as a protector of a caravan, including dealing with some unscrupulous (and rather dim-witted) thieves who thought it would be more worth their while to try and cash-in the bounty on Sonja’s head rather than fulfill their contract. I’d say they learned their lesson, but since none of them survived I’m not sure that’s the case.

Black Cat #2

Black Cat #2 comic reviewAs teased at the end of the series’ opening issue, the Black Fox has arrived to hire Felicia Hardy and her team for an impossible heist. Not every place in the Marvel Universe is easily broken into, and some are nearly impossible. The item of interest to the Fox lies deep within one of the most heavily guarded spots in New York, Doctor Strange‘s Sanctum Sactorum.

Picking up another loose thread from the first issue, enemies of enemies become friends as Ocampo is made an offer he can’t refuse.
