Whatever Happened to Crimson Justice #1

/ / Comics

Feature heavy The Dark Knight Returns vibes, the opening issue of Whatever Happened to Crimson Justice introduces us to the world of a retired super-hero starting with a police commissioner and an unanswered Red Alert signal atop the police station used to once signal the city’s hero, Crimson Justice. The death of the commissioner, apparently by the hero’s archnemesis who also disappeared the same night decades ago, kicks off the issue in which his will reaches out from beyond the grave to contact the alter-ego of the former hero and make a plea for a city that still needs him.

MacGyver Monday takes us back to another adventure featuring science-adventurer Angus MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson).

With the Asajj Ventress arc complete, the show turns its attention to a new character from The Clone Wars. “The Good Life” acts as a backstory for Cad Bane (A.J. LoCascio) who we meet as a child living on the streets with his best friend Niro (Eric Lopez). The pair are taken advantage of by the leader of a gang (who looks an awful lot like who Cad Bane will grow up to be) who entices them to help out on a heist starting one’s life in crime while the other is caught by authorities.
