Preacher - Damsels / Viktor TV review

After starting off the season with a strong pair of episodes Preacher crashes back to Earth. Well, they can’t all be winners. Believing their troubles to be over, but still in need of tracking down God, Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), Tulip (Ruth Negga), and Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) arrive in New Orleans. While Jesse fails to find much of use, Tulip’s past comes back to haunt her as she’s taken by Viktor‘s (Paul Ben-Victor) men. The pair of episodes offers quite a bit of wandering and extended sequences of not much actually happening up until the end of “Viktor” where a distracted Jesse goes looking for his missing girl leading to an all-too-obvious American Pscyho rip-off action sequence and a revelation of just who Viktor is to Tulip.

The Visitor: How and Why He Stayed #5

/ / Comics

The Visitor: How and Why He Stayed #5 comic reviewThe five-issue mini-series concludes with The Visitor: How and Why He Stayed #5 as the alien visitor struggles with loneliness following his wife’s death. Offered the opportunity to rejoin his people in space, after stopping the latest threat to the Earth, the Visitor chooses a different path. Seizing the opportunity to go out on his own terms, the alien’s final actions will finally lead to the Visitor coming face-to-face with the creature he was initially sent to Earth to kill.

It’s nice to see a brief interaction between Hellboy and the Visitor, although the comic could have come to a close just as easily without ever making Hellboy aware of the alien or his actions. Hellboy fans will likely appreciate the appearances of both Herman Von Klempt and Inger von Klempt as the final threat our alien protagonist faces before meeting Hellboy.
