Reel Hooligans versus Wonder Woman
A few days back I sat down with some Reel Hooligans to talk Wonder Woman. Take a listen.

Darth Vader #1
- Title: Darth Vader #1
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Charles Soule
- Artist: Giuseppe Camuncoli
Set earlier than Marvel’s previous Darth Vader series, the new comic begins shortly following the events of Revenge of the Sith with a newly resurrected Darth Vader sent out to prove his work to the Emperor and earn himself a new lightsaber. The logic of his mission seems a bit off, even for a Sith proving himself to his master, and I don’t know how I feel about the comic’s goofy explanation for where red Kyber Crystals come from.
While the setting allows for far more storylines than the previous comic (set between Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back) it also means we’re unlikely to see much in way of appearances of core Star Wars characters. The issue also includes a more humorous back-up story set far later in Vader’s timeline (mainly to justify a higher pricepoint for the comic).

Dark Matter returns for its Third Season with a premiere primarily focused on picking up the pieces of the crew of the Raza‘s failure in last season’s cliffhanger finale.

Thankfully for them, they have the Android (Zoie Palmer).

Jessica Jones #9
- Title: Jessica Jones #9
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
- Artist: Michael Gaydos
Things have hardly been easy for Jessica Jones since her new comic launched. Released from prison and working undercover to help Carol Danvers take down a dangerous threat, she finds herself right back in prison after choosing to antagonize Sharon Cater who comes calling when S.H.I.E.L.D. learns the missing Maria Hill has hired the private eye.
While the involvement here of Carter and S.H.I.E.L.D. brings the comic into the Secret Empire storyline it’s done in such a way that Jessica Jones #9 doesn’t really become a tie-in issue. The focus of the comic remains Jessica’s inability to take authority figures seriously, which lands her in prison until an old friend can manage her release, and her continuing attempts to repair fences with Luke Cage and put her family back together.

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to another episode from the First Season of Human Target. In “Lockdown” Christopher Chance (Mark Valley) is hired to break a scientist out of a locked private defense contractor facility where Martin Gleason (Kevin Weisman) is being kept against his will to work on a sensitive defense project. While getting in goes exactly to plan, getting both himself and his client out turns out to be far trickier as the pair have to sneak their way through building filled with guards and a high-tech security system determined to find them.
