Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Broken Promises TV review

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. puts its Ghost Rider storyline behind as it moves forward with S.H.I.E.L.D. dealing with an out-of-control Aida (Mallory Jansen) who has replaced May (Ming-Na Wen) with an android, attacked and murdered agents, and invaded S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters to get its hands on the Darkhold. Things don’t go exactly as planned for the android, who faces Mack (Henry Simmons) and all his anti-robot wisdom (from years of sci-fi movies), but the episode’s closing scenes show this storyline is far from over (and the android isn’t the one behind the search for the Darkhold).

Aside from Merlyn’s return, Green Arrow #14 is memorable for two things. First, an undercover Black Canary gets pushed into action as a member of the Seattle Police Department while snooping for evidence of Oliver being framed for murder. The second is the high body count Merlyn inflicts while fleeing from his adversary (including stabbing football players in their eyes with arrows).

Nova #2

Nova #2 comic reviewSam Alexander meets Richard Rider. Nova #2 brings the youngest Nova into contact with the recently resurrected one as the pair meet while fighting off an alien of unknown origin (who apparently isn’t so much defeated as forgotten about). After a short stopover at Sam’s place, the pair head out for a little space action which leads them Knowhere and an encounter with an old friend.

While the first-ever meeting between the pair isn’t all that memorable, Nova #2 does have its fun with the Novas’ interaction with Cosmo and writer Jeff Loveness’ lighthearted stab at Marvel and their level of ridiculousness while continuing to change the universe to make it all but unrecognizable for a character that hasn’t actually been gone all that long.
