Nova #1

Nova #1 comic reviewNova relaunches again (because apparently no one currently working at Marvel Comics comics can count past three dozen or so these days). While the focus is still on Sam Alexander as Nova, he’s no longer the only Nova in town. Richard Rider has returned from the dead. Although the details of his resurrection are pretty sketchy at this point, one thing is for certain – Richard isn’t the same guy who gave his life to try and stop Thanos once and for all.

The focus jumps between the two heroes focusing on Richard’s odd visions and Sam still trying to balance super-hero duties (such as helping out Ego) with everyday life (like remembering to wear clothes under his costume before flying to school). There’s plenty of humor here in Sam’s story, while Rider’s pages are more dark foreboding of trouble to come.

Doctor Who - The Sounds of Drums / Last of the Time Lords tv review

For Throwback Thursday we turn our attention back to the two-part finale of the Third Season of Doctor Who. Reintroducing one of The Doctor‘s (David Tennant) most feared enemies in the previous episode, “The Sound of Drums” and “Last of the Time Lords” focus on The Master (John Simm) biggest victory over The Doctor. Having just been elected Great Britain’s new Prime Minister, The Master uses the stolen TARDIS to create a paradox machine which allows him to turn over the Earth to the Toclafane, steal The Doctor’s regenerative energy, cage his rival, and bask in the knowledge of his victory and mastery (so to speak) over the Earth. The only thing he didn’t count on was Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman).

Longmire - The Judas Wolf

There’s a hell of a lot happening in “The Judas Wolf” which pushes Walt‘s (Robert Taylor) impending legal troubles to the back-burner for now, although the sheriff does get a lawyer and decide to fight the civil suit rather than settle. There’s the odd disappearance of a drug company CEO (David Burke) whose assistant is duct-taped to tree. While evidence points initially to wildlife conservationists who hated the man’s actions to wolves – including a local (Debra Christofferson) who cares more for wolves than people, in truth there is no scarcity of suspects including the his assistant (who is also sleeping with the CEO’s wife) and a woman screwed over by his company’s drug trials. However, after the CEO shows up in his own bed with his kidney forcibly removed, the case takes another unusual turn.
