Supergirl - The Adventures of Supergirl

With Supergirl moving from CBS and joining the other DC Comics television properties on The CW there were questions about how much the show would change. Picking up just seconds after the First Season finale, Supergirl kicks off its Second Season with a strong opener. The entire core cast returns with some important additions and minor tweaks. First, the DEO has moved from their lonely cave to a downtown skyscraper – and has a new employee in Winn (Jeremy Jordan) who is now in far better position to help Supergirl (Melissa Benoist). Second, the city is now also home to Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath), the stepsister of the world’s wealthiest federal prisoner. And then, of course, there’s Superman.

Lucifer - Sin-Eater

Lucifer (Tom Ellis) and Chloe‘s (Lauren German) latest case sends them after a punisher targeting those who have posted damaging videos on a social media site which have ruined peoples’ lives. At first angered by the competition, and then enamored with the level of vengeance, Lucifer’s true interest in the case comes from his mother (Tricia Helfer) questioning why he feels the need to punish the guilty even after he’s escaped Hell and why he continues to perform the same role God wanted even after escaping to Earth.

Jessica Jones #1

/ / Comics

Jessica Jones #1Given the popularity of the Netflix series it’s no big surprise that Marvel Comics has chosen to re-ream writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Gaydos whose Alias comic series provided the foundation for Netflix’s Jessica Jones. I’ve lost track of the character in recent years, so I was a bit surprised by the comic’s opening in which Jessica is released from maximum security prison without much detail of what she was incarcerated for or what earned her an early release.

Ready to get back to business and reopen Alias Investigations, Jessica’s attempts to find a client are interrupted by the repeated arrivals of Luke Cage‘s friends each offering pointed questions to Jessica about where her child is. Undeterred from questioning by both Misty Knight and Spider-Woman, Jessica keeps this secret to herself.

Once Upon a Time - The Other Shoe

Having already explored the origins of Cinderella in the show’s First Season, “The Other Shoe” takes a look at untold story of Ashley‘s (Jessy Schram) stepsister Clorinda (Mekenna Melvin) who, along with her evil stepmother (Lisa Banes), has been brought to Storybrooke from the Land of Untold Stories. Aside from delving a little more into Cinderella’s tale, the story’s main focus is to showcase an example of how the Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla) plans to used the strangers brought into Storybrooke to sew the seeds of destruction. In much the same way David (Josh Dallas) continues to obsess about his father’s coin and the truth about his passing which it turns out is more complicated than he always believed.

Green Arrow #8

/ / Comics

Green Arrow #8Green Arrow may be trapped on an island in the middle of the nowhere (again), but at least this time he isn’t alone. Green Arrow #8 begins a new story arc with Ollie, Dinah, and Diggle on a deserted island (which it turns out isn’t exactly deserted).

While Diggle is taken prisoner by a mechanical bear and dragged to underground lair, Ollie and Dinah reconnect and, thanks to their picturesque surroundings, are given the opportunity to have the kind of vacation neither hero would ever likely agree to. As to just who, and what, are on the island with them, we’ll have to await and see as “Island of Scars” plays out. Now that our heroes are back together, and have finished their brief respite, it’s time to get back to work.
