Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps #3

Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps #3As Guy Gardner searches for information about the current state of the universe for the returned Green Lantern Corps, Hal Jordan battles and increasing number of Yellow Lanterns who Sinestro dispatches to take down his former pupil. Eventually the odds become too great likely leading to a confrontation between the pair in next month’s issue.

Heavy on action and mostly centered around Hal Jordan, the issue continues to paint the known universe under Sinestro’s rule as a dark place indeed. With Jordan captured and the other Lanterns still unaware about just what has transpired in their absence I’m curious to see if the focus of the next issue will switch more to Guy Gardner and his own solo adventuring or stick with Jordan as the main protaganist and he’s taken back to Warworld for another confrontation with his arch-enemy.

Elementary - The Complete Fourth Season

Following the setback to his sobriety, Season Four of Elementary features the introduction of John Noble as Sherlock Holmes‘ (Jonny Lee Miller) father Morland whose nefarious dealings will earn his son back his consultant job with the NYPD and become of great interest to Joan Watson (Lucy Liu).

Highlights of the season include the show’s unique take on The Hound of the Baskervilles, the introduction of Joshua Vikner (Tony Curran) as Jamie Moriarty‘s (Natalie Dormer) successor, Sherlock and Watson working for the FBI, Sherlock tying three FBI cases together with a kidnapping case that has more to it than anyone else suspects, the introduction of Watson’s half-sister (Samantha Quan), and the introduction of Sherlock’s new friend Mittens (Betty Gilpin).

Other crimes of interest include a staged murder leading to a double homicide, murder involving a survivalist bomb shelter, murder by mushroom, the murder of a whistleblower, murder over an old video game, and the murder of a dying scientist.

Blue Beetle: Rebirth #1

Blue Beetle: Rebirth #1Owing more than a little to Bryan Q. Miller‘s Batgirl run which put the younger hero under the tutelage of her retired predecessor, Keith Giffen offers us two Blue Beetles for the price of one. First off, I’m ecstatic to see Ted Kord back in the DCU complete with his Bug (if not his costume or partner in crime Booster Gold). Focused primarily on the adventures of Jaime Reyes as the Blue Beetle, I’m happy to see Ted carving out a new spot for himself in the background.

Scott Kolins certainly has a flair for drawing Reyes’ costume. And I appreciate the nod to Ted’s costume with his Blue Beetle t-shirt (even if I’d rather see him in costume – possibly in flashbacks?).
