Darth Vader #22

Darth Vader #22In this issue Darth Vader fights a Rancor. And not just a Rancor, but a cybernetically-engineered monster sent by its creator to slow Vader down. What more could you want?

Okay, there is also some story here as Vader slowly carves his way through the enemy ship searching for the traitor Cylo. Despite besting the man’s scientist and all cybernetic threats to block his bath, the Dark Lord of the Sith is outmanuvered as Cylo’s plan comes to fruition and the renegade is able to steal the new Super Star Destroyer Executor right from under Darth Vader’s nose. I’m guessing the Emperor won’t be pleased.

Despite Spencer (Troian Bellisario) choosing not to involve Toby given his engagement party, Emily (Shay Mitchell) does just that. However, given the events of the end of the episode it’s a choice that all of the Liars may live to regret (and likely Officer Cavanaugh as well).

Mockingbird #4

Mockingbird #4Mockingbird is one of the few (arguably the only) Marvel Comics character whose appearance in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has improved the character. Largely a second-stringer, Bobbi’s new popularity helped to get our gal her own solo series. Opening in Kazakhstan where the same pathogen dormant inside her wiped out an entire species of antelope, Mockingbird #4 takes us along on Bobbi’s search for answers into an A.I.M. rip-off’s secret underwater laboratory. And while she’s there, why not spend the time to save Hawkeye who somehow got himself captured by the science soldiers of T.I.M. (Total Idea Mechanics). Seriously, no Marvel hero should ever let him live this down.
