Astro City #33

Astro City #33“Things Past” continues as we spend more time with the reunited former super-villains Steeljack and Cutlass. The villain turned private eye passes some time sharing a few stories of contemporaries of theirs unable to give up the life and the cost each eventually had to pay. Steeljack also takes his old friend to visit the Fix-It Man, and that’s when things go all to hell.

As to the mystery of what is happening with Cutlass, that only deepens with the second issue of the arc which leads to the death of another old friend of Steeljack’s and to a schmaltzy villain-themed restaurant franchise whose owner must hold some answers about what is going on.

Top Ten Reasons the Star Wars Prequels Don’t Suck

Top Ten Reasons the Star Wars Prequels Don't Suck

No one is arguing they are as good as the originals. At least no one sane. That said, just because Episodes I, II & III aren’t as good as some of the best sci-fi/fantasy ever captured on film that doesn’t mean they necessarily suck. Sure there’s Jar-Jar, that awful speech about sand, the video game level that masquerades as the climax of Attack of the Clones, several questionable casting decisions, and a memorable “No” might all be damning evidence to the contrary.

That, however, is not what this list is about. If you can get beyond comparing the films to the originals there’s actually quite a lot going on in the three Star Wars prequels that is actually pretty damn cool. Don’t believe me? Need to be convinced? Okay, here are ten reasons why the Star Wars Prequels Don’t Suck (and I’m not even counting my longtime crush Keira Knightley as one of them).

After helping Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) bully Foggy (Elden Henson) into a war with the District Attorney by representing the Punisher (Jon Bernthal), Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) abandons his team to spend the evening with Elektra (Elodie Yung) and help her steal an important ledger from the Roxxon corporation during a party. Can you say spy sequence? By the end of the episode we don’t trust Elektra any more than Matt does, but we also have to admit that the two work well together (both in and out of costume).
