Sleepy Hollow - Paradise Lost

The Second Season of Sleepy Hollow returns from its mid-season break with its characters a bit lost. Taking place six weeks after the defeat of Moloch and the death of their son (John Noble), Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) and Katrina (Katia Winter) are far from reunited as a happy couple. Choosing to spend time apart, Ichabod has become obsessed with finding new evil to battle as his wife searches for a way to free Abraham (Neil Jackson) from the Horseman of Death. “Pardise Lost” forces both stories to converge as the arrival of a bloodthirsty angel (Max Brown) which will lead to conflicted loyalties and the revelation of an entirely new threat to the town.

Fables #147

/ / Comics

Fables #147Offering a brief interlude to the rising tensions between sisters, Fables #147 takes Rose Red back home to the house she grew-up in and offers her the opportunity to choose a peaceful path in nature rather than continue the road to war begun so many issues ago. Although momentarily tempted, Rose chooses forbidden knowledge

The issue’s other storyline involves Fabletown attempting to bring the immortal Prince Brandish to justice for the murder of Weyland Smith. Choosing trail by combat Brandish squares off against, and is quickly decapitated by, Lancelot. However, the prince’s unique medical condition doesn’t allow the contest to end causing serious confusion as to what happens next.

Should the pair be still dueling when Rose Red returns you have to wonder what her reaction to the odd scenario might be and if Lancelot’s realization that he is indeed Guinevere may come to pass as his attempt to take down a guilty knave his queen has pardoned might actually quicken the fall of the new Camelot. Worth a look.

[Vertigo, $2.99]

Scorpion - Kill Screen

Scorpion is called into action after Ralph (Riley B. Smith) inadvertently reveals the location of a CIA witness and his handlers on the dark web gaming site by breaking a game’s encryption and both he and his mother are picked up by an overzealous agent (Spencer Garrett) who believes the kid knows more about hacking the CIA database than he is letting on and may have helped designed the game that allowed the information to be transferred.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten #10

/ / Comics

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten #10The latest issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten begins Buffy realizing the duties and politics she’s been forced to take on since accepting ownership of the Vampyr tome. Meeting with everyone from new vampires to leprechauns, the Slayer’s sanity is tested. And, if that wasn’t enough, two old friends come to call.

Albeit for different reasons both Harmony and Clem have been fan favorites for quite a long time but haven’t been given that much to do since the end of both Angel and Buffy‘s TV runs. Issue #10 changes that with Harmony’s new master plan to change the book and rewrite magic in the world to her liking. Thankfully Clem, now in the role of her toadie, still has a conscience. Although he does grant one of Harmony’s bizarre wishes (no, not the crazy fanfic one) in deciding to make unicorns real.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten #10 proves to be an awful lot of fun capturing Harmony’s craziness. I hope to see more of each of them. And Buffy’s new position offers up all kinds of odd meetings that I’m sure the Season Ten writers will enjoy exploiting. Worth a look.

[Dark Horse, $3.50]

Gotham - Rogues' Gallery

After being disappointed by the first couple episodes of Gotham I decided to give the Batman-ish show a wide berth. News that Morena Baccarin was joining the cast as Dr. Leslie Thompkins and recommendations of others who thought the show had improved over the first-half of the season brought me back. Catching up on a few episodes I missed, and still quite concerned with a number of characters and plot points, I sat down to watch the mid-season premiere “Rogues’ Gallery.” The episode begins with Detective Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) stationed at the recently reopened Arkham Asylum as punishment where inmate outbursts and attacks on (and possibly by) patients have begun to concern the asylum’s director (Isiah Whitlock Jr.) who holds Gordon responsible for each breach in security.
