Scarlett Johansson is certainly getting more adventurous in her film roles. Following up Under the Skin and her return as the Black Widow in Captain America: The Winter Soldier (both still in theaters), Johansson stars as a woman forced into the role of drug mule whose cargo gives her super-powers allowing Lucy to turn the tables on her oppressors. Written and directed by Luc Besson, Lucy also stars Morgan Freeman, Amr Waked, Min-sik Choi, and Pilou Asbæk. The action-thriller opens in theaters on August 8th.

The Shadow #24

/ / Comics

The Shadow #24The series’ two-issue finale begins here with a string of unexplained deaths in Chinatown and the coordinated rise of the recent undead by an unknown force planning on taking control of New York City. The unexpected horror-element is a surprise as The Shadow dismisses reports of the walking dead only to be attacked by a mob of zombies.

Although The Shadow learns why some in Chinatown believe the dead are rising from the grave, I’m betting the answer is far more nefarious and complicated than simple ceremonial burial practices. Given all that the unusual adventure has to reveal in a single issue, however, I wonder if we’ll be given the full story or if part will be left untold.

With Howard Chaykin on deck to write and illustrate a six-issue mini-series taking place in the late 50s following up the conclusion of this ongoing title, it’s a little unclear where the character goes from here, but I’d be surprised if Dynamite didn’t have future plans for the vigilante who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men. Worth a look.
