Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - The Girl in the Flower Dress

The S.H.I.E.L.D. team is on route to Hong Kong to rescue a street performer (Louis Ozawa Changchien) with the ability to create and control fire who was abducted by a woman in a flowered dress named Raina (Ruth Negga) who Coulson (Clark Gregg) and his team discovers has ties to the Rising Tide which brings Skye‘s (Chloe Bennet) loyalty to the team into question. When Skye identifies the hacker (Austin Nichols) who sold out the asset to Raina’s people who have plan to enhance the street performer’s powers turning him into a soldier (at least that’s the line they sell him), Coulson diverts the jet to Texas and goes searching for answers not all of which he will like (which includes Skye helping the hacker evade capture).

Supergirl #24

Supergirl #24As the disembodied spirit of Supergirl fights to regain her body, Brainiac attacks I’noxia, and the restored Zor-El discovers his mistake at sacrificing his daughter to regain his own humanity.

Supergirl #24 wraps up the Cyborg-Superman storyline with the return of both the New 52 versions of the villain and the comic’s heroine. Although the planet is lost to Brainiac’s attack, Supergirl’s ordeal has cured her of the Kryptonite poisoning and both Kara and Cyborg-Superman are left unaware of the true series of events that allowed to regain her form as the villain, loosing the knowledge he gained as Zor-El, believes Brainiac’s attack is the cause of the experiment’s failure.

The comic ends with an appearance of an Oracle and the introduction of a Supergirl/Action Comics crossover (something I’m not too excited about) featuring “The Return of Krypton (something I’m really not excited about). I enjoyed this arc, but it may be time for me to give this comic another short break. Worth a look.
