Disney’s Goosebumps series returns for a Second Season under the subtitle “The Vanishing.” The two-parter to kick off the season introduces to a group of kids who go missing after discovering something ominous in the deserted bowels of Fort Jerome.

Our main characters here are Cece (Jayden Bartels) and Devin (Sam McCarthy) who are relocated to live with their father Anthony (David Schwimmer) for the summer. The younger brother of one of the missing children, Anthony is better with plants than people, locking himself up with his basement focusing on his scientific research whenever possible.

Batman: Dark Patterns #2

As Batman: Dark Patterns my interest is leaning more to the art than the story. The second issue of the twelve-issue maxi-series offers the return and capture of the self-mutilated killer we saw in Batman: Dark Patterns #1 who Batman successfully captures. However, due to the incompetence of the coroner who Batman warned Gordon about in the first issue the character (who really only had a single-issue shelf-life for me) may be sticking around even longer.
