Fairest #20

/ / Comics

Fairest #20Prince Charming and Nayalani’s story arc concludes with some background on Singh, the former maharaja who is responsible for all of Charming’s recent troubles, and a final showdown between the pair that leaves the villain dead and Charming with a roguish pirate look.

From the epilogue it appears Nayalani and Charming are both staying together and sticking around. I’m looking forward to the pair heading to Fabletown, and an inevitable confrontation with Charming’s ex-wife Snow White.

Although I thought “The Return of the Maharaja” got a little bogged down in the middle issues of what I felt was an unnecessarily long six-issue arc (four would have done just as well), the storyline ends with a pair of strong issues and characters I will look forward to seeing more of in the wider Fables universe. Worth a look.

Hawaii Five-0 - A'ale Ma'a Wau

Tim Daly guest-stars as a Texas Ranger who Five-0 believes is responsible for the death of both a limousine driver and mid-level drug dealer. The truth, however, is a little more complicated. Harper is actually threatening (not killing) his way across the island looking for his missing daughter (Kristi Lauren) who traveled to Hawaii with a friend (Brando Eaton) who has gotten the young women into all kinds of danger by agreeing to, and then messing up, a money drop with some very dangerous people.

The Michael J. Fox Show - Art

Although happy for their daughter Eve (Juliette Goglia) showing real excitement in one of her classes, Mike (Michael J. Fox) and Annie (Betsy Brandt) are concerned that it’s a photography class that’s mainly made of of shooting nude male models. Although outwardly supportive, each attempts to talk their daughter into something else (with mixed results as the pair end the night trying to break into the community center and steal their daughter’s art the night before the exhibit).

G.I. JOE: The Cobra Files #7

/ / Comics

G.I. JOE: The Cobra Files #7Flint breaks the news to his team that he’s decided to disband their group. While some of the team takes the news well, both Chameleon and Clockspring show their displeasure at Flint’s decision which puts both their futures in limbo.

While Chameleon apologizes for the recent romantic tinges of her relationship with Flint, Clockspring gets more wound up than usual thanks to Tomax who has absolutely no plans to let the JOEs throw him in the nearest gulag now that his usefulness as a consultant is at an end.

Escaping isn’t going to be easy for the former Cobra operative. Of course it helps that he’s gotten in tight with the team’s computer expert and invited a couple of friends (Firefly, Night Adder) to the desert and inside the JOEs’ secret base.

The tension which has been building in the mishmashed team since the first issue is finally boiling over. The only question is who will survive, and what side will some of them ultimately end up on? Worth a look.
