When we last saw Kate (Sarah Shahi) she was being fired from the firm her father built by her wicked step-mother Lauren (Virginia Williams) in the First Season finale. With Reed & Reed on the verge of collapse not only does she appear to have her job back if she wants it (thanks to her brother’s proxies which give her ownership of half the firm), but she’ll also have to deal with an aggressive new lawyer (Ryan Johnson) Lauren has brought on as a partner.

Green Lantern #7

green-lantern-new-52-7-coverHal Jordan‘s refusal to take on the role of Green Lantern at Sinestro‘s insistence leads to the pair battling between themselves on the rooftops of Coast City. Although it raises Jordan’s ire, Sinestro can’t find a way to motivate the greatest Green Lantern to continue the fight even when he threatens Carol‘s life.

Their fight is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of the Indigo Lanterns who abduct the pair forcing Carol to go into her own closet and pull out a certain piece of jewelry she had decided never to wear again.

Part One of “The Secrets of the Indigo Tribe” is supposed to shed light on the last of the rainbow colored ring bearers but all we’re given here is more questions as Hal comes across a former (and very dead) foe who is now part of the tribe.

The Sinestro/Hal/Carol story continues to work but I’m less sure about where the comic seems headed next with the focus shifting to the Indigo Tribe and the Guardians search for “the first Lantern.” Worth a look.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine #7

btvs-season-nine-7-coverGiven her current situation Buffy decides to move out of her apartment (not realizing that both Anaheed and Tumble want her to stay) and onto the bug ship with Spike. Because, you know, nothing says normal like living on an alien spaceship with your undead ex-boyfriend.

When Detective Dowling finds himself overmatched with a vampire nest he pulls Spike away from an awkward heart-to-heart with Buffy. It’s the post-fight fallout however that will leave the vampire, and readers, stunned as writer Andrew Chambliss throws a huge curveball into a controversial, but very strong, story arc I’ve really enjoyed. I’m a little pissed at the decision, but I’ve got to admit I didn’t see it coming.

I’m not sure exactly what this means for Buffy’s pregnancy or her relationship with Spike, but from what we see at the end of this issue I’m going to assume things are going to get far more complicated before the season arc decides to answer either of those questions. Worth a look.
