Is that Deadpool, in a tank, chasing a talking gorilla, across an isolated island in the middle of nowhere? Why yes, I believe it is!

Seriously, what else do you need to know? Not enough? Hmm… what if I told you the next scene involves Gorilla Man in a giant suit of armor bashing the tank in and… oh, don’t want to give too much away now do I? (But one scene does involving Deadpool lassoing a pterodactyl).

The latest team-up pits Deadpool and Gorilla Man against each other by a beautiful damsel in distress who, it turns out, may not actually be in distress, or beautiful, or, in fact, a damsel. Don’t you hate it when that happens?

[Marvel $2.99]

Darkwing Duck #4

  • Title: Darkwing Duck #4

Darkwing Duck‘s return to crime-fighting continues in an issue filled to the brim with baddies (Megavolt, Bushroot, Quackerjack, The Liquidator, and Taurus Bulba), surprises (guard dogs riding guard flamingos, an appearance of the GizmoDuck armor under the the command of Gosalyn), action aplenty, and even a cameo by Scrooge McDuck and his three nephews.

All in all, not too shabby. Oh, and did I mention we finally get an appearance of NegaDuck, too? Darkwing and the gang save the day, but it appears more evil is lurking in the shadows. Worth a look.

[BOOM! $3.99]

The Event

  • tv.com: link

Okay, let’s get this straight, NBC’s premiere of The Event was far from the mind-boggling, life-changing, epic TV-event that the network promised. Less than halfway through the first episode I’d already made a couple of educated guesses as to what the show is really about. The show definitely amped-up the tension, but for all of its cockteasing it told a very fractured, and only mildly interesting, story. You can check out the big secret ending below or watch from the beginning. I may give it a week or two but I’m very much in doubt that this one will live up to the hype.

Castle – A Deadly Affair

  • Title: Castle – A Deadly Affair
  • tv.com: link

Crime novelist Rick Castle and Detective Kate Beckett are back from their summer break, and I couldn’t be happier. Nathan Fillion is perfectly cast as the smug mystery novelist, and Stana Katic is just the right mix of smart and sexy. My only complaint with last season was the late swerve that kept them from getting together in the finale. Maybe this year? (I won’t hold my breath.) Anywho, the third season’s opener finds Castle in the doghouse with the NYPD and even arrested for murder.
