Zatanna: Bring Down the House #4

Zatanna: Bring Down the House #4 offers a calm before the storm. The arrival of John Constantine allows for Zatanna to momentarily leave her current troubles involving the Casters and talking bunnies fighting over her as her ex whisks her away to Paris for a bit of R&R. This pause allows the story, and it’s lead character, a bit of room to breathe as well as catch up the reader on just what the hell is going on here and why everyone is after Zatanna.

The Old Man - XI

Episode “XI” feels a bit as if multiple episodes have been condensed into one due to time constraints. We get the conclusion of Dan Chase (Jeff Bridges) and Harold Harper’s (John Lithgow) time in Afghanistan, Angela (Alia Shawkat) choosing to stay and the death of her father, the return of Zoe (Amy Brenneman), Dan and Harold confronting Morgan Bote (Joel Grey), who never got developed as much as I would have liked, and also his murder. It’s an insane amount to somehow fit together in one episode, but it does allow the story to finish on another cliffhanger with Angela’s best chance now dead by the minions of Suleyman Pavlovich (Rade Serbedzija) who has overtaken both Hamzad (Navid Negahban) and Bote as our true villain (at least for now).
