Two stories driving “Blair Foster” as the Task Force continues to try and avoid Senator Clayton Dorf (Wayne Duvall) and Congressman Arthur Hudson (Toby Leonard Moore) who go to a judge (Tonye Patano) in order to find more information about their budget, and aren’t stymied by her refusal.

Green Arrow #2

/ / Comics

The second issue doesn’t attempt to make sense or shed light on events of the first issue.

Hailed by fans and critics as one of the best Spider-Man movies ever created, is it possible the sequel to 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is even better? Yes, yes it is. Shifting the focus more on Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld) this time around, giving her equal star treatment along with Miles (Shameik Moore), Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is not only a great super-hero film but throws out the expected battle a new big bad by instead offering an existential discussion on what it means to be Spider-Man.
