Spidey Super Stories #25

/ / Comics

Wayback Wednesday takes us back to another classic adventure of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. The main story of Spidey Super Stories #25 pits Spidey against an evil twin created by Doctor Doom. It’s just the kind of wacky adventure you’d expect from the comic with Spidey battling his doppelganger before destroying the mirror which hid Doom’s evil twin-making machine (and for some reason destroys the twin?) and capturing Doom. While the logic at the end may not make much sense, it’s still quite a bit of fun with evil Spidey wearing a reversed-colored costume and looking for trouble.

  • Title: NCIS: Hawai’i – Past Due / Dies Irae
  • wiki: link / link

For the two-part season finale the show taps into a case from Tennant‘s (Vanessa Lachey) days in the CIA. Opening with Tennant being found at a murder scene, the leader of the team spends little time with them over the two-part episode as she heads halfway around the world for answers in search of a ghost she believed was killed years ago. The episode gets Whistler (Tori Anderson) into the field helping Tennant, although getting left behind at times, while leaving Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami) to worry at after both her boss and her girlfriend (who doesn’t exactly blend in to her surroundings).

Batman: The Brave and the Bold #1

/ / Comics

Batman: The Brave and the Bold #1 launches a new anthology series showcasing Batman and other DC Heroes. However, rather than getting new short stories every week, the concept instead looks to provide separate stories spanning multiple issues, that shouldn’t get confusing. The notable story here is the first part of “Batman: The Winning Card” which attempts to provide the first Batman/Joker story in a Year One adventure of the Batman. Although it eventually provides a memorable creepy moment when the Joker shows up, the story has a few too many parts for its limited page count and is completely disjointed with threads that don’t initially feel connected.

Dave – Met Gala

  • Title: Dave – Met Gala

We don’t get nearly enough of Chloe Bennett in “Met Gala,” who is limited only to the opening scenes spending time with Dave (Dave Burd). Notable for a number of celebrities playing themselves, the episode instead focuses on Dave’s desire to make a splash at his first Met Gala where nothing really goes to plan. The only silver lining for Dave in an evening of suprises and a failed spectacle stunt, is unexpectedly hitting it off with Rachel McAdams which sadly feels like early death bells for Dave and Robyn’s (Bennett) relationship despite how well its going between the pair. There are some other subplots involved, but I’ll admit my interest peaked with Bennett on-screen and lagged through much of the rest of the episode including the marginally-zany gala shenanigans.
