More inspired by than adapted from the National Treasure films, the first episode of National Treasure: Edge of History introduces us to twenty-something puzzle solver Jess Valenzuela (Lisette Olivera) and her group of unimpressive friends. Although Jess has a familial tie to treasure, which we see in the opening scenes taking place two decades earlier, she’s completely unaware of them and lacks decades of yearning to see a quest completed. For her, the adventure begins when her boring day job leads her to cross paths with former FBI Agent Peter Sadusky (Harvey Keitel) who starts her on a quest involving an ancient treasure protected by the Freemasons.

While making use of a tremendous amount of archival footage, it touches on all aspects of the artist’s life championing his experimental nature without ever needing to rely on talking heads to explain specifics instead allowing Bowie’s own words to do all the heavy lifting.

Hellboy in Love #2

/ / Comics

“Goblin Love,” the opening two-part story to the five-issue mini-series concludes with Hellboy and Anastacia capturing one of the goblins who stole her artifacts from the British Museum. True to the name of the series, we get some more flirting between the pair as their adventure continues its danger leading into a swarm of attacking birds and then an auction of unsavory folks bidding on items like those that were stolen.
