Moon Knight: Black, White & Blood #3

Three more bloody tales of Moon Knight in black, white, and red are collected in Moon Knight: Black, White & Blood #3. The craziest, and least interesting story for me, finds Moon Knight fighting aboard a spaceship in “Astronauts.” It’s weird but not as much fun as Moon Knight in space sounds. However, it’s the other two tales where you will get your money’s worth.

The Terminal List – The Engram

  • Title: The Terminal List – The Engram
  • IMDb: link

The first episode of The Terminal List introduces us to Lieutenant Commander James Reece (Chris Pratt) and the operation overseas to take down a terrorist which goes bad, leaving almost all of his men dead. Reece gets his bell rung during the ambush by the locals, showing signs of a severe concussion throughout the remainder of the episode and setting him up as an unreliable narrator for what will follow. After returning home, Reece’s accounts conflict with the audio recordings of the missing, leading him to believe someone has doctored the mission logs (but we are never given a viable reason why someone would do this as events aren’t changed overall, only the member of the unit who triggered the trap is different than Reece’s recollections).

Defenders: Beyond #1

A leftover spell from Doctor Strange calls forth a new group of Defenders in Defenders: Beyond #1. We begin with the reluctant Blue Marvel and add a confused America Chavez looking for answers about her past, a female Loki (obviously meant to remind readers about the Loki TV-show) who alone seems to relish the adventure, the mostly non-descript Taaia, and the Avenger Tigra. We don’t get into what the threat is large enough to call on the Defenders as the first issue is mainly about the reluctant characters (all except for Loki) being forced together into action by events well outside of their control.
