The Book of Fennec Shand – In the Name of Honor
- Title: The Book of Boba Fett – Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor
- wiki: link
After getting off-track for a couple of episodes, The Book of Boba Fett concludes its season with a return to the main storyline involving Boba Fett’s (Temuera Morrison) attempts to become the new crime boss of Mos Espa and fight off the invading the Pyke Syndicate. Oh, and there’s that last-minute revenge for the Tusken Raiders (well, sort of). The finale certainly doesn’t skimp on action and offers the payoff of Fett riding his Rancor (something we were told was extremely difficult and didn’t see him train for even once). Most of the episode takes place in the streets of the city as Fett’s crew fights the superior numbers and firepower of the Pykes. Most of Fett’s crew, that is.

Batman • Superman – World’s Finest #1
Batman and Superman (and Robin!) are back together in a new World’s Finest team-up that gives me Batman in his classic 70s & 80s costume (with some unnecessary seams, seriously what is DC’s fetish with adding seams to all its heroes costumes?). Our main story features Poison Ivy and Metallo attacking Metropolis and Batman and Robin showing up to help the Man of Steel who ends up getting injected with Red Kryptonite.
The comic goes off in multiple directions here with a separate team-up between the Man of Steel and the Dynamic Duo and also the addition of the Doom Patrol to help with an out-of-control Superman. There are some aspects of the story I enjoy, including character designs and Dan Mora’s art, although once Superman gets infected (which seems to be where the comic’s main storyline will be focused going forward) things bog down a bit.

Kung Fu – Year of the Tiger (Part 2)
- Title: Kung Fu – Year of the Tiger (Part 2)
- wiki: link
The two-part premiere continues, answering some of my questions from “Part 1.” Zhilan (Yvonne Chapman) finds a bit of her old spirit and leaves China, although it’s still unclear what her new path will be. Mia (Vanessa Yao) continues to be painted more of a frenemy that family for Nicky (Olivia Liang) as she continues to search for answers about her past. And Nicky’s plan to take down Russell Tan (Kee Chan) fails, but we do discover some clues to what the businessman is after in his theft of ancient relics.

Magnum Cop
- Title: Magnum Cop
- IMDb: link
Rereleased on home video as part of the Alpha Video Retrograde collection with VHS-inspired art, 1978’s Magnum Cop returns to DVD. The (poorly) American dubbed version of the Italian film Poliziotto senza paura, our story centers around former cop turned private investigator Wally Spada (Maurizio Merli). After inexplicably spending the first half-hour of the film in overalls, Wally locates a missing young woman who escapes again and turns up kidnapped and held for ransom.
More shyster than great detective or action hero, Wally tells lies both large and small to enlist local help in Vienna to find the girl while uncovering a secret sex trafficking ring of school-aged prostitutes turned out by a high-class stripper (Joan Collins). The film is more notable for Collins’ nude scenes than any plot or action.
