Seven Secrets #15

/ / Comics

The contents of not one but two cases will be revealed in Seven Secrets #15, although there’s a lot of explanation needed of what exactly the final reveal means. The Sixth Case’s opening reveals a baby demon with the power to destroy, but instead just looks a bit lost, leading to the death of another of the Order and a strategic retreat by Amon to the land of Faerie where he may have just stumbled on some unexpected allies. Releasing a demon on the world, and they still think themselves the good guys?

Coming at the end of the issues is the reveal that the Seventh Case is actually empty. The Seventh Secret has been walking around for several years now. And, if the world is to be saved, he’s going to need to live up to his destiny. We now know why Anton is scared of Caspar, but (given we know his death is coming) how exactly will this play out?

Wolf Like Me – Episode 4

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Wolf Like Me – Episode 4
  • IMDb: link

After another public run-in, that gets a bit more comedic than it needs to (but still entertains), Mary (Isla Fisher) comes to dinner in an episode that suggests maybe having a girlfriend who is a werewolf isn’t the worst thing in the world. “Episode 4” continues to build on Mary’s relationship with Emma (Ariel Donoghue) and, despite his objections and insecurities that eventually drive her out of the house, Gary (Josh Gad) continues to fall for her as well. I will assume the final two episodes will explore if this relationship will work, and what happens when Emma learns Mary’s secret?

Legacies – Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost

  • Title: Legacies – Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost
  • wiki: link

The various drama at the school is put on hold in “Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost” as Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) and Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) torture Aurora de Martel (Rebecca Breeds) and, in Limbo, Alaric (Matthew Davis), Landon (Aria Shahghasemi), and Ted (Ben Geurens) make a deal with a genie getting three wishes that don’t go as anyone expects. The Limbo storyline, with its various twists, turns out to be the better of the two stories returning on character to his villainous alter-ego, one character back to the land of the living, but leaving two of them trapped in Limbo. As for the Hope/Lizzie storyline, I can’t help question whether Lizzie’s big breakthrough moment, leading to a team-up with Aurora), is merely another of Hope’s plans. I guess we’ll wait and see.

Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse #1

/ / Comics

Gwen Stacys everywhere. That’s the gist of Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse when Gwen gets unintentionally added as an ingredient to a super-villain’s plan to overwrite herself into classic Marvel heroes across the multiverse. The result? Spider-Gwen’s world goes wonky, and in other times across other dimensions we have the creation of characters such Thorgwen (that was the best name you could come up with?).

Looking forward, it appears the series will be an interlocked number of What If…? style stories eventually rolled into one. Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse #1 offers a wonky set-up to allow Tim Seeley and Jodi Nishijima to play with any version of Gwen they can think up while Gwen is forced to fight and work with aspects of her own personality writ large. Is it worth $5 a pop? Maybe, eventually, for die-hard Gwen fans.
