The latest machinations of Elena Federova (Morena Baccarin) involve her minions breaking a man out of prison and kidnapping a federal judge to bring her corruption to light. Of course this raises a very, very important question the show has no answer for. If it’s so easy for Federova’s men to get someone out of prison why are Sergey (Costa Ronin) and Owen Turner (Kamal Angelo Bolden) still languishing there?  Given that Sergey’s release seems to be one of the primary goals, it’s certainly odd that he remains in prison where circumstances could reveal his identity to the larger world.

Created by Doug Moench and Don Perlin in 1975, Moon Knight has offered several variations on the character of a mercenary with multiple lives turned into the avatar of the Egyptian Khonshu. The first episode of the new Marvel series plays up the character’s dissociative identity disorder by introducing us to one of his personalities who is only dimly aware other events are happening during his blackouts which leave him with vivid waking dreams and large gaps of missing time.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #290

/ / Comics

Set immediately after the Battle of Springfield, G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #290 offers another single-issue spotlight. This time around the subject of the issue is the elite Russian special mission force the Oktober Guard. The severe injuries to the team’s sniper in Springfield offers a look back in flashbacks to the origin of their transformation from regular soldiers to cyborgs.

In order to save one of their own, the Oktober Guard will need to raid Revanche and steal the robotic parts needed. Sadly, the group doesn’t realize they are walking into a trap before it is too late. While the Guard manages to make it out alive with the parts the came for, Revanche isn’t too worried about the theft as their control of the parts within the soldiers gives them an advantage for the future.

Red Sonja #7

/ / Comics

Kicking off a new arc, Red Sonja #7 opens with an introduction to Baroness Drang who has locked away Red Sonja in her dungeon for a week proving on drugged food and water which the She-Devil with a Sword has refused to consume. Meanwhile, Sitha is working with Kebra others to loot Drang’s treasure chamber bidding her time waiting to break out Sonja.

Despite being the beginning of a new story, it feels like we’re plunged into the second or third issue of an arc with Red Sonja #7, and I’ll admit feeling a bit lost as both Sonja and Sitha seem to have at least a week worth of tale untold with us jumping into the middle just in time for a weakened Sonja to faceoff with the powerful, but not all that interesting or well-developed, Drang and Sitha to come to the rescue.
