Batman #119
- Title: Batman #119
- Comic Vine: link
- Writers: Joshua Williamson, Karl Kerschl
- Artists: Mikel Janín, Adriano Di Benedetto
Batman‘s investigation in Badhnisia continues as he has a run in with Lex Luthor but as Batman and Bruce Wayne. After buying up Batman, Inc., now incarcerated for the murder of the villain Abyss (who it turns out is far from dead), Luthor has a preposition for Batman. One our hero doesn’t exactly take all that well.
The issue is notable for the Batman/Luthor confrontations (and planting the idea of Batman working for Luthor – God, this broke Batman shit is dumb), and Batman’s first run-in with Abyss who leaves our hero blind and bleeding out in a not-too-friendly police station as the comic comes to a close. Yeah, I’m sure Bruce Wayne has had better vacations.
The issue also includes an unrelated back-up story involving Mia Mizoguchi to try and justify the higher price and page-count.

Hellboy: The Bones of Giants #3
- Title: Hellboy: The Bones of Giants #3 (of 4)
- Comic Vine: link
- Writers: Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden
- Artist: Matt Smith
Hellboy: The Bones of Giants #3 offers the first face-off between Hellboy and the restricted Frost King Thrym which results in a draw when the Frost Giant retreated to build up his strength setting up a final confrontation in next issues’ series conclusion.
Aside from the giant, Hellboy: The Bones of Giants #3 also gives us the giant wolf Garm who our heroes come across feasting on the remains of a village as they continue their way north in search of Thrym.
Overall, it’s a solid middle issue to the arc with a couple of fun sequences but leaves the big action to play out in the four-issue mini-series’ conclusion.

NCIS: Los Angeles – A Land of Wolves
- Title: NCIS: Los Angeles – A Land of Wolves
- wiki: link
With the help of Hanna‘s (LL Cool J) visiting friend (Briana Marin), a short-staffed NCIS team searches for a missing Kensi (Daniela Ruah) who disappeared near the Mexican border while working undercover investigating a smuggling operation. It takes some time to make sense of a crime scene involving five dead who weren’t killed by the cartel but by a local militia group led by a cultish whackjob (Jolene Andersen) out to protect America from those seeking the American dream by gunning down unarmed refugees in the woods.

Mass
- Title: Mass
- IMDb: link
Written and directed by Fran Kranz, Mass offers an intimate setting to delve into two families’ pain. Six years after a school shooting, the parents of two children involved agree to meet in the basement of a local church. On one side we have Jason Isaacs and Martha Plimpton as the parents of one of the victims and on the other Reed Birney and Ann Dowd as the parents of the shooter who also took his own life. Both couples are still wracked with pain and seeking answers to a brutal event that changed both families forever.
Mass is a film designed to put its four characters, and the audience, through the wringer as both sides work through their pain attempting to make sense of a senseless crime as the family of the victim and that of the perpetrator discover a shared pain.
