Suicide Squad #10

/ / Comics

The Suicide Squad‘s space mission comes to an end after a battle with Thanagarians, getting captured by Sojourner Mullein, and getting locked up in exactly the prison where Waller knew they would be taken. Making their way back to Earth with the package Waller wanted the issue ends setting up the confrontation between Waller’s squad and that of Rick Flag. May the best squad win.

The issue is a fair middle issue to a larger arc with the lowest body count so far (unless you count Culebra, who survives death yet again). It is notable for several cameos, more of Ambush Bug‘s fourth-wall-breaking narration, cementing Major Force as the most dickish member of the team, and making good on the romantic tension between Match and Nocturna (how exactly will this play out?).

The Mitchells vs. the Machines

/ / Home Video
  • Title: The Mitchells vs. the Machines
  • IMDb: link

Not all that dissimilar to The Croods, the odd The Mitchells vs. the Machines gives us a dysfunctional family with a young son and teenage daughter feeling too controlled by her family. The Mitchells also end up on the run, although the circumstances are, to be fair, far more bizarre.

Just days before Katie (Abbi Jacobson) is about to enter college, her well-meaning but overbearing father (Danny McBride) cancels her flight and plans a cross-country road trip hoping to bring the family closer together before she leaves. What the Mitchells couldn’t realize is after starting out on their trip the world’s biggest tech company would have their AI go berserk and begin the robot apocalypse. Now, while still dealing with their own drama, the Mitchells will attempt to save the world.

Devil’s Reign #1

/ / Comics

Wilson Fisk has declared war on super-heroes. The new mini-series cross-over event gives us a pissed off former Kingpin taking on Daredevil and anyone else he can inflict harm upon as a means of revenge against the guardian of Hell’s Kitchen who he knows, but can’t prove, has messed with his mind. Using super-villains as agents of the law, the Mayor of New York is targeting heroes including Daredevil, Moon Knight, Spider-Man, other Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones, and others. 

The idea of villains using politics to attack heroes isn’t a new one (most notably with DC’s Lex Luthor becoming President). By the end of the issue, Fisk has the heroes on the run as even to help pull New Yorkers out of burning buildings makes them a target for Fisk’s goon squad. The team’s solution… Tony Stark for Mayor? Um, okay?
