We Are Lady Parts - Represent / Sparta

The final two episodes of the first, and perhaps only, season of the witty and heartfelt We Are Lady Parts revolve around the release and backlash of social media influencer Zarina’s (Sofia Barclay) article about the band that no only outs Amina (Anjana Vasan) to her friends but also paints the group as anti-Muslim radicals leading to a crushing wave of social media hate landing on the band. The fact that article hits on an already emotional day for Saira (Sarah Kameela Impey) leads to the implosion of the band, Amina returning to her pre-Lady Parts life, and leaving Momtaz (Lucie Shorthouse) to pick up the pieces and try to put the band back together.

Red Sonja: Black, White, Red #3

Red Sonja: Black, White, Red #3 offers three more separate tales of Red Sonja in black and white… and red. The third issue of the anthology is notable for offering not one but two separate tales without any dialogue.

The only tale with dialogue, “Small Tales,” is notable for having a character that won’t shut-up when Sonja comes across a young girl who manages to momentarily snare Sonja in a trap. Our heroine helps the young girl home, only to discover she is not the orphan she claimed to be but a runaway who hoped to meet her hero.

“Dawn of a Crimson Day” from Gail Simone offers snapshots across Sonja’s timeline, beautifully rendered by Walter Geovani, giving us Sonja as a child and a distant future featuring a one-eyed She-Devil with a Sword continuing her adventures.

The Lost Symbol - The Araf

Professor Robert Langdon (Ashley Zukerman) and Katharine Solomon’s (Valorie Curry) treasure hunt continues in the second episode of the series as the pair get some assistance from a mason (Tyrone Benskin), and friend of Katharine’s father, to elude the CIA and figure out what their next move should be. The “big” reveal here is that the incomplete pyramid is a map to this mysterious portal and translating it has something to do with a Bible verse. Um, okay. Meanwhile, Peter Solomon (Eddie Izzard) makes marginal progress in an escape attempt, only to be dragged back into captivity, and the mysterious Mal’akh (Beau Knapp) offers Langdon an ultimatum about his travelling companion (which doesn’t make much sense if he wants Langdon to succeed as he’ll need all the help he can get).

Only Murders in the Building - How Well Do You Know Your Neighbors?

It’s not surprising that the episode centered more on Oliver (Martin Short) would be the goofiest episode of the series so far. Along with flashbacks to the director’s notorious Broadway flop (“Splash: The Musical”), we also get a look into Oliver’s mind as he attempts to cast the killer for the podcast much the way he would a Broadway show with various suspects trying out on stage. His first idea for star fizzles out, and it’s not until the very end of the episode that he thinks the podcast may have found its leading man in one of the apartment building’s most famous residents.
