Spider-Gwen: Smash #1

Having returned to her home dimension, Gwen sets off on a tour when The Mary Janes are hired to be the opening act for Dazzler and the Uncut Gems who it turns out are more interested in having Ghost-Spider around than the other band. After so much multiverse hopping, it’s interesting to see Gwen struggle to settle back down while questioning if home is still really home any more.

Batman #428 (Robin Lives!)

In the climax of 1988’s A Death in the Family the Joker killed Robin, but what if he didn’t? Part of the most unique marketing campaign ever considered for a comic book, DC Comics let fans decide whether or not Jason Todd should live or die. To meet the demands of publishing, and to hide the truth about which story was coming, two versions of the comic were created and printing was held off until the last minute. When the vote was tabulated and fans had chosen to let Robin die, that issue hit the stands and the other was put away… until now.

The Mission

The Mission tackles the preventable killing of missionary John Allen Chau whose death was caused by hubris wrapped in a flag of faith which even his own family saw as troubling. Buying into the Evangelical idea to forcibly spread the word of Christianity across the globe led the 26 year-old missionary fueled in part by propaganda on a hairbrained scheme of invading one of the most isolated islands left on the planet despite the obstacles in his way.

Asteroid City

Writer/director Wes Anderson leans into his quirks and fancies in this 1950s live television production of a play set in the fictional town of Asteroid City. We learn very little about the actors themselves. While most of the events take place in the play itself, characters occasionally break the fourth wall revealing themselves to be the production’s actors and occasionally narration will stop to explain information about the play’s writer Conrad Earp (Edward Norton).

Doctor Who - The Giggle

Apparently there are no rules left in the Whoverse worth following. To introduce our next Doctor, Russell T. Davies pulls out all the stops (some of which work, some of which don’t). Dusting off a classic Who villain in the Toymaker (Neil Patrick Harris), a powerful adversary from one of the lost Doctor Who serials, we get David Tennant‘s final (again… but not really) adventure as The Doctor. Sporting a pretty awful accent, Harris’ Toymaker is presented as a being of immeasurable power from somewhere outside the known universe who returns to toy with humanity for fun by driving them mad hijacking the first ever television signal with a creepy puppet. While the character has been referenced over the years in comics and novels, this is the first on-screen interaction with The Doctor the Toymaker has had since “The Celestial Toymaker.”
