Lockwood & Co. - This Will Be Us

I enjoyed the first episode of Lockwood & Co. that introduced us to psychically gifted teenager Lucy Carlyle (Ruby Stokes) in a world where ghost are real and overrunning the world. Much of the first episode deals with Lucy’s training and her truly awful mother’s (Sandra Huggett) attempts to make money on the daughter she can barely stand before eventually Lucy runs away in an attempt to make her own path. While one of the school’s best students, an unfortunate incident which got several of her classmates killed and her best friend comatose, Lucy can’t find employment at one of the larger firms due to leaving before her training is complete which leads her to the door of Lockwood & Co.

A Deadly Invitation

Giving off strong Murder She Wrote vibes, Invitación a un Asesinato stars Regina Blandón as a famous true crime podcaster who her eccentric sister Olivia (Maribel Verdú) invites to a party along with several friends which will take place on her yacht and remote beach estate. In the kind of scene that only takes place in movies like this, Olivia provides motive for murder for all of her guests and when someone turns up dead Agatha (Blandón) will help a local police officer solve the crime.

Wednesday - Quid Pro Woe

No longer distracted by her parents, and using her friends’ attempts to celebrate her birthday by tricking them into some sleuthing, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) turns her attention on an image from a vision leading her to the abandoned Gates Mansion where someone has been recently staying. Already perturbed at being tricked and dragged into another adventure, Enid (Emma Myers) and Tyler (Hunter Doohan) are in an even less forgiving mood after being attacked by the monster. With no proof to show Sheriff Galpin (Jamie McShane), Wednesday finds herself in hot water with both the sheriff and Principal Weems (Gwendoline Christie).

Rick and Morty - Air Force Wong

“Air Force Wong” features a number of callbacks including Rick‘s (Ian Cardoni) unhealthy friendship with the President (Keith David) fueled mostly on loathing and petty jealousies that is only exasperated when the President takes a romantic interest in Rick’s therapist Dr. Wong (Susan Sarandon). Speaking of love in the air, the episode also features the return of Unity (Christina Hendricks) who takes over the entire state of Virginia just to get Rick’s attention after he ghosts her following their break-up. Attempts to control the spread of Unity spiral out of control when the needy President sees a way to take control of the hivemind and earn the love, and votes, of the masses.

Harley Quinn #33

Harley Quinn #33

I’ll admit picking up this comic only for the opening few pages which take place on Earth-26, the reimagined anthropomorphic Earth-C of my childhood, featuring the greatest heroes in the Multiverse. Our story involves someone targeting Harleys across all dimensions which leads to the death of Harely on Earth-26 and her girlfriend Python Ivy. Sure, the fact that when relaunching him no one bothered to see that Captain Carrot was a brown bunny rather than a white rabbit still sticks in my craw a bit, but the issue does give us his classic alter-ego in artist Rodney Rabbit.
