Darkwing Duck #3

/ / Comics

Following up the events at the end of the last issue, Darkwing Duck #3 offers new trouble for the city of St. Canard but no Darkwing Duck in sight. After a camping trip with Gosalyn that doesn’t go exactly as planned, Drake attempts to settle into domestic bliss with his adopted daughter and Morgana which it turns out is harder than you might expect for an ex-super-hero and his Transylvanian sorceress girlfriend with only a room full of memorabilia to remind him of his glory days.

  • Title: Leverage: Redemption – The Pyramid Job
  • IMDb: link

The Leverage crew tackles a pyramid scheme which has ensnared the granddaughter (Taina Dominguez) of one of Sophie‘s (Gina Bellman) old associates (Max Baker). “The Pyramid Job” plays on several common themes of Leverage: Redemption with Harry (Noah Wyle) getting in over his head as part of the con attempting to bromance one-half of the couple (Christopher Gorham) running the scam and teasing more information about Sophie’s past. It’s notable for the female-half of the operation (Virginia Williams) being smart enough to see through Sophie’s con, but not smart enough to realize she’s self-incriminating herself to her pyramid of mommy saleswomen. As for Sophie’s story, we learn a bit more about one of her largest regrets and get a mention of another man from her past foreshadowing more trouble for the team down the line.
