While not nearly as fun as G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Saturday Morning Adventures, the first issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures #1 follows the same basic formula while attempting to recreate the enjoyment of a classic cartoon in comic form. Offering a single tale, the first issue of the four-issue mini-series gives us the misadventures of Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael who become trapped in a VR training program.

Andor – Episode 6

  • Title: Andor – Episode 6
  • IMDb: link

The sixth episode of Andor finally gets to the heist, although the show’s method of drawing events out unnecessarily continues even during the heist itself often flashing to events elsewhere on the military base or with the locals amassing to view the celestial event. The choice would seem to be done in attempt to draw out the tension of events even longer. However, the result is actually the opposite as editing of the episode continually undercuts and distracts from the events the show has finally gotten around to delivering. If Andor was a comic book series it would be a three-issue story stretched thinly over an entire year’s run where you could easily miss two or three months at a time and still have no trouble staying caught up with the story.
