Moon Knight – The Tomb

The appropriately titled fourth episode of the series gives us a Mummy-lite excavation into the tomb of Alexander the Great. There’s not much in the way of deciphering clues as Steven (Oscar Isaac) and Layla (May Calamawy) fight a creepy monster and then simply stumble around until the find what they came for. And, as foreshadowed, the truth about Layla’s father is revealed at an inopportune time as they also lead Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) straight to the prize.

Black Widow #15

/ / Comics

Closing out both the arc and the series, Black Widow #15 wraps up the “Die By the Blade” storyline as Natasha survives the Living Blade, thanks to some old friends, and gets her arm back, thanks to a new one. There’s plenty of action here even if the larger arc of the Living Blade feels cut short.

While not the run’s best issue, Black Widow #15 does offer a little bit of everything we’ve come to expect from the creative team including several of our heroes kicking ass while supporting their friend and more of Spider-Girl‘s wisecracking along the way (I’m pretty sure it’s Anya who I’ll miss most here). There are also a couple of surprises including the return of a recent foe whose own story looks far from finished. As for what’s next for Widow and the various members of her motley crew, well, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Moving the arc of the season closer to the return of Hope‘s (Danielle Rose Russell) humanity, Hope and the Super Squad work on game planning their upcoming conflict with the gods with the help of Vardemus (Alexis Denisof) and Wade (Elijah B. Moore). While the show goes for low-key training simulations, the moral of the story is that the squad has no chance against the gods under current circumstances forcing Hope to listen to the voice in her head gaining strength with every small victory. The simulations predict that Hope, with her humanity restored, can lead the team to victory, but the tribrid isn’t ready to take that step just yet.

Two investigations collide when the latest name on the Blacklist, who may have some involvement in Elizabeth Keen‘s death, turns out to be the same graduate student Harold (Harry Lennix) had the Marshal Service disappear into protective service because the man is somehow connected to the attempt to frame an Assistant Director of the FBI for murder.  The team quickly discovers the connection causing suspicion and distrust, and forcing Harold to come clean to them and Reddington (James Spader), and later Panabaker (Deirdre Lovejoy), about his recent actions.

Suicide Squad #14

/ / Comics

Amanda Waller has won. Now in control of Earth-3, she’s sent back Rick Flag and his team, and any of her own she no longer has use for, back home. However, the members of the Suicide Squad will soon discover that the absence of Waller will have large consequences to the Task Force X program which the government wastes time in defunding and attempting to destroy all evidence of its existence.

Left to their own devices, the various surviving members end up getting into all kinds of trouble as Peacemaker and Ambush Bug steal some more Bizarro Superboy clones, Rodriguez runs into some resistance while sneaking into a top-secret military base, and Mirror Master almost gets killed at least three times. The crazy antics of the Suicide Squad come back to normal bringing back some of the wacky fun of the earlier issues and suicidal new plan from the team’s leader.
