While Mr. Benedict (Tony Hale) struggles with the news that his estranged twin brother is Dr. Curtain, the man in control of L.I.V.E.

Once & Future #24

/ / Comics

The runaway story continues to evolve as Arthur battles Arthur on the hills of Badon, which is saved by Zombie Arthur’s Merlin learning a trick or two from our heroes on how to turn a king against his favorite knight. And yet another Arthur appears to enter the fray. Any chance this one’s not as crazy and warmongering as the other two? Well, not if the pattern holds.

Meanwhile, after deciding freeing a crazed water god may not be the smartest idea, Bridgette, Duncan, and Rose look for a worthy warrior in the woods who has no love of kings. Enter Robin Hood, who just might be able to keep the various King Arthurs busy long enough for our heroes to come up with a plan.

  • wiki: link

More of “Chapter 3” takes place in the present as the Wookiee bounty hunter Black Krrsantan (Carey Jones) is sent to kill Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) by the Hutt Twins, Fett increases his small band by taking on some cybernetic youths who have been causing trouble in the city, and a new threat to the former bounty hunter arrives. The Wookiee’s failure leads to the rather quick exit of the Hutts, which is somewhat surprising. The introduction of the less-interesting Pyke Syndicate as the new threat to Fett ties into the flashback sequences as well providing us with the circumstances that caused the bounty hunter to leave his life with the Tusken Raiders.

Reacher – Welcome to Margrave

  • Title: Reacher – Welcome to Margrave
  • IMDb: link

Adapted from The Killing Floor, Lee Child‘s first Jack Reacher novel, Reacher introduces us to the title character by having the former military investigator turned drifter (Alan Ritchson) arrested in the southern town of Margrave, Georgia, for a murder he didn’t commit. While an alibi eventually clears him, his demeanor doesn’t endear him to Chief Detective Oscar Finlay (Malcolm Goodwin) who locks him upon along with another suspect who admits to the crime but also obviously isn’t guilty. While some might see this as Finlay using Reacher to get the truth out of the other suspect, that’s not how the episode presents things with Finlay mainly wanting both men out of his hair.

Moon Knight #7

/ / Comics

Moon Knight wants answers. The unknown villain calling himself Zodiac. has tortured Marc mentally, psychologically, and physically. He’s left him beaten with his home in ashes. Now Moon Knight wants answers and retribution.

Moon Knight #7 features Marc and his friends searching for answers about who this new villain is but running into several dead ends (some of them quite literal). There’s some fun moments here showcasing a variety of ways our hero searches for answers from talking over his problem with his therapist, threatening everyone in a secret underground club, and dangling a D-lister above an industrial shredder.

In the end Moon Knight doesn’t get any more information than he started with, but as Zodiac doesn’t appear to be going anywhere anytime soon, he shouldn’t have to want too long before their next run-in.
