Silk #1

/ / Comics

Cindy Moon gets a new comic and new writer. First up, Cindy dealing with the unexpected surge in celebrity of her spidery-alter-ego and the sarcophaguses of a hidden South Korean temple getting opened in a New York museum by some rather stupid kids who discover the hard way that putting themselves in danger for social media followers is going to end badly.

Much of what fans have come to expect in early Silk runs is still present here including Cindy’s internal monologue and narration, her dual jobs as an online journalist and super-hero (including taking down some dimwitted robbers), and keeping up with her therapy appointments in a less than full social calendar. As to what was awakened in the museum, it can’t be anything good. Looks like Cindy’s dance card just filled up.

NCIS: Hawai’i – The Game

Lucy‘s (Yasmine Al-Bustami) skills both at poker and undercover work will be put to the test when NCIS inserts her into an underground poker game involving a drug boss who has managed to avoid prison on a technicality. Even the B-story is a bit Lucy-centric as her relationship with Whistler (Tori Anderson) is thrown for a loop with the arrival of an old girlfriend who seems to think she and Whistler are still an item. The later isn’t necessarily a bad development for the character in the long-term, but I am sad to see CBS bailing on the lesbian relationship so quickly.

Daredevil: Woman Without Fear #1

/ / Comics

A tie-in to Marvel’s current Devil’s Reign event, the first issue of Daredevil: Woman Without Fear teases us with moments from Elektra‘s past including glimpses of her training under both Stick and the Hand (introducing the character most responsible for her training within the cult).

The comic hits the highlights of the character, explaining both who she is and who she is trying to be while adopting the persona of the man she loves. Looking for who Fisk may have sold her out to takes Elektra on a journey through the past where she runs into Aka, but the Hand assassin isn’t her current problem.

We don’t actually get the confrontation teased at the end of Devil’s Reign #2 as the comic comes to an end in relatively the same place with Elektra standing face-to-face with Kraven for the first time.

The second episode of The Cleaning Lady cements Thony’s (Elodie Yung) lifestyle when Arman (Adan Canto) steps in to get the urgent medical care her son needs and she proves her worth to Arman’s boss by leading them to a thief whose actions caused a gun fight with a disappointed buyer. Two episodes in, it’s obvious the health of Luca (Valentino LaSalle) is going to be the show’s go-to plot device whenever Thony even thinks about trying to leave her new friends. For better or worse, this is the cleaning lady’s life now.
