Based on the six-issue mini-series by Brian Michael Bendis and David Walker, the opening episode of The CW’s latest super-hero series introduces us to adopted teenager, and Superman mega-fan, Naomi McDuffie (Kaci Walfall). There are some differences to the original comic as Superman is more myth than fact in this reality (making you wonder which world in the Arrowverse Naomi takes place in) adding a different take on Naomi missing the Man of Steel’s appearance in the out-of-way town of Port Oswego when even several witnesses are willing to believe was some kind of stunt.

Hellboy: The Bones of Giants #3

/ / Comics

Hellboy: The Bones of Giants #3 offers the first face-off between Hellboy and the restricted Frost King Thrym which results in a draw when the Frost Giant retreated to build up his strength setting up a final confrontation in next issues’ series conclusion.

Aside from the giant, Hellboy: The Bones of Giants #3 also gives us the giant wolf Garm who our heroes come across feasting on the remains of a village as they continue their way north in search of Thrym.

Overall, it’s a solid middle issue to the arc with a couple of fun sequences but leaves the big action to play out in the four-issue mini-series’ conclusion.

With the help of Hanna‘s (LL Cool J) visiting friend (Briana Marin), a short-staffed NCIS team searches for a missing Kensi (Daniela Ruah) who disappeared near the Mexican border while working undercover investigating a smuggling operation. It takes some time to make sense of a crime scene involving five dead who weren’t killed by the cartel but by a local militia group led by a cultish whackjob (Jolene Andersen) out to protect America from those seeking the American dream by gunning down unarmed refugees in the woods.

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog.

In the end, the reason behind the Witch Doctor and statue are explained by crooks looking to scare away both locals and tourists in order to hide their pearl-poaching operation.

Hit-Monkey – Run Monkey Run

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Hit Monkey – Run Monkey Run
  • IMDb: link

Tired of dealing with Hit-Monkey, the Yakuza put a price on the monkey’s head that even makes his ghost sidekick blush. He’s also got to deal with the undead ghost assassin Yuki (Reiko Aylesworth) who arises to restore order to the streets of Tokyo and targets both Hit-Monkey and Bryce (Jason Sudeikis). With a ghost (who can harm them both) and host of assassins after them, there’s plenty of action in “Run Monkey Run.” Although Yuki comes to an understanding with the monkey, our protagonist has plenty of threats still coming after him as the Yakuza raise the price on the contract even higher.
