Black Widow #10

/ / Comics

Black Widow #10 comic review“I Am the Black Widow” concludes as Black Widow, Yelena, and Anya Corazon take on the super-powered Apogee and The Olio. Lucy, refusing to sit on the sidelines even knowing her powers could kill her at any moment, also jumps into the fray allowing the cure to be released (and leaving a whole bunch of ticked off individuals who aren’t too keen on suddenly loosing their super-powers). It’s a win, but not necessarily a clean with for our heroes leaving resentment and distrust in their wake.

As has been the trend with the comic, we also get another addition to Natasha’s team with the unexpected arrival of Kate Bishop providing some much-needed back-up.

Supergirl - Welcome Back, Kara! television review

Supergirl returns from its mid-season hiatus primarily dealing with the fallout from the lackluster first-half of the show’s final season. There’s plenty of phantom talk here, along with Kara (Melissa Benoist) readjusting to life back on Earth and, only in the final scene of the episode, acknowledging and dealing with the PTSD from her time in the Phantom Zone. Kara’s attempts to find other stories to reporting on than phantoms backfire when Andrea (Julie Gonzalo) assigns William (Staz Nair) to dig into the city’s superheroes for more juicy stories.

Defenders #1

/ / Comics

Defenders #1 comic reviewThe arrival of the new Masked Raider inside the Sanctum Sanctorum with the story of a villain of the Enclave lost in time that could alter the past prompts to use fate and create a new team of Defenders to save the timeline. The team he gets is not exactly what he expected. Welcome to the latest version of the Defenders.

Along with Strange and the Raider, the other members of the team are the Silver Surfer, the Red Harpy, and Cloud. While we get appearances from the various characters here, we don’t get much in the way of interaction (other than confusion as to being pulled out of time and space by Dr. Strange’s spell and delivered to the planet of Taa) while most of the comic centers around the Raider explaining the trouble to the good Doctor.

Red Sonja: Black, White, Red #2

/ / Comics

Red Sonja: Black, White, Red #2 comic reviewThe black, white, and red anthology series continues with three more tales of Red Sonja from different writers and artists. “Proelium Finalis” features Queen Sonja defending her kingdom against a legion of Lemurians led by Al-Ammon while suggesting the possibility that it might be the warrior’s last battle.

The most comical (and by far the least bloody) of the three tales, “Edible” leads Sonja in search of a missing young girl inside a mysterious bog that wants to devour them both. It’s by her wits, rather than her sword arm, that Red Sonja survives.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #285

/ / Comics

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #285 comic review“Murder by Assassination” concludes as the Joes track Al Kawbra to the jungles of Amara Wapoor where they find an army of upgraded Cobra B.A.T.s protecting a secret facility. Although the team is able to fight their way into the facility and ultimately capture their target, Overkill manages to escape with containers full of specialized B.A.T. soldiers foreshadowing some future plan the Joes will have to stop.

Most of the comic centers around the firefight to get into the facility, although several panels are set aside at the end for a final battle between Sherlock and Al Kawbra. The capture of Al Kawbra gives Sherlock some closure to her early journey with G.I. JOE. The character is revealed to be one of the Fred series of Crimson Guards who have troubled the Joes in the past. Although his schemes may have come to an end, the escape of Overkill suggests the events Al Kawbra set into motion are far from finished.
