Supergirl #34 comic reviewAfter spending several issues away from Earth looking into Rogol Zaar and the destruction of Krypton, Supergirl #34 marks the return of Supergirl to Earth. An Event Leviathan tie-in, Supergirl discovers quite a bit has happened since she’s been gone including the attacks of the mystery group Leviathan on various DCU spy agencies. Discoveries when lead to tears on those lost and shock with reconnecting with others.

Along with giving us Supergirl swooping through her old stomping grounds (with Krypto no less!), the comic also offers an extended action sequence between the Maid of Might and agents of Leviathan who might have been able to take down Supergirl if not for the unexpected assist from an old friend.

James Bond 007 #11 comic reviewAfter breaking free of Goldfinger‘s control, Bond, Lee, and Agent K declare war on Oru. So thorough are the formidible threesome that Goldfinger decides to beat them to the punch and destroy small parts of his organization to make sure that what is left fear their master more than the troublemakers.

Leading into next month’s conclusion of the Goldfinger arc, Bond and his new friends certainly cause problems for their foe here… although trouble uncovered investigating Olympitech, and Bond and Lee’s governments refusing to sanction their current actions, lead into a final pitch by Goldfinger. It’s unlikely to sway Bond, but might it be enough to sway either of the other spies?

Batman: The Brave and the Bold - The Color of Revenge! TV review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to Gotham City where a masked detective and an assortment of partners would help save the world on a weekly basis. The episode opens with a flashback to Batman (Diedrich Bader) and Robin (Crawford Wilson) taking down Crazy Quilt (Jeffrey Tambor), who is blinded by the Boy Wonder. Fast-forwarding a few years, “The Color of Revenge!” reunites the Dynamic Duo after Robin has left Gotham City and struck out on his own in Blüdhaven. Batman arrives in town with news of Crazy Quilt’s escape and, to Robin’s chagrin, immediately tries to take control of the case. Although he comes off a bit whiny at times here, the episode Robin feeling overshadowed with Batman’s take-charge attitude and his tendency to still treat his former sidekick like, well, a sidekick.

Titans - Rose / Ghosts television review

The past returns to haunt the original Titans in “Rose” and “Ghosts” when Dr. Light (Michael Mosley) breaks out of prison and begins targeting members of the team. Dick (Brenton Thwaites) brings everyone back to Titans Tower, where the new recruits continue to train, and Jason Todd (Curran Walters) continues to be an ass (if the writers of the show were trying to capture the unlikable nature of the Todd Robin that led to fans voting he be murdered by the Joker, they are definitely going down the right path). Light certainly comes off creepy and dangerous, even if the design of his costume could use a little work, but it’s the confirmation that he’s working with Deathstroke (Esai Morales), something the team has yet to discover, that increases the danger for the Titans. Deathstroke’s plan to divide and conquer (an immediately already divided team) begins with the capture of Todd.

Titans - Trigon television review

In a dick move, Titans returns for its Second Season with a premiere which feels very much like it should have been the First Season’s finale. Almost entirely dealing with themes from the previous season, “Trigon” begins with Trigon (Seamus Dever) brainwashing the rest of his daughter’s friends just as he did to in the previous season’s finale to Robin (Brenton Thwaites), proving that a full episode didn’t need to be devoted the the alternate reality mind games he pushed Dick through in “Dick Grayson” (as Trigon manages to brainwash nearly the entire group, who are then able to break his control, all in less than half that time).
