Red Hood and the Outlaws #21 comic reviewA large chunk of Red Hood and the Outlaws #21 centers on the ramifications of Artemis finding Bizarro‘s secret lab with synthetic Kryptonite. Forced into a corner, the Superman clone is forced to confess on his addiction to the substance Lex Luthor used to save his life and which Bizarro has become dependent on in order to keep his enhanced intellect and not regress back into the simple creature he once was. While the pair eventually come to and understanding, it looks like Bizarro’s lies to his friends isn’t over quite yet.

Domino #1

/ / Comics

Domino #1 comic reviewThe first issue sends Domino and her partners Outlaw and Diamondback into timber country on a job to stop the Russian mob from muscling in on a logging operation. When the attempted hostage rescue of missing loggers turns out to be a set-up by Topaz, shit hits the fan (but doesn’t get crazy enough to miss Domino’s birthday party later that night). Surviving the party with her dignity won’t be the only challenge when our villain arrives to finish the job. Has our heroine’s luck already run out? (As this is the first issue, I’m going to say no.)

Legends of Tomorrow - Guest Starring John Noble television review

From a story perspective “Guest Starring John Noble” is a mess. The episode sees Damian Darhk (Neal McDonough) betray Nora (Courtney Ford) and the Legends both in attempts to belatedly save his possessed daughter from Mallus. Nate (Nick Zano) and Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale), and eventually all the other Legends, help Amaya (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) help change the timeline in an attempt to both save her village and draw Mallus out into the open. As with most of their plans, things don’t go well. The episode doesn’t really deal with Ava‘s (Jes Macallan) recent discovery and Sara‘s (Caity Lotz) choice to hand over the Death Totem to her greatest enemy ranks up there as one of the worst ideas ever made on the Waverider.

Jessica Jones - AKA The Octopus television review

“AKA The Octopus” begins to tie the season’s various themes and threads together. We start off with Jessica (Krysten Ritter) in jail for a crime that she obviously didn’t commit (given how insanely Trish was driving that night how many street cams do you think clocked them both on the other side of the city?) which forces her to make a new friend on the police department. As for Trish (Rachael Taylor), her firs foray into Simpson’s drugs don’t actually help in the investigation but they go give the former addict a dangerous taste of the power she has sought all her life. And for Hogarth (Carrie-Anne Moss), the dead weight of her illness finally begins to serve the larger storyline when Jess delivers a woman who once worked at IGH, and knows all about the death-defying experiments, directly to her door.

Arrow - The Thanatos Guild television review

An offshoot of the League of Assassins created by Malcolm Merlyn before his death arrive in town for Thea (Willa Holland) and a map her father left behind. The Thanatos Guild believes Thea is the key to unlocking a great prize Merlyn discovered shortly before his death. The arrival of Nyssa (Katrina Law), another former daughter of the demon who understands Thea’s desire to distance herself from that life, helps persuade Thea to fight rather than run, but uncovering just what the Guild is after will change Thea’s destiny. The episode’s B-story feels mainly like filler as Dinah (Juliana Harkavy) and Curtis (Echo Kellum) investigate corruption in the police department.
