Dark Matter - The Dwarf Star Conspiracy television review

A little knowledge can be dangerous. Information from their recent rendevouz sends the crew of the Raza to a secret Dwarf Star base where they discover that Two (Melissa O’Neil) is far from the only one of her kind. The facility houses thousands of sentient biological machines, all with pre-made backstories ready to be awoken and unleashed upon the galaxy. However, that’s not the most disturbing part of what they find on the station. Confirming Three‘s (Anthony Lemke) recent nightmares, the Raza find a gateway where alien parasites await to come through and take control of their willing synthetic hosts. The arrival of a Mikkei ship doesn’t help situations, especially when Five (Jodelle Ferland) discovers one of their soldiers is another synthetic agent.

Preacher - Holes television review

“Holes” marks the return of the subplot of Eugene (Ian Colletti) and his time in Hell. Learning to act like the bullies who picked on him most of his life, Eugene has found a way to temporarily fit in. However, Hell’s minions know that something isn’t right and the cause is an individual who doesn’t belong. Here’s the rub – Euguene is obviously the ward’s newest resident… so why isn’t he the equally-obvious suspect? Eugene’s personal Hell gets a bit more twisted when he’s thrown into the pit for an act of kindness. The Hell we see on display is less torturous and more generally fucked-up than anything else, but it’s fucked-up enough for Eugene to take Hitler (Noah Taylor) and his offer of escape seriously.

Batman #28

/ / Comics

Batman #28 comic reviewBatman‘s recounting of the War of Riddles and Jokes” continues (as does the return of his narration in a conversation with Catwoman). Things haven’t improved for the good citizens of Gotham. The Joker and the Riddler have each carved half of the city for themselves, enlisting countless villains to their side in a war that rages on. From what we see there the sides appear fairly equal with Deadshot and Deathstroke getting prominent cameos.

The situation is too far out of hand for the GCPD to step in, and Batman is left trying to put out small fires rather than risk even more civilians getting caught in the crossfire.

Harley Quinn and Batman #1

/ / Comics

Harley Quinn and Batman #1 comic reviewA prequel of sorts to DC’s new animated straight-to-DVD release Batman And Harley Quinn, the new digital series from artists and writers tied to Batman: The Animated Series begins here with the opening story by Ty Templeton and artist Rick Burchett focused on Harley Quinn‘s betrayal of the Joker.

Set in the style of last season of Batman: The Animated Series (I would have preferred the original look of the characters, but this version does offer us a cameo by Nightwing), the comic opens with Batman and Nightwing breaking into the Joker’s lair. Ready for the Dynamic Duo, the Joker is flabbergasting when all his defenses and plans fail spectacularly leading Harley to reveal that she was responsible. Not getting the rise out of Mr. J. she hoped, Harley does get a hand by Poison Ivy who shows up to rescue her friend from Batman and the police.
