The Shadow: The Death of Margo Lane #2

/ / Comics

The Shadow: The Death of Margo Lane #2The Shadow: The Death of Margo Lane #2 delivers on its title as the Shadow is able to narrowly escape a trap set by the Red Empress. Unaware of the danger, or that the Shadow has already made it out safely, Margo Lane runs straight into a building about the explode and to her (less than definite) doom.

The fact that Margo dies off-panel is suggestive. Did she make it out? Was she skirted away by agents of the Red Empress? Or was she injured or trapped beneath the rubble and won’t be found until later in the series? Even with the public manner of her death and the title of the comic I’m guessing there’s still at least a 50-50 chance writer/artist Matt Wagner has a trick up his sleeve.

Pretty Little Liars - Along Comes Mary

“Along Comes Mary” earns its name as Mary Drake (Andrea Parker) attempts to make amends by helping to get Alison (Sasha Pieterse) released from the mental hospital. Still reeling from revelations about her husband, and his death, Alison is further shaken by the police investigation into his disappearance (which the new A seems to be steering away from the story the Liars worked had to craft). Emily (Shay Mitchell) gets an unexpected boon from their adversary who helps her with a missed college test. The question is what with A want in return? And how does the return of Noel Kahn (Brant Daugherty) and Jenna Marshall (Tammin Sursok) new friendship with Sara Harvey (Dre Davis) play into A’s game?

Wonder Woman #2

/ / Comics

Wonder Woman #2The structure of this comic is going to drive me nuts. Rather than continuing the story begun in Wonder Woman #1, the second issue of the series (and all successive even-numbered issues for the foreseeable future) will focus on a retelling of the origins on Wonder Woman before she left Themyscira.

As origin stories go, this first chapter of “Wonder Woman: Year One” sets the scene showing us Diana’s first encounter with the golden lasso, shows her yearning to explore the outside world, and delivers the event which would change her life in he sudden appearance of Steve Trevor who crash lands on the island (rather than washing up on its shores).

Preacher - El Valero

Unable to pull Euguene (Ian Colletti) back from Hell, except in a ghostly visage that only he can see and hear, and growing tired of the battle to fight off Odin Quincannon (Jackie Earle Haley) and his men from taking the church, Jesse allows DeBlanc (Tom Brooke) and Fiore (Anatol Yusef) to remove Genesis from him. However, that doesn’t last long as Genesis returns to its new host almost immediately, this time apparently for good.
