Community - App Development and Condiments

Owing more than a little to 1970s dystopian future flicks such as Zardoz and Logan’s Run (and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World), the latest episode of Community plays on a tried-and-true theme of the show in the near-immediate overreaction of the Greendale campus to absurd levels. What begins as beta testing for a new app called MeowMeowBeenz that helps students rate each other and their professors spirals quickly out of control as a rigid class structure is adopted creating a dystopian future on the campus lorded over by the Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) and the rest of the “5’s.”

Worlds’ Finest #20

/ / Comics

Worlds' Finest #20Continuing the “First Contact” storyline begun in Batman/Superman #8, when Superman becomes infected by the same nanites causing Power Girl to loose control of her powers the foursome of heroes split up to keep the pair of malfunctioning Kryptonians away from each other.

Power Girl and Batman fly ahead to New Gammora, where the Dark Knight Detective has deduced the trouble has originated from, and where they discover the mad scientist behind Kara’s recent troubles which are only a byproduct of his plan to perfectly clone Kryptonian DNA, while Huntress and Superman make their way more slowly to the same locale giving the Man of Steel time to recover.

Although it lacks the big moments of the characters meeting for the first time, the second chapter continues to play on how this world’s Batman and Superman are similar yet different to those our heroines remember from their own parallel world while revealing our villain. Worth a look.

[DC, $2.99]

Super Dinosaur #22

/ / Comics

Super Dinosaur #22The battle for the fate of the Dynamo Dome begins as Tyrannosaurus X and his dyno-soldiers invade just as Derek and Super Dinosaur make it back with the cure to bring Derek’s mother out her long coma and into a world that she may not be quite ready to face.

There’s plenty of action to be found here, along with a new suit of armor for Super Dinosaur, as all the residents take up arms (including Erika and Erin, and their parents) to kick the dinosaurs out of their homes. Fans waiting for an action-packed issue between Super Dinosaur and all of his various enemies will certainly get their money’s worth here.

Ending on a cliffhanger with Mega Raptor defeated, but the fate of Dynamo Dome still in doubt, Derek’s mother makes a dangerous choice that her son may never be able to forgive her for. It will be interesting to see how her actions, both immediate genocidal tendencies and future actions, will effect the dynamic of the book going forward. Worth a look.
