Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - The Well

Following the events of Thor: The Dark World, Coulson (Clark Gregg) and his team arrive in London to clean-up the mess caused by Thor‘s (Chris Hemsworth) battle with Maleketh (Christopher Eccleston), but the real trouble in in Norway where two Norse paganists (Michael Graziadei, Erin Way) cut a piece of a mystical Asgardian staff out of a tree in a forest reserve which grants the wielder both uncontrollable rage and power. Consulting an expert in Spain (Peter MacNicol) who identifies it as one-third of the Berserker Staff (and whose interference looses the team the second piece of the staff) the team tries to gather the remaining piece before it too falls into the wrong hands.

Star Wars #11

/ / Comics

Star Wars #11Although Han and Chewie are still off on their own trying to procure weapons for the Rebellion, most of the other individual storylines converge as the Star Destroyer Devastator catches up to the Rebel Fleet.

Leia returns just as the fighting begins, and Luke and Wedge aren’t far behind flying T.I.E. Interceptors as part of the squadron attacking the Rebel’s carriers and supply ships. With some nifty flying and a bit of luck the pair manage to make it on-board without any of their friends accidentally killing them. The real surprise, however, is the other Imperial T.I.E. Fighter Pilot who surrenders to the Rebels who turns their almost sure defeat into news of disaster that will enrage Darth Vader to ignore his orders to oversee the Second Death Star and continue his search for young Skywalker.

Fans of space battles, X-Wings, and Interceptors should enjoy this issue as much of it has to deal with in space that our main characters (not surprisingly) manage to survive. With all but Han Solo’s story wrapping up it will be interesting to see what direction the series takes from here. Worth a look.

Worlds’ Finest #17

/ / Comics

Worlds' Finest #17As Power Girl heads off for a space adventure hoping that closer exposure to the sun may help stabilize her wonky powers, the Huntress continues to track down the super-powered arsonist targeting models and high-priced galas. Power Girl’s little space voyage isn’t cheap, and despite her hopes things don’t go exactly according to plan as the sun overwhelms her and sends an out-of-control super-charged heroine hurtling back towards Earth.

Helena doesn’t fair much better as the villain strikes another event before the Huntress can stop her. While pursuing the arsonist, Helena gets a front-row seat of her friend returning to Earth which makes Huntress give up her pursuit of her query to save her friend while questioning how someone with Kara’s power-set gets into so much trouble.

With Kara’s powers still on the fritz it may be time for the ladies to call in help, even if it means exposing themselves to possible questions about their origins. Worth a look.
