Ame-Comi Girls #4

/ / Comics

Ame-Comi Girls #4Influenced by the Star Sapphire bequeathed to her by a dying alien on the moon, astronaut Carol Ferris returns to Earth and picks a very public fight with Power Girl over the heart of Jimmy Olsen. Unprepared for the situation, Power Girl is saved by Earth’s new Green Lantern, Jade (the young blind Chinese woman who was introduced in last month’s issue).

The second-half of the issue deals with the introduction of a new villain to the Ame-Comi Girls Universe. This means we get Sinestra, a female version of Sinestro who was banished to the Anti-Matter Universe after nearly destroying her own, as well as the introduction of the yellow power ring and the Black Lantern Corps (which the character led before her exile).

Personally, I’d have preferred the comic to stay away from the various rainbow corps other than Sinestra (especially the Black Lanterns), but the introduction of the backstory of the character is certainly no more ridiculous than Geoff Johns‘ original concept. Worth a look.

The Newsroom - Season OnePolitics and television have both been staples of Aaron Sorkin‘s previous television series. With The Newsroom the show’s creator examines both simultaneously. The HBO original series centers around moderate Republican news anchor Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) whose eruption about America’s shortcomings during a debate is used by his boss Charlie Skinner (Sam Waterston) to move the show to a more traditional news program whose main objective is to inform its viewers.

The change causes friction with the news program’s corporate owner (Jane Fonda) and a complete overhaul of the staff beginning with Skinner hiring Will’s ex-girlfriend MacKenzie McHale (Emily Mortimer) to produce. Also on board for the ride are Mac’s right-hand man Jim (John Gallagher Jr.), the often erratic Maggie (Alison Pill), and the other behind-the-scenes members of the news program (including Dev Patel, Adina Porter, and Margaret Judson).

A little bit Covert Affairs and a little bit Point Break, Graceland is based, in part, on real events of a house in Southern California seized by the U.S. Government which became a base for top undercover agents of the DEA, FBI, and Customs.

Burn Notice - New Deal

The seventh, and final, season of Burn Notice picks up nine months after last season’s cliffhanger which saw Michael (Jeffrey Donovan) make a deal with the CIA to keep Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar), Sam (Bruce Campbell), Jesse (Coby Bell), and his mother (Sharon Gless) out of jail by going back to work for the agency that burned him. Nearly a year later Michael is still working deep undercover in the Dominican Republic to take down a terrorist leader (Adrian Pasdar) who he once worked with years ago.
