Star Wars #50

This volume of Star Wars comes to a close not with the adventure relating to saving Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt (which was teased at the end of Star Wars #49) but instead a story told by master to apprentice. Framed during Luke Skywalker‘s teaching of Ben Solo, the Jedi Master (potentially already aware of the darkness within him) tells him a story of the Rebellion coming across a weapon prior to the events of Return of the Jedi which could have killed the Emperor (and also anyone connected to him over the course of time).

Star Trek Sunday gives us another episode of Star Trek: Prodigy. “First Con-tact” introduces DaiMon Nandi (), the Ferengi conwoman who raised Dal R’El (Brett Gray) and convinces him to help her in what she describes as a victimless scheme of acquiring a valuable gem from a nearby world.

Out for herself, Nandi steals one of the crystals almost getting away with the theft and revealing Dal wasn’t kidnapped. She sold him into servitude.

Batman: Caped Crusader - Moving Target

An attempt on Jim Gordon‘s (Eric Morgan Stuart) life sends Batman (Hamish Linklater) to prison in an attempt to get the hit called off and with a warning for Barbara (Krystal Joy Brown) and to visit the prison in an attempt to get Muller (Peter Jessop) to call of the hit leading to an unexpected discovery: Jim isn’t the target. While the action is good, and the twist works well enough with Barbara revealed to be the target even one of the police detectives is willing to kill for, “Moving Target” is the most forgettable episode of the season. The point of the episode, so to speak, is to provide Barbara a new perspective as to what someone deserves.

Hit-Monkey - Akiko

Akiko (Olivia Munn) finally catches up to Hit-Monkey in her self-titled episode but is unable to get her revenge. Despite being warned about the dangers of letting an enemy live, Monkey can’t bring himself to kill her leading to her eventual escape and new partnership with Lady Bullseye (Reiko Aylesworth). Looks like all killers are getting ghost mentors these days. Also of note, the episode fills in some origin stories for members of the Collective and Iris (Cristin Milioti) begins a new career cleaning up crime scenes.

Zatanna: Bring Down the House #3

Zatanna spends most of the third issue being talked at by both the Casters and the Order of the Rabbits who magicsplain and accuse the young woman.. Sticking up for herself, and to her story that she hasn’t used magic since she was a child, Zatanna is frazzled by the end of the issue and at her wits end (especially after learning that, perhaps without meaning to, she has indeed been using magic). The introduction of John Constantine to the story may provide more answers but probably won’t lower her stress level.
