Amazing Spider-Man #47

Interrupted on an unexpected date, even more unexpected in that it was going so well (before running out and stiffing Shay with the bill, that is), Spider-Man crashes into action to help Betty Brandt who has gotten in more than a little trouble searching for something that can clear Ned Leeds. After taking care of the thugs, Spidey has more trouble on his hands with the arrival of an erratic Ben Reilly, now apparently calling himself Chasm (complete with questionable costume), along with Hallows’ Eve and the Queen Goblin.

Fletch

Flashback Friday takes us back to the 1980s and an investigative reporter who stumbles upon corruption and murder. Fletch may be the quintessential Chevy Chase movie. One could certainly argue for National Lampoon’s Vacation or Caddyshack, although the latter is more of an ensemble piece. With Fletch, Chase carries the film from beginning to end through a variety of ad-libs, jokes, gags, and sarcastic remarks while breaking not one but two big stories in less than a week. When you think of Chase’s style of humor, it’s hard not to think of Fletch.

SHAZAM! #10

I’ll admit to being a bit confused by turn of events here. During the Captain‘s battle with Black Adam the family’s home was destroyed. The gods have rebuilt the home. Great! However, the family was planning to relocate and move out of this house so did those plans fall apart as the story only makes sense if the family is moving into the house the gods have messed with (but if so why do they have to move in?).

Shōgun - Ladies of the Willow World

While much of “Ladies of the Willow World” takes place in Lord Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada), including the title which derives from Mariko (Anna Sawai) setting up John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis) with another prostitute, in terms of events moving the larger story forward we must look to Osaka. Here we see the impact of Ochiba No Kata’s (Fumi Nikaidô) return in pushing Ishido (Takehiro Hira) to act bolder with the Regents beginning with replacing Toranaga’s open seat with a flunky and then murdering Lord Sugiyama (Toshi Toda) after the Regent refuses to go along with his plans.
