Superman #123

Superman Sunday takes us back to the Silver Age and the first appearance of Super-Girl (but not the one who you might expect). “The Girl of Steel” is the first of three stories in the comic. Although the look of Super-Girl would be used for later variations of the character, this version is not Kal-El‘s cousin from Krypton. Instead the character sprung to life from Jimmy Olsen making a magic wish on an ancient artifact Superman guilted an archeologist into giving his best friend. Oh, the Silver Age.

The Brothers Sun - Favor for a Favor

The struggle for The Brothers Sun is finding the balance between the more dangerous and bloody aspect of the show’s premise and the wackier over-the-top humor leads to some hit-and-miss scenes. There’s a segment in “Favor for a Favor” that hits that sweet spot perfectly. While searching for answers about the hitman sent after them, and getting dragged into delivering a Komodo Dragon to a kid’s birthday party, Charles (Justin Chien) and Bruce (Sam Song Li) fight for their lives against a group of killers all dressed up in inflatable dinosaur costumes brandishing machetes (which somehow goes completely unnoticed by the guests).

Delicious in Dungeon - Roast Basilisk/Omelet/Kakiag

The party’s descent into the dungeon continues with three new recipes and challenges for the adventurers. Continuing to feel underappreciated, the annoying Marcille (Emily Rudd) makes a rather rash decision involving a giant bat that causes chaos but is ultimately helpful to the group. The episode is also notable for showcasing the trap prowess of Chilchuck (Casey Mongillo) who butts heads with the Senshi (SungWon Cho) over the dwarf not taking traps seriously, although the pair eventually come to and understanding and appreciation of each other’s skill sets. The pair’s verbal sparring is a nice visual representation of the show itself, in transforming a D&D adventure into something at least as equally centered around cooking and enjoying the sweet, sweet taste of monsters.

Citadel - Tell Her Everything

Still largely concerned with coquettishly teasing Nadia (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) as the leading suspect to be Citadel’s mole, “Tell Her Everything” opens with the man who used to be Mason Kane (Richard Madden) and Nadia rescuing Carter (Osy Ikhile) from a Manticore black site. After his accusations against Nadia, most of the episode takes place in an extended flashback filling in a bit of Nadia’s spy romance with Mason and their time together at Citadel along with revealing that Kyle’s current wife (Ashleigh Cummings) is also a mind-wiped Citadel agent.
