Werewolf by Night

  • Title: Werewolf by Night
  • IMDb: link

Based on the on-again/off-again horror comic from Marvel Comics that found its longest run in the 1970s, Werewolf by Night offers an hour of Disney-fied horror (i.e. bloodless and never quite creepy enough) by brining together a collection of monster hunters on the Bloodstone property in a race to kill a monster and claim the price of the recently deceased Ulysses Bloodstone (a robotically-animated corpse adding to the goofiness of the proceedings) – the Bloodstone.

Unbreakable Red Sonja #1

/ / Comics

After the successful pairing of Red Sonja with Sitha, which has now concluded, Dynamite Entertainment looks for new ways to reexamine such pairings. The first issue of Unbreakable Red Sonja from Jim Zub and Giovanni Valletta pairs the She-Devil with a Sword with a fiery young woman, in this instance a thief who has stolen from the drunken warrior. In a twist, the girl is… Red Sonja?

Batman #331

Wayback Wednesday takes us back 42 years to 1980 and the first appearance of the Electrocutioner. Batman #331 offers two tales for the Dark Knight Detective.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Episode 8

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Ribbit and Rip It
  • IMDb: link

Well, at least the Daredevil scenes were fun. Sandwiched between the show’s mediocre sitcom writing about a super-hero lawyer who dosen’t do much super-heroing or lawyering, the meat of the episode offers the return of Charlie Cox both in and out of costume as Matt Murdock and Daredevil. Also, points for getting the yellow version of Daredevil on screen (even if the reason for the change in costume is never addressed). For a series fumbling around the idea of female empowerment, there is some irony in the idea that it’s a man who gets Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) back into the courtroom (as a lawyer and not a defendant) and into her super-hero costume for the first time.
