Superman & Lois – Truth and Consequences

  • Title: Superman & Lois – Truth and Consequences
  • wiki: link

Picking up from the cliffhanger of the previous episode, “Truth and Consequences” features the Kents fighting off the evil Jonathan (Jordan Elsass) from the parallel Earth hoping to merge with his doppelganger. The merge is prevented thanks to Jonathan’s brother and father, making sure that the moody and powerless version of Jonathan doesn’t get any more interesting any time soon. In terms of larger plots, the episode is most notable for Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) rescuing Lana (Emmanuelle Chriqui) and later deciding to share his secret with her, giving her some context to the hidden side of Clark Kent she’s never been able to understand. Is this a one-off, or are we going to see Clark make any further admissions (despite what he saw happen on the Bizarro world)?

Batman: Killing Time #3

While there’s much to like in Batman: Killing Time #3, I’m not overly fond of the way the story continually jumps around the timeline making it harder to get an overall feel of the story (especially for someone who hasn’t read the first two issues of the six-issue mini-series). What it does deliver, in somewhat random order, is an experienced fighter with the unfortunate name of the Help who bests a young Batman in combat after being sent to retrieve something stolen from the hospitalized Penguin.

The Blacklist – The Bear Mask

  • Title: The Blacklist – The Bear Mask

“The Bear Mask” gives us an acid trip fueled time loop as Aram‘s (Amir Arison) choice to move forward with some experimental hallucinogenic therapy traps him in a loop where the team is continuously under attack by unknown assailants (who turn out to be led by his darker unconscious). At least he seems to have gotten some inner peace from the stressful situation. Reddington‘s (James Spader) story take place outside the loop and confirms Mr. Kaplan wasn’t in the explosion leaving questions looming as to the identity of the adversary is working against him (could it eventually turn out to be Kaplan, or is that just a smokescreen to hide the truth of someone nearly as close who knows as much about Reddington’s operation as his former friend?).

The Rocketeer: The Great Race #2

The second issue of The Rocketeer: The Great Race introduces us to both of Cliff‘s main rivals in the race (one of whom he’s not aware is also one of the Nazis the Rocketeer recently had a run-in with) before also giving us the first leg of the race in which Cliff’s flying gets him to second place but his impulsive nature may land him in deep trouble. And, of course, there’s plenty of the regular tension between our hero and Betty.

Red Sitha #1

Sitha, the character introduced in the current volume of Red Sonja and adopted by the She-Devil with a Sword, gets her own title. Set a decade after the events in Red Sonja, with no Sonja in sight, Red Sitha a grown into a bounty hunter in her own right with more than a few similarities to Sonja including a knack for taking hard jobs, living and playing too hard, and getting herself into trouble.
