Hit-Monkey – The Code

  • Title: Hit-Monkey – The Code
  • wiki: link

Things get a little crazy in “The Code,” and that’s say something for a show that was already about a murderous monkey in a suit haunted by the ghost of an assassin. The weakest of the episodes so far, but still a wacky ride (that may or may not require a tetanus shot after you finish), it certainly provides no end of violence as Hit-Monkey and his ghost travel down into the bowels of Sugano prison where even the guards don’t go, in search of the Accountant who has been running a bizarre world. The episode is notable for the monkey giving in to violence more and more and taking down Fat Cobra in the Accountant’s underground Fight Club.

Devil’s Reign #1

/ / Comics

Wilson Fisk has declared war on super-heroes. The new mini-series cross-over event gives us a pissed off former Kingpin taking on Daredevil and anyone else he can inflict harm upon as a means of revenge against the guardian of Hell’s Kitchen who he knows, but can’t prove, has messed with his mind. Using super-villains as agents of the law, the Mayor of New York is targeting heroes including Daredevil, Moon Knight, Spider-Man, other Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones, and others. 

The idea of villains using politics to attack heroes isn’t a new one (most notably with DC’s Lex Luthor becoming President). By the end of the issue, Fisk has the heroes on the run as even to help pull New Yorkers out of burning buildings makes them a target for Fisk’s goon squad. The team’s solution… Tony Stark for Mayor? Um, okay?

Supergirl – Kara

After six seasons Supergirl comes to an end. “Kara” is a bit of an odd finale with three separate stories to tell. The first, taking up the first 20 minutes of the episodes, involves Kara and her friends rallying the people of and the world to help fight Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer) and Nyxly (Peta Sergeant) and end their destruction in your basic big heroic speeches and action scenes the show has become known for. The middle section involves the wedding of Alex (Olivia Nikkanen) and Kelly (Azie Tesfai). And the last involves looking forward at the future of Kara post-Supergirl.
