Star Wars: The Bad Batch - Replacements television review

Given the damage to their ship, the Bad Batch (all voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) crash land on Ordo Moon. Their repairs are slowed by a Moon Dragon stealing one of the ship’s parts leading Hunter and Omega (Michelle Ang) heading after the beast on their own. As to what the rest of the crew does in the meantime and why more don’t go in search for the only thing which will allow them to take off from the barren moon before they run out of supplies and oxygen… that’s not exactly clear. But, hey, Wrecker does build Echo her own room, so, you know, time well spent. The storyline allows Echo to act on her own, and prove herself to Hunter (which couldn’t be done had the other members joined in the search), while continuing to foreshadow there is something special about this young clone.

The Invincible Red Sonja #2

/ / Comics

The Invincible Red Sonja #2 comic reviewRed Sonja‘s return to Erkhara as the protector of Princess Zaria doesn’t begin easily. Not only does she have to protect the princess against attack, but Sonja’s return hasn’t gone unnoticed by the kingdom’s wizard who has put a bounty on Sonja’s head as well. On the eve of the wedding, we also get an attack on Zaria’s life and the theft of the crown jewels of the city. It doesn’t appear things will get any easier for Sonja in the days to come.

Most of the action from this second issue comes from Sonja running down an assassin across the city. We also get a battle with an unknown creature in a dark pit, which is cleverly hidden from the viewer as the creature from the shadows finishes off the would-be assassin.

Black Cat #7

/ / Comics

Black Cat #7 comic reviewBlack Cat #7 wraps up some long-running storylines concerning Black Cat‘s heist over the past couple of years and her rivalry with Odessa Drake and the Thieves Guild. Betrayed by the Black Fox, the Black Cat goes to extraordinary lengths to break her mentor’s deal with Guilded Saint.

While Felicia manages to leverage things enough to free Manhattan from the evil deity’s grasp, her plan isn’t altogether as satisfying as I hoped. There’s certainly emotion here, and the framing of events to allow the Black Cat to lay out her recent actions to the Fox before the big reveal plays well. However, in a storyline that saw the character rip of the biggest names of the Marvel Universe and get immortality, everything returning to the status quo feels a bit underwhelming.

Star Wars Adventures: The Weapon of A Jedi #1

/ / Comics

Star Wars Adventures: The Weapon of A Jedi #1 comic reviewSet between the events of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, the first issue of the four-issue mini-series offers a solo mission for Luke. The series is an adaptation of the young adult novel and the first issue puts Luke on the surface of the planet of Devaron pulled by a calling in the Force he doesn’t quite understand after being shot down by Imperials.

The beginning of a larger story, the first issue really serves to set up the three remaining issues to come ending with Luke on the edge of the forbidden Eedit Temple. The issue also introduces us to a few characters, such as Farnay and Sarco Plank as locals who feel like they will have a larger part in the story as it unfolds.

M.O.D.O.K - If This Be... M.O.D.O.K.! television review

While Marvel’s Cinematic Universe has been a tremendous success, Marvel Comics’ attempts at animation have fallen far short. With Marvel’s various animated projects falling somewhere between middling and truly awful, with a few exceptions, DC has had a decided advantage in the animated space for the last three decades. Into that space comes Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K, delivered on Hulu rather than Disney+ for the more adult nature of the stop-motion series centered around the bizarre character of the same name voiced here by Patton Oswalt. In the first episode we see M.O.D.O.K. nearly bankrupt his evil organization A.I.M. forcing him to sell out to large tech company GRUMBL. M.O.D.O.K also has trouble at home where his wife, now a successful mommy blogger, is looking for some space from her husband.
