Black Widow #3 comic reviewBlack Widow #3 offers some answers for readers, although not to the concerned Hawkeye and Winter Soldier who are freaked out about what is going on with with Black Widow. Apparently the idyllic life Nat is living (including a biological son) was constructed by a group of super-villains in an attempt to get the super-spy off their radar for good. As comic book explanations go, it’s not the most awkward idea Marvel has tried to sell, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a bit odd.

Despite how well the plan has worked, Arcade, Madame Hydra, Snapdragon, Red Guardian, and Weeping Lion are at an impasse as to what comes next. Some, it seem, want further action by taking away what has been given in the most painful way possible to harm the Black Widow in ways that before could never have been done.

Super Dinosaur - The Labyrinth of the Leviathans television review

Distressed by an artifact shown to him by Derek (Valin Shinyei) and Super Dinosaur (Mac Heywood), Squidious (Brian Drummond) breaks out of Earthcore and returns to the oceans. Concerned with what he may be up to, SD and Derek head after him to discover Squidious is working to prevent a catastrophic event caused by the greed of Minimus (Sean Thomas) whose actions may have awakened a giant sea creature. Despite confusion over Squidious’ actions, SD and Derek find the truth inside the large undersea labyrinth that the Hammerhead Sharkmen wish to awaken. “The Labyrinth of the Leviathans” not only solidifies the alliance between Squidious and Earthcore but it also introduces the idea of dangers Minimus may be releasing on the world without ever knowing it. The pre-credit sequence does show Derek and SD getting in trouble by rushing into action yet again (a trait apparently not fixed by Derek learning his lesson in the previous episode).

Angel + Spike #15

/ / Comics

Angel + Spike #15 comic reviewThe reimagined Buffy/Angel universe continues to chug along as Angel and Spike rely on the help of Oz, who they come to realize isn’t the werewolf they are looking for, to track down the real source of several werewolf attacks across Los Angeles. The search entails Spike being uncharacteristically helpful in making a new friend.

The change in creative teams is certainly obvious here. Artist Hayden Sherman goes for a very blocky style that takes some getting used to, and one I’m still struggling with. As for Oz, without the relationship to Willow in this reality his past is a little less clear (although he did reside in Sunnydale, where he was transformed into a werewolf).

The Amazing Spider-Man #51

The Amazing Spider-Man #51 comic reviewOkay, it’s been a bit since I’ve picked up a Spider-Man comic. Looks like Peter’s life isn’t any less complicated than I remember. His friends have been possessed by the villain known as Kindred. The issue opens with Spidey going to Dr. Strange for help with a possessed Silk. While getting all magical and ominous, Strange’s attempts to cure Silk fail leaving him questioning just what is going on as the comic appears to be tying events back to that time Spider-Man literally made a deal with the Devil and reset all of reality. Yeah… Spider-Man fans usually don’t like to speak of this.

Making bad decisions apparently isn’t something Peter has grown out of either as he enlists the help of Black Cat to steal a mystical artifact from Strange which sends the Wall-Crawler to the his dreamscape in the astral plane where the villain awaits (and now he has no wizard to help him). Great plan.

Spenser: For Hire - When Silence Speaks television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the mean streets of Boston and the travails of a smart ass private detective. After breaking up a diamond heist, Spenser (Robert Urich) is hired by an advice columnist (Phyllis Frelich) who hopes Spenser can find a man she has never met and whose real name she doesn’t know. While writing under the pseudonym of an older man, Spenser’s client is an attractive deaf writer who started a correspondence with a man who has suddenly gone missing after taking the writer’s advice, leaving his fiancé (Caitlin O’Heaney), and refusing to help in some kind of nefarious scheme.
