Batman and Two-Face #24

/ / Comics

Batman and Two-Face #24After months of giving us issues with rotating members of the Bat Family the latest issue of Batman and Robin begins a new arc featuring an updated New 52 origin of Two-Face. Although the basics stay the same, a criminal exposes Harvey Dent to acid, the specifics are unnecessarily updated (something the New 52 excels at) as the person responsible for Two-Face’s creation is now Erin McKillen.

The issue begins with McKillen’s return to Gotham to attend a meeting with the other Gotham crime families who have decided to team-up against the freaks who have been encroaching on their turf. The scenes of McKillen and Dent are shown in flashbacks, although the reasoning behind such brutal actions on her part, especially for the first issue of an extended arc meant to specifically with Dent’s transformation into Two-Face, aren’t well explained.

All that said, even the changes can’t ruin one of Batman‘s most interesting villains. As the beginning of a true origin for the character it’s flawed, but fans may still enjoy the issue.

[DC, $2.99]

Once Upon a Time - Quite a Common Fairy

Needing help to find Peter Pan‘s (Robbie Kay) secret camp and rescue Henry (Jared Gilmore), and discovering Emma’s (Jennifer Morrison) map is doing nothing but leading the group in circles, Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) suggests going to Tinker Bell (Rose McIver) for help. However, Regina‘s (Lana Parrilla) past with the fairy, which we view in a series of flashbacks involving Tinker Bell being defrocked by the Blue Fairy (Keegan Connor Tracy) for her attempt to save the wicked queen, makes that a complicated proposition.

Once Upon a Time in Wonderland - Down the Rabbit Hole

After an opening featuring a young Alice returning home from Wonderland to a disbelieving father, the Once Upon a Time spin-off begins in earnest years later with a teenage Alice (Sophie Lowe) locked away in an insane asylum and a storm which brings a pair of old friends, the White Rabbit (John Lithgow) and the Knave of Hearts (Michael Socha), to her rescue. But before her friends can reach her, the imprisoned Alice is called before the disbelieving Dr. Lydgate (Jonny Coyne) and his committee to admit that all her tales, including her tragic love for the genie Cyrus (Peter Gadiot) as shown in flashbacks, were nothing more than the fabricated delusions of a troubled young girl.
