The Truest Believer & the Lost Girl

After ignoring the show for two seasons, I decided to peek into Once Upon a Time and check in on how the real-life fairy tale drama was doing. The beginning of Season Three features Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin), Prince Charming (Josh Dallas), Regina (Lana Parrilla), and Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) searching for the lost Henry (Jared Gilmore) who was kidnapped and taken to Neverland where the devious Peter Pan (Robbie Kay) has plans for the “heart of the truest believer.”

Daredevil: Dark Nights #5

/ / Comics

Daredevil: Dark Nights #5The second-half of writer/artist David Lapham’s story about Daredevil chasing around a 10-inch imp around New York City doesn’t have quite the same zany feel given the murder of Buggit’s friend in the final panel of last month’s issue. Although the odd little man had good intentions to help his friend escape a murder conviction, his actions actually directly led to the murder.

With no time, and various distractions in his way such as the Shocker who escapes police custody and a giant monster in the middle of Manhattan the Avengers are trying to contain, Daredevil once again chasing the little man through the city. The difference this time is Buggit has strapped himself with a suicide bomb and is out to make sure the mobster who had his friend killed pays for it.

Although the end is far too tidy (and convenient) for my tastes, and the second issue isn’t as fun as the first, the mini-series second arc kept my interest all the way through the end (which is more than I can say for the first arc). For fans.

[Marvel, $2.99]

The Michael J. Fox Show - Pilot

In a plot not that far removed from the actor’s own struggles, Michael J. Fox stars as a news anchor who leaves his job to spend more time with his wife (Betsy Brandt), sister (Katie Finneran), and three children (Juliette Goglia, Conor Romero, Jack Gore) after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. The Pilot episode revolves around Mike driving his family crazy with his over-attention, Mike’s old boss (Wendell Pierce) trying to woo him back into the studio, and Mike’s daughter Eve (Goglia) making a sappy pseudo-documentary of her father’s struggles to get out of her actual homework assignment.

The Rogues #1

/ / Comics

The Rogues #1Although (like most DCU characters since the New 52 reboot) The Rogues are merely shadows of their former selves, The Rogues #1 is a fair bit better than the wretchedly awful Reverse-Flash #1. Of course since The Flash has already spent time fleshing out the history of The Rogues and their unnecessary power-infusion, there’s actually not much for this latest Forever Evil tie-in issue to do.

The main purpose of The Rogues #1 is to restate the tension between Captain Cold and the rest of the team following their power upgrades, retrieve The Trickster from prison, and return the trapped Mirror Master from the mirror realm (at the cost of Glider). Sadly, the team is still without Captain Boomerang (who is stuck leading the New 52 version of the Suicide Squad).

The last part of the issue catches up with the events of Grodd #1 as The Rogues find themselves once again forced to play hero and save their city from the gorilla invasion as the Flash and the rest of the Justice League have been taken out by the Secret Society of Super-Villains. For fans.

[DC, $2.99]
