Uncanny X-Men #2

Uncanny X-Men #2

Bouncing around a bit more than is probably necessary, Uncanny X-Men #2 offers the core characters of this title reacting quite poorly to the mutants who responded to the call for help they left. We get the obligatory fight between Rogue, Gambit, and Wolverine versus Calico, Ember, Jitter, Ransom, and Deathdream before calmer heads eventually prevail with Rogue stating the obvious about who she and her friends are and will forever be.

LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy - Part One

Shaking up LEGO Star Wars and mixing and matching to create something new, the first episode of the four-part mini-series LEGO: Star Wars: Rebuilds the Galaxy introduces us to brothers Sig (Gaten Matarazzo) and Dev (Tony Revolori) whose discovery of a Jedi Temple on Fennesa leads the outgoing brother to needle Sig into removing a block from the temple, shattering it (and all of reality). Although neither Sig nor Dev offer much in the way of interesting characters, they do the job into getting the ball rolling. Once Sig emerges from the ruins of the temple, everything has changed.

The Killer's Game

After starting a new relationship with a dancer (Sofia Boutella), a contract killer is diagnosed with a rapidly-deteriorating illness.

The twist comes when the doctor tells Joe there has been a mix-up and that he’s actually not dying giving the killer a reason to live but no way to call off the hit.

Hit-Monkey - The Estate

While sadly not furthering the Akiko (Olivia Munn) storyline, “The Estate” involves the Collective dealing with the last living member of the Aldermen and retrieving the final artifact which has an effect on animals temporarily pushing Monkey against his new killer friends. After a purposefully off-putting setup, there’s plenty of action with the most notable piece of the episode being Haruka‘s (Ally Maki) observation about one of the members of the Collective leading to some troubling conclusions which will lead to friend vs. friend in the next episode.

Adventures of Superman - The Monkey Mystery

Superman Saturday takes us back to the 1950s and a strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. “The Monkey Mystery” is an odd episode about the daughter of an Eastern European scientist (Allene Roberts) making her way to the United States to deliver her father’s secret formula to stop atomic power to the President of the United States. Pivotal to the plot is an organ grinder’s monkey, dressed in a small Superman costume, who is used to deliver messages between the baddies in Metropolis but who accidentally puts a pivotal piece of information into the hands of Lois Lane (Phyllis Coates) who then spends most of the episode unconscious and off-screen after being attacked.
