Chasm: Curse of Kaine #1

The only thing I’ve ever wanted out of Ben Reilly is for him to be the Scarlet Spider. I don’t have much in the way of interest of him being Spider-Man or being a Spidey villain (which sadly are the only two options that Marvel seems interested in). Currently calling himself Chasm, Reilly is back in villain mode calling himself Chasm with his crazy girlfriend Hallow’s Eve robbing New York tourists for fun. He’s also had his past wiped from his mind, unaware of who he used to be or what he could become.

Terminator Zero - Model 101

Despite showrunner Mattson Tomlin‘s assurance that the new Netflix anime set within the Terminator universe treats all the films as canon (a troubling proposition in its own right as the films don’t really fit together), the opening episode of Terminator Zero feels distinctly separate and different from what has come before. Jumping between 1997 and a cliched workaholic father’s science experiments and 2022 where the machines are hunting down the last of humanity, the most the show feels like the original Terminator is in a brave young woman (Toa Yukinari) running from, fighting, and escaping a Terminator after her. Although it appears both she and a Terminator will join the 1997 time fairly soon, in the opening episode it’s definitely the weaker of the two stories.

Batman: Caped Crusader - Night Ride

Hmm, okay? The oddest episode of the First Season of Batman: Caped Crusader introduces a ghostly anti-Robin Hood terrorizing the poor of Gotham City by robbing from charities and the like. While the episode’s B-story continues to play out the seediness of Gotham City in Harvey Dent (Diedrich Bader) falling behind in the polls and accepting the help of Rupert Thorne (Cedric Yarbrough) which will have repercussions in the final two episodes of the season, this ghost story certainly seems a bit out of place. The ghost does weave into Harvey’s story, giving him another public black eye and causing the candidate to take a hard look at Thorne’s offer.

Leverage: Redemption - The Work Study Job

Breanna (Aleyse Shannon) brings a case to the team involving a college professor (Rob Benedict) stealing the work of a promising graduate student (Erin Ruth Walker). They start with setting up con in an attempt to extricate the professor from the university and dean (Walter Coppage) who is protecting him, but when that fails the team falls back on their confrontation-adverse client needing to prove her work at just the right moment and to just the right audience in the form of one of the university’s biggest donors.
