Duke #3

Discovering Duke has been captured, Cobra sends Major Bludd and his soldiers into the Pit to kill him before anyone starts believing his stories of giant transforming robots. Along with the action at the end where Duke fights for his life, the comic is mostly made up of conversations between Duke and the Baroness who spends most of the issue attempting to get Duke to reevaluate who his friends are and to trust her.

Cobra Commander #2

Cobra Commander‘s search for Energon for Cobra-La leads him into swamps for an encounter with the Dreadnoks. Although we don’t get Zartan in this issue, we do get a pair of the original Dreadnoks in Buzzer and Ripper, and also a smaller cameo from Zarana. After leaving Cobra-La, the Commander doesn’t make friends with either his protector/overseer from Cobra-La (who he ditches) or the Dreadnoks (whose prized vehicle he blows up).

Spidey Super-Stories #32

Spidey Sunday takes us back to the late 70s and the first time Spider-Man met Spider-Woman. The two-part story is a bit bonkers, following the basic formula of a super-hero misunderstanding when Peter and Aunt May arrive in London and Peter discovers a Spider-Woman is on a crime-spree. Suiting up, he tracks down and fights Spider-Woman until he discovers it’s not the same woman committing the crimes, and that an imposter is working for Doc Ock. Teaming up, the pair take down the fake, although Doc Ock gets away (along with any rationale for this bizarre scheme).

Catwoman #62

Catwoman #62 continues the “Nine Lives” storyline in which writer Tini Howard keeps finding ways to kill off Catwoman and bring her back for more. My real interest in the comic isn’t in the story itself, although Catwoman fulfilling an old debt by agreeing to work a single case for Amanda Waller‘s Suicide Squad is an interesting set-up, but the number of characters with ties to the Secret Six including both Black Alice and Jeannette who are part of Catwoman’s team in stealing an artifact from Black Adam.

NCIS: Hawai'i - License to Thrill

Somebody has been watching Point Break. Recovering from an opening with laughably inept performances by both bank security guards and local police (the GCPD in the 60s Batman show were more convincing) allowing a band of thieves on motorcycles to escape, “License to Thrill” wins back some good will with a dumb, but fun, episode playing largely on Jesse (Noah Mills) looking back on the road not taken. There’s not much to the episode other than the team working to identify the stunt-riders turned robbers, with more of Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) struggling, and failing, to discover what Sam Hanna (LL Cool J) is really doing on the island, but there are some fun moments here and there in Jesse shaking dust off some forgotten skills and Whistler (Tori Anderson) attempting to blend in at a supercross rally.
