Wizards of Waverly Place - Crazy 10 Minute Sale

Wayback Wednesday takes us back to a family of wizards living in Waverly Place. Premiering in Fall of 2007, the first episode of Wizards of Waverly Place introduced us to teenage wizard Alex Russo (Selena Gomez) and her brothers Justin (David Henrie) and Max (Jake T. Austin) who are trained by their father (David DeLuise) to use magic while also attempting to be normal and fit in at school. Not taking any time for introductions or setting up the world, “Crazy 10 Minute Sale” jumps in with an average day for the Russos where Alex, in order to attend the biggest sale of the year, uses a duplication spell learned in this episode to create a doppelganger to attend magic training in her place. Of course, things go wrong.

Set in 1934, a group of strangers are brought together by a reclusive billionaire to his private island estate.

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #7

Feeling much more a Batman story than a Scooby-Doo story, The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #7 features Batman and Mystery, Inc. working together to stop the Scarecrow who is performing a series of heists around Gotham City using his fear gas. We’re shown the villain at the off-set and, although there is some discovery to be made about uncovering Scarecrow’s master to get his gas into every home, it’s really Batman who is responsible for the deductions. You could take the Scooby-Doo characters completely out of the story and that wouldn’t change it all that much.

Charlie's Angels - Angels on Horseback

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police officers turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. Murder on a bus on the way to the Sunwest Dude Rach leads the Angels and Bosley (David Doyle) undercover as separate guests at the ranch with Kelly (Jaclyn Smith) playing up the big city girl getting over failed marriage, Sabrina (Kate Jackson) playing up her knowledge of horses as a rodeo rider, and Kris (Cheryl Ladd) who quickly abandons her role as the buttoned up accountant from Iowa. As the title of the episode suggests, it’s mainly an excuse to get the Angels in to western wear and on horseback solving a crime including the climax of Kelly and Chris racing after the killers who have taken Sabrina hostage.

X-Men #35

X-Men #35 closes out the current comic series heading into a relaunch of the X-Men titles. The X-Men title (which Marvel using a bit of questionable math adding up various issues to also call it Uncanny X-Men #700) is an overpriced farewell to the Krakoa storyline with the return of the island, some mutant infighting, and then its return to the beyond. The issue is really for fans of the storyline which, like many X-Men arcs, I felt got bloated and unwieldy long before its end.
