The Blacklist – Room 417

  • Title: The Blacklist – Room 417

It takes half the episode for the meaning of the episode’s title to come into focus as an attempt to rob an Air Force General of classified information leads the Task Force to a secret room underneath the Capitol where in Room 417 someone has been keeping close eyes on all the comings and goings of Washington. Once found, and discovering the trail leads to an analog information station it doesn’t take long for Dembe (Hisham Tawfiq) to put the pieces together and realize the entire operation was part of Reddington‘s (James Spader) empire and just like the Morgana Logistics Corporation he’s used the FBI to dismantle another key piece of his criminal empire.

The Brave and the Bold #166

Released on or around this date 46 years ago, Throwback Tuesday takes us back to The Brave and the Bold #166 which offered fans a team-up between Batman and Black Canary. When I say team-up, Batman carries the bulk of the issue here headed to Star City after dealing with a prison break in which the Penguin escaped and is out for revenge against those who sent him to prison. And he’s pretty successful as the villain kills several people before he’s apprehended.

Similar to Endgame (the one with Shawn Doyle not Morena Baccarin), the opening episode of Panhandle casts Luke Kirby as a genius agoraphobic haunted by his wife’s murder who helps the police solve crimes. In the case of Panhandle, named after the northern swampy region of Florida, Kirby stars as Bell Prescott a Renaissance man who put his life on hold after the death of his wife (Lorenza Izzo who appears as a ghost talking to only him) and has taken up the hobby of solving crimes from his manor. Our other main character is overworked patrol officer Cammie Lorde (Tiana Okoye) called in when a dead body is found on the Bell property.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs. Street Fighter #1

At no point in the first issue of the new five-issue crossover mini-series is any attempt made to explain the reason for the worlds of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Street Fighter colliding, instead the two are simply thrown together and the reader is asked to roll with it (which, given the ridiculousness of the concept and everything on display here is a valid choice).
