Shaun of the Dead

Returning to theaters 20 years after its initial release, Edgar Wright‘s horror comedy Shaun of the Dead still entertains.

Working their way around less access than they planned, Leverage gives Jenna the proper nudges at the right time to lead her to uncover the truth about her boss and expose him, and his crooked business partner (Gail Rastorfer), to the world.

Wonder Woman #12

After the disappointment of last month’s Absolute Power tie-in I wasn’t particularly looking forward to more of the same. However, by offering us the unusual partnership of Wonder Woman and Damian Wayne who team-up to try and get answers out of Captain Boomerang of all people, Wonder Woman #12 turns out to be an unexpected joy to read.
