Without any spoken dialogue, Only Murders in the Building answers some very large questions while providing on hell of an episode. First, we discover who killed Zoe (Olivia Reis) all those years ago and who the other person was on the roof that night who Tim Kono (Julian Cihi) saw and why he never came forward. Second, against all odds, Oliver (Martin Short) and Mabel (Selena Gomez) confirm the podcast’s latest crazy theory about their sponsor which turns out to be true.

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #7

/ / Comics

While Batman, Robin, and Mystery, Inc. deal with a giant cat attacking the top of Wayne Tower (which turns out to be a distraction for Catwoman‘s latest break-in and jewel theft), Alfred, Daphne, and her butler Jenkins search for the missing Scooby-Doo and Ace who were dognapped from Wayne Manor.

There’s quite a bit of fun to be had in The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #7 with Alfred and Daphne working together to solve the main story while giving us an appearance of Catwoman, in her original Batman: The Animated Series costume (a personal favorite).

The real surprise comes from the reveal of the identity of the villain behind the abduction and ransom of more than 30 dogs in Gotham City as The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries gives us my favorite Bat-villain of all time: Catman!

Usagi Yojimbo: The Dragon Bellow Conspiracy #4

/ / Comics

Miyamoto Usagi‘s attempt to save Tomoe has failed and has left him half-dead on the road only to be found and rescued by Shingen, who thankfully is less murderous than the last time our ronin’s path crossed the ninja. Usagi’s successful escape, and Tomoe being loose somewhere in his compound, forces Lord Tamakuro to push up his plans to move against the shogun. Can Usagi work with the Neko Ninja to stop him?

In the other ongoing storyline, Gen finally catches up with Zato-Ino leading to a lengthy battle that highlights this chapter of the story and costs the bounty hunter his horn. Before their fight can conclude, Usagi and the ninja arrive as the ronin quickly makes each a promise and secures their help for the attack on Lord Tamakuro’s fortress. Now the real battle begins.
