The Old Man – III

  • Title: The Old Man – III
  • IMDb: link

The biggest piece of the third episode of The Old Man is to confirm the identity of Dan Chase’s (Jeff Bridges) daughter, not only as a living person (and not a hallucination like that of his ex-wife), but also reveal her larger role in the events that are occurring. It’s an interesting choice to make to reveal her identity so early in the series, and I think there was still plenty of mileage to get out of her being more of a nebulous character. That said, her conversation with Zoe (Amy Brenneman), even though it ultimately doesn’t convince her to hit the road with Dan, tells us everything we need to know about the Dan/Zoe relationship.

Moon Knight: Black, White & Blood #3

Three more bloody tales of Moon Knight in black, white, and red are collected in Moon Knight: Black, White & Blood #3. The craziest, and least interesting story for me, finds Moon Knight fighting aboard a spaceship in “Astronauts.” It’s weird but not as much fun as Moon Knight in space sounds. However, it’s the other two tales where you will get your money’s worth.

Fables #153

While we get short appearances by Cinderella and our new Jack the Green, the main focus of Fables #153 is on the children of Bigby and Snow White who their father sends off separately to each have a fantastic adventure on their own. Snow isn’t overly enthused with her husband’s decision and it turns out she may have valid concerns.

Moon Knight #13

In the fallout from his war with Zodiac, Moon Knight turns his pent-up frustration and attention on the vampire known as the Tutor who is the head of the vampire pyramid scheme which turned Reese. There’s plenty of action as Moon Knight cuts a path through vampires on his way to the Tutor, however the framing of the issue comes from the vampire’s discussion with Taskmaster who the Tutor asks for advice and attempts, and fails, to hire to deal with his Moon Knight problem.
