Leverage: Redemption - The Card Game Job TV review

The Leverage team use a fantasy card game to target a greedy CEO (Max Sheldon) known for buying up paramedical companies and jacking up the prices of medical drugs while stalling research on potential cures. Using the target’s interest in the game, the team attempts to sell him his heart’s desire which becomes more complicated when the creator (French Stewart) of the game shows up willing to sell. Now to beat the man, the team will need to prove his unworthiness and show him up at the game’s annual celebration which offers opportunities for Eliot (Christian Kane) to go medieval on some thugs, Breanna (Aleyse Shannon) to use her love for the game to help Parker (Beth Riesgraf) find buried treasure, and to remind us that Sophie (Gina Bellman) is only good on stage when it’s part of the con.

Invincible - It's About Time television review

The first episode of Invincible, adapted from the comic series of the same name, introduces us to teenager Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun). The son of the world’s most powerful hero, Mark finally gets his own powers as “It’s About Time” works as an origin story for the hero who would come to be known as Invincible. It’s not until the end of the episode that the darker themes of the comic are touched on as Mark’s father Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons) lures the world’s greatest heroes into one location and murders them setting up a mystery and eventual confession which will lead Mark to find his own place in the world.

Transformers: King Grimlock #1

/ / Comics

Transformers: King Grimlock #1 comic reviewThe concept for Transformers: King Grimlock #1 is simple but effective. What would happen if you dropped Grimlock in something like the Savage Land? We start with a brief cameo from Optimus Prime who Grimlock saves from a portal only to find himself transported to the savage world of Menonia.

The tribe’s wizard had hoped to bring Optimus Prime as the hero of legend to stand against the fearsome Golden One. Instead, they got Grimlock who it turns out has no interest in saving the people and rather likes the idea of spending time in the savage land.

Black Cat #8

/ / Comics

Black Cat #8 comic reviewA new storyline kicks off here as Black Cat sets her sights on perhaps the most dangerous score of the career. And the person standing in her way is none other than Nick Fury, Jr.. C.F. Villa (who drew some of the previous volume’s better issues) returns as artist freshening up the look of the comic and character once more.

Although the prize she’s after isn’t given away in this opening issue to the new arc, the title “Infinity Score Part 1” and the reveal of what’s in the box (or rather who’s in the box) she manages to steal in front of Fury confirms what Felicia is after this time around. The Black Cat wants the Infinity Stones (which are merged with people now for some reason, rather than just having guardians?).

Blue and Gold #1

Blue and Gold #1 comic reviewBooster Gold and Blue Beetle are back. Writer Dan Jurgens and artist Ryan Sook bring DC’s best bromance back to comics with the first issue of the eight-issue mini-series featuring the pair of heroes sure to fill readers of a certain age with all the feels.

The Justice League has been captured? Who will save them? Booster Gold! That is, if he doesn’t get killed while trying to livestream the rescue (while his followers discuss the hero’s impending death). Thankfully Skeets is smart enough to know just who to go for back-up. While the League may not see the hero in Booster Gold, Ted Kord always has his back.
