Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey #1 comic reviewHarley Quinn and the Birds of Prey #1 offers a contemplative Harley Quinn sharing her troubles to Power Girl (who immediately regrets stopping by). Not only has Harley alienated Poison Ivy after their failed island getaway, but her friends’ hotel have been torched by a loan shark forcing Harley to contemplate leaving the relative safety of Coney Island and returning to Gotham.

Packed with humor and action (including Harley making a surprise appearance at the loan shark’s offices and leaving scores of bodies on the train to Gotham), this isn’t an all-ages book, but for the right audience there is fun to be had.

Legacies - You Can't Save Them All television review

“You Can’t Save Them All” wraps up the Kai Parker (Chris Wood) storyline far quicker than expected, while also returning the characters trapped in the prison world back to reality (well, most of them anyway). While Dark Josie (Kaylee Bryant) works on a way to get them out of the prison world, Kai shows up at the school under the pretense of being an old friend of Alaric‘s (Matthew Davis here to help. By the time Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) sees the villain for who he is, Kai has managed to put both those in the prison world in jeopardy as well as leading Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) into a trap, forcing Hope to choose who to save.

Primal - River of Snakes television review

The second episode of Primal examines the difficulty of man and dinosaur attempting to coexist together, no easy feat for Spear as Fang continually beats out the caveman in hunting. The two mismatched travelers make an odd pair which allows both for the episode’s humor and the rising tension of the two coming to blows before stumbling on new threat. It’s only when the pair are forced to work together to survive a flood filled with killer snakes that each manages to better understand and respect the other. It’s the selfish Fang who offers the first olive branch by returning the caveman’s broken spear thereby mending fences before the next obstacle comes over the horizon.

Black Cat #9

Black Cat #9 comic reviewI have no idea what is going on any any of the X-Men books right now so I’m not sure if the events of this issue conflict with what’s happening elsewhere, but Black Cat #9 takes Felicia to Madripoor for an unlikely team-up. Looking for another item on the list necessary for Black Fox‘s big score leads Felicia in search of a man named Patch (who the Marvel Universe isn’t helpful in identifying and turns out to be anything but what she expected to find).

The events presented here could have gone very definitely. I enjoyed Felicia breaking in only to find out she’d been beaten to the punch by the juvenile Kade Kilgore. Rather than adversaries, the plot throws Logan and Felicia together as partners with shared interests (the first of which is pissing of the teenage genius).
