Jessica Jones #10 comic reviewThe life of Jessica Jones isn’t getting any less complicated. After being released from prison, finally putting her family back together, run-ins with S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, or whoever is actually calling the shots now, and cases which have ended badly for everyone, Jessica sits in her office and stews waiting for her client to show up. She doesn’t have to wait long, although the arrival of Maria Hill doesn’t help the super-powered private eye make sense of the shit-show she’s somehow landed herself in.

Convinced that Hill is lying at the start of the issue and convinced only that she doesn’t know what the hell is going on (not unlike Marvel’s current event), Jessica also has to deal with answering questions from S.H.I.E.L.D. and an unexpected bombing by the Hobgoblin. Yeah, she can’t even have her life threatened by the good Goblin.

Blood Brothers #1

/ / Comics

Blood Brothers #1 comic reviewThe first issue of Dynamite Entertainment’s Blood Brothers: Hermanos de Sangre is unexpected. Issue #1 of the four-issue mini-series introduces us to Diego and Gabriel Soliz, a pair of mismatched brothers who nevertheless make effective detectives. Writer Fabian Rangel, Jr. and artist Javier Martin Caba create a fantastical world filled with creatures of all shapes and sizes. While our protagonists are both human, each brings an unique skill-set to their partnership.

Diego, from what we see here, is a degenerate drunk. However, he does have the power to speak to the dead and follow the invisible tracks people leave behind. The much larger Gabriel is clad in full wrestling attire including luchador mask, far more intent on playing the hero (although he seems to lack the more deductive mind of his brother).

Detective Comics #959

Detective Comics #959 comic reviewOn one hand Detective Comics #959 is a middle issue of an Azrael arc. I’ll be honest, that’s not going to grab my attention or keep it, by itself, for that long. It appears the Order of St. Dumas, who programmed Azrael and sent him out in the world as their agent of change and vengeance, got tired of him choosing his own path and put together something even more fearsome in their new acolyte Ascalon. While the latest issue doesn’t offer much more information about the new threat, it does foreshadow a possible issue with Azrael looming in the very near future.

Dark Matter - One More Card to Play TV review

“One More Card to Play” picks up the thread of the Rasa’s missing doppelgangers from the parallel universe when the alternate versions of Portia (Melissa O’Neil) and Boone (Anthony Lemke) steal a Zairon transport ship, betray one the crew’s few remaining allies, and attempt to steal the Rasa. While the plan ulimately fails due to extra contingency plans by Five (Jodelle Ferland) and the Android (Zoie Palmer), the entire series of events ends in a stalemate with the other crew still at large (and now in possession of their own ship).
