Wonder Woman #16 comic reviewWhile Wonder Woman appears in this issue, primarily while being shown in news footage or while discussed by other characters, the primary focus of the issue is on the secret organization known as Godwatch. The issue reintroduces us to powerful businesswoman Veronica Cale with a resentment towards Wonder Woman given the Amazon’s ease at finding acceptance and acknowledgement in a patriarchal world.

Godwatch isn’t the only people interested in Diana as twin gods Deimos and Phobos steal the soul of Veronica’s daughter to force the CEO to use her untested technology to help the pair find the location of Themyscira, which they believe is buried somewhere in Wonder Woman’s unconscious mind. When the attempt fails, Veronica is left with even more hate for all gods walking the Earth, including Wonder Woman.

Arrow - Bratva television review

The search for the escaped General Walker (Garry Chalk) and his stolen nuclear weapon take Oliver (Stephen Amell) and company to Russia where he’ll be forced to make some hard choices to prevent Diggle (David Ramsey) and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) from both going down a dangerous road.

Silk Stalkings - Silk Stalkings television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the self-titled pilot episode of USA Network’s cop drama set in the wealthy playground of Palm Beach, Florida, where partners Rita Lee Lance (Mitzi Kapture) and Chris Lorenzo (Rob Estes) work crimes of passions, referred to internally by the department as “silk stalkings.” The first murder of the week involves the death of a model which leads them to the son of a wealthy businessman (Todd Eric Andrews) known for getting rough with the fairer sex. Most of the pieces of the series are put into place here including the show’s use of golf as a metaphor for sex, Rita and Chris using the nickname “Sam” for each other, the unexpected choice of Rita being the show’s narrator, and the pair’s obvious attraction but strictly platonic love for each other.

The Flash - Untouchable television review

“Untouchable” offers a remnant from the Alchemy storyline, as a Flashpoint meta-human stalks those that hurt him in a reality rewritten by Barry‘s (Grant Gustin) time jumps. Clive Yorkin is a minor Flash villain to be sure, but his power set of being able to kill with a single touch does allow him to fit into the show fairly well. The fact that Joe (Jesse L. Martin) is one of his targets, Julian (Tom Felton) feels responsible for his existence, and Iris (Candice Patton) is hurt by him, all make the Yorkin’s threat personal to the members of the team.

Green Arrow #16

Green Arrow #16 comic reviewGreen Arrow #16 begins with a happy reunion but ends in tragedy. The return of Emiko Queen certainly lightens Oliver’s recent hardships which include being hunted by the Seattle Police, having Oliver Queen thought dead, and living in the forest as a modern day outlaw.

Working with Chief Westberg, Ollie, Emi, Black Canary, and Diggle take down the dangerous rogue cops known as the Vice Squad. It’s a big win for Green Arrow, both in cleaning up the streets and repairing his tarnished reputation, but before the night is even over celebration will turn to tragedy with the return of the Dark Archer Malcolm Merlyn.
