It

ItAdaptions of Stephen King‘s work to film and television have been mixed over the years. One of the most successful was 1990’s two-part mini-series adaptation of IT. Constrained a bit by it’s TV cast and limited special effects budget, It works in large part thanks to the creepiness of it’s source material and the casting of Tim Curry as Pennywise the Clown (an evil entity which torments and lures children to their deaths in Derry, Maine.

Taking place both in flashbacks to 1960 and in the present 30 years later, the story follows the return of the Derry “Losers Club” (Richard Thomas, John Ritter, Annette O’Toole, Harry Anderson, Dennis Christopher, Tim Reid, and Richard Masur) home to finish the creature they hoped they had killed three decades before as children.

Lucifer - The Weaponizer

Lucifer‘s Second Season takes a dark turn with the arrival of Lucifer’s brother Uriel (Michael Imperioli). Given his power to see and change patterns to fit his desired outcome, the angel arranges for Chloe‘s (Lauren German) car crash to get his brother’s attention. Uriel’s powers are actually quite fascinating, and I’m curious to see what else God’s other children might be able to do. Giving Lucifer an ultimatum of 24 hours, Lucifer must either turn over his Mum (Tricia Helfer) to his brother or watch Chloe die. As usual, Lucifer finds a third option out of his problem, but the choices he makes at the end of the episode are likely to haunt the character for some time to come.

Darth Vader #25

Darth Vader #25The final issue of Marvel’s Darth Vader series wraps up both ongoing storylines. First, the Dark Lord of the Sith confronts Cylo-V once more. This time, however, Darth Vader makes certain the cybernetic expert won’t be able to escape by moving his consciousness to another cloned host body. Once victorious, Vader returns to the Emperor and receives a surprise.

Vader’s shock that Dr. Aphra has come clean with the Emperor, exposing all of Vader’s secret plans and maneuverings, is nothing compared to the shock Aphra discovers when Palpatine rewards his apprentice’s initiative. The droid expert is unceremoniously shown the door and blasted into space. It’s a fitting end to the character, however, writer Kieron Gillen can’t quite bring himself to kill of Aphra and allows for the opportunity for Aphra to resurface sometime in the future in another Star Wars comic.
