The Flash - Flash of Two Worlds

Continuing the theme which began in last week’s season premiere, “Flash of Two Worlds” deals with the fallout of the singularity which brought Atom-Smasher (Adam Copeland) to Central City by introducing another visitor from Earth-2 and giving the show’s non-comic-reading audience an introduction to the Multiverse. Jay Garrick (Teddy Sears) isn’t the only new face to get attention in the season’s episode. The Flash from another world is unexpectedly overshadowed by a more recent comic character as Patty Spivot (played here by Shantel VanSanten) makes her first appearance as a member of the Central City Police Department while also teasing an upcoming romance with Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) which can’t start soon enough for me.

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Purpose in the Machine

While bringing back Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen), and eventually intertwining her into the ongoing Hydra subplot, the main focus of “Purpose in the Machine” deals with the investigation into the mysterious monolith and a discovery by Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) which gives the team hope of finding the missing Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge). The storyline brings back Peter MacNicol to reprise his role as former Asgardian Berserker Elliot Randolph who helps the team relocate the monolith to a dusty castle where, thanks to the help of Daisy (Chloe Bennet), the portal is opened once more.

Morning Glories #48

/ / Comics

Morning Glories #48The student elections finally come around in the latest issue of Morning Glories which plays on a running theme of the comic concerning perspective and how it effects what we know to be true.

In the first instance we’re give a flashback to Casey‘s time as Ms. Clarkson and her realization that, in the most unusual way, she really did cheat to beat out out Isabel at the science fair. The main story of the issue, the debate between Casey and Isabel in front of the student body, plays on these same themes. While Casey’s hate-fueled platform promises change, Isabel attacks her rival’s naivete at how the academy really works even going so far as to suggest Casey might be the school’s biggest problem.

While Casey sees herself as the white knight to take down Morning Glories Academy Morning Glories #48 paints a far different version of the character through Isabel’s speech. Is Casey’s individualism as dangerous to the collective whole of the Academy? If it is, isn’t that a good thing? Or, as Isabel states, is Casey’s quick temper likely to lead them all down a dangerous and destructive path?
