Jenny Sparks #1

Planetary may be my favorite team, but Jenny Sparks is my favorite character from the WildStorm Universe. The Spirit of the 20th Century saved the world by herself and with various teams including the Authority until the end of the millennium which was the last we heard of her. After killing God, something referenced in this comic, she died (and left a gaping hole the team could never fill). As part of DC’s Black Label, we get Jenny back… somehow.

Star Trek: Prodigy - Kobayashi

Star Trek Saturday gives us another episode of Star Trek: Prodigy. “Kobayashi” reintroduces two concepts from previous incarnations of Star Trek. The first, the Holodeck, is discovered by Dal R’El (Brett Gray) who becomes obsessed with the second: The Kobyashi Maru Scenario. Much of the episode consists of Dal failing the Starfleet training scenario over and over before learning the lesson that the program is meant to offer. The hologram scenarios are notable for offering versions of several Star Trek characters to fill out the training crew making use of their voices from the Star Trek library including Spock, Uhura, Scotty, and Odo which limits what they can say but still works well enough to sell the premise of the episode while offering a hat tip to what has come before.

Beetlejuice

Despite snagging the title, it’s important to remember that Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) wasn’t the main character of the 1988 comedy (in fact he appeared on-screen for less than 20 minutes of the film). Instead, the main characters are the recently deceased Adam (Alec Baldwin) and Barbara (Geena Davis) struggling with life after death while haunting their country home which is being invaded by a New York real estate developer (Jeffrey Jones) and his odd family (Catherine O’Hara and Winona Ryder).

Delicious in Dungeon - Griffin/Familiars

Leaving the comfort of the Golden Country, the party sets off to find the Winged Lion who may help them in their quest. The change in scenery breaks the calming spell effecting Izutsumi (Mitsuho Kambe) as the group find themselves in a dwarven cistern deep in the dungeon. “Griffn/Familiars” is notable for several reasons including providing some backstory for the mad mage Thistle (Yû Kobayashi) and lay the stage for the tight-lipped Senshi (Hiroshi Naka) to provide information about his own past. The episode ends at the beginning of Senshi’s tale. Before we get there, the party will have to deal with a Griffin (the first creature to have Senshi running in fear) but the Familiars created by Marcille (Emily Rudd) help take down the creature. Marcille is proud of her creations, although less so once  Laios (Damien C. Haas) begins cooking them for dinner.
