Batman #243

Throwback Tuesday takes us back more than 50 years to Batman‘s pursuit of Ra’s al Ghul around the world ending at a secret base high in the Himalayan Mountains and the first appearance of the Lazarus Pit. Written by Dennis O’Neil and drawn by Neal Adams, Batman #243 begins with Batman besting Lo Ling in combat forcing the other man to help the Dark Knight Detective find the illusive Ra’s al Ghul leading the pair to Switzerland and a run in with Ubu and Talia (one of who treats him much more warmly than the other) before storming the refuge of the Demon’s Head only to learn of Ra’s recent passing.

Nights #9

You have the feeling all through Nights #9 that this is the calm before the storm. However, at least for an issue, our characters are enjoying themselves in this Christmas trip to New York City for Vince’s college admission interview and a chance for couples of Gray and Vince and Ivory and Molly to grow closer and everyone to have a fun relatively monster-free holiday apart from the craziness of their daily lives. Sounds boring, but it isn’t as the title continues to deliver strong stories month after month.

The Lazarus Project - Episode 16

The Lazarus Project concludes with our time-traveling agents plans go mostly to shit, thanks to one member doing what’s necessary to protect the future leading to the death of several of the team and all those from the past who knew about time travel. It’s a bloody finale. While the episode ends with a tease of what a third season of the show might have looked like, the season finale works pretty well as a series finale with the time loop destroyed, and the future safe, but plenty of questions about the present as George (Paapa Essiedu) returns to a world different than the one he left with lingering questions about whether the actions of the Lazarus Project, and Sarah (Charly Clive) in particular, worked out for the best.

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory - The End of the Beginning

The season finale of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory features the Nublar Six staying alive and successfully exposing the black market dinosaur trade. Action is high in the episode that also reveals to the larger group Darius‘ (Paul-Mikél Williams) feelings about their missing friend. Rather than stick around, however, the group decides to follow the stolen dinosaurs to wherever they are being sent suggesting a new locale (likely staring on the ocean?) next season. However, the most notable moment from the episode comes from its epilogue teasing the return of the not-so-dead  Brooklynn (Kiersten Kelly)  in Season Two.
