The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is a movie set in one corner of The Lord of the Rings Universe. Sadly, it’s not a particularly interesting corner devoid of anyone other than the squabbling humans of Rohan. Providing the storyline of how Helm’s Deep got its name, the story revolves around the pride of men and quest for vengeance that ends badly for all. Honestly, I’m bewildered why anyone thought this was the story to expand the universe of Tolkien beyond The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

The war of wizards and gods comes to a close in Red Sonja #18 as Sonja rejoins the fight and eventually comes face-to-face with Kulan Garth.

After peaking with “The Message Hidden Within the Pattern,” the Second Season of limps to the finish line with a what if multiverse style story followed by two episodes more concerned with the Noxian army’s collaboration with Viktor (Harry Lloyd), while never truly exploring the moral ramifications of what he has accomplished or Jayce‘s (Kevin Alejandro) obsession which cause the conflict, and their attack on Piltover rather than the characters who have made up the emotional core of the series. The result is an underwhelming finale with some individual moments that ends with a whimper rather than a bang.

Halloween comes to Waverly Place in “Something Wizard This Way Comes.” Apparently, for wizards, Halloween is bit like Christmas (but spookier) with carols, treats, presents, and a visitor who doesn’t so much bring presents but eats children and candy. While no believes Billie‘s (Janice LeAnn Brown)  story of Pumpkin Belly, that doesn’t stop Billie, Roman (Alkaio Thiele) and Winter (Taylor Cora) from being eaten by the monster and figuring out a way out (which, honestly, is pretty easy).
