Locke & Key - The Snow Globe

The show picks up for its final season with the Lockes having an uneventful few months since the end of Dodge (Griffin Gluck). Meanwhile, Captain Frederick Gideon (Kevin Durand) continues to search for the door to no avail. He gets some momentary assistance when Nina (Darby Stanchfield) and Bode (Jackson Robert Scott) find a snow globe and matching key which accidentally unleashes two demons (Diana Bentley and Susanna Fournier) determined to help the Captain. The snow globe, basically allowing someone to enter a snowy version of the reality of Key House when the key is inserted, is another fun addition to the show’s oddities (as is the animal key shown earlier in the episode). Although Bode gets trapped in the globe for much of the episode, Nina and Kinsey (Emilia Jones) are able to defeat the demons trapping them in the mirror.

Hack/Slash: Back to School #1

Set in the early days of Cassie Hack‘s days of hunting slashers with her partner Vlad, the opening issue of the four-issue mini-series teases an epidemic of children murdering their own parents while the larger story involves Cassie being invited to join a monster hunter school for girls (after seeing them dispatch a bunny killer in a diner). Lots of gore, off-beat humor, panic, and ominous overtones here from writer and artist Zoe Thorogood. In other words, just what you’d expect from a Hack/Slack comic.

Wednesday - You Reap What You Woe

Parents Weekend brings a family therapy session for the Addams and the return of Gozmez (Luis Guzmán) to town for the first time since his graduation from Nevermore Academy. Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) confronts both parents about the murder that occurred which allows for some flashbacks to events. The sudden apparent suicide of the coroner leaving an auspicious note about that murder case from long ago also gives Sheriff Galpin (Jamie McShane) the excuse he’s been looking for to finally arrest Gomez Addams for murder.

Spine-Tingling Spider-Man #1

After seeing Spider-Man make short work of Spidercide in the open pages of Spine-Tingling Spider-Man #1, with some beautiful art by Juan Ferreyra, the first issue of this series moves in an entirely different direction as we won’t see Spidey for the remainder of the comic. Peter wakes up to find his landlord, Aunt May, and MJ don’t know who he is. His Spidey powers are gone. The Avengers won’t take his calls.

The Fall of the House of Usher - Murder in the Rue Morgue

While the episode cuts from time to time back to the present, and once back to Roderick Usher’s (Bruce Greenwood) early days working for Rufus Griswold (Michael Trucco) which, honestly, I’m already out of patience for since they rarely do more than tease information they have no intention of actually providing, the majority of “Murder in the Rue Morgue” features the family coming together after Perry’s (Sauriyan Sapkota) death. We also see Arthur Pym (Mark Hamill) uncover the first clues to the involvement of our mysterious devil woman (Carla Gugino) while the show sets up two more deaths, the first of which will occur at the end of the episode in a sequence that is somehow both creepy and laugh-out-loud ridiculous when our evil woman, in chimp skins, beats the unlikable Camille (Kate Siegel) to death.
