The Lazarus Project – Episode 1

  • Title: The Lazarus Project – Episode 1
  • IMDb: link

After living through the same six months twice, George (Paapa Essiedu) is recruited into The Lazarus Project, a secret organization that uses time resets to avoid the cataclysmic end of the human race. “Episode 1” takes a little while to get going, first seeing George and his girlfriend (Charly Clive) live out their normal lives and then a second time with George freaking out over deja vu, and finally a third time getting recruited and going to work for Lazarus.

Darth Vader: Black, White & Red #2

/ / Comics

The second issue of the black-and-white anthology continues the ongoing story of “Hard Shutdown” with a captive Darth Vader turning the tables on his would be tormentor Dr. Sendvall who may have found a way to immobilize the robotics of the Dark Lord of the Sith but foolishly underestimated the power of the Force (which is fun, but you wouldn’t miss much from the larger story by skipping the issue).
