She-Hulk: The Retreat

We revisit a previous storyline and meet a host of new characters at “The Retreat.”

DC / TV Shows

Harley Quinn: Another Sharkley Adventure

Whatever you might expect from the Harley Quinn cartoon, you’ll probably be wrong. The show is utterly unpredictable, and they take full advantage of not being connected to any wider continuity.

Stargirl: Frenemies: Chapter Three: The Blackmail

As the investigation lurches around, we’re finding assorted other secrets, and an impressive collection of lost souls, for lack of a better term.

An overview of the Justice Society of America

There are a lot of different expectations for the Black Adam movie, which comes out in the United States on October 21, 2022. One of the things that has comic book geeks like me excited is that it’s the first time the Justice Society of America will be in live action in theatrical release. With this exposing the JSA to a much larger audience than they’ve potentially ever had, it seems like a good time to go over the history of the team.

Marvel / TV Shows

She-Hulk: Just Jen

The writers on She-Hulk are clearly having fun with everything they can get their hands on, including dating and sex in the superhero world, the weird way the law would work in a world with superhumans, and random Easter eggs and cameos. This week we get a fairly obscure character and the perils of being…

A Short History of Black Adam

Like any character that’s been around awhile, Black Adam has a complicated history. He’s been around longer than most, and that applies both within the DC Universe and in the real world.

Doom Patrol: Subconscious Patrol

…with some major developments for a few characters, events that should affect the team from this point going forward, and some really good writing and character exploration.

She-Hulk: Mean, Green, and Straight Poured into These Jeans

Last episode ended with Jennifer getting the surprising news that Titania, who she fought in court and was responsible for her being outed as a super, had trademarked the She-Hulk name and was suing to stop her from using it. It’s a weird dilemma that doesn’t come up often.

Harley Quinn: Joker: The Killing Vote

The show is definitely off in its own world, not connected to any other version of the DC Universe. This gives them some freedom to explore various ideas and be utterly untethered by the continuity or characterizations that have existed previously. It’s safe to say you never quite know what’s going to happen on this show, and that’s certainly the case with “Joker: The Killing Vote.”

Stargirl: The Suspects

Add in tension within the JSA over Cindy joining, Sylvester trying to settle in and come to grips with his resurrection, and a few loose ends from last season, and the new JSA and their allies are going to have their hands full. After the murder comes “The Suspects.”

She-Hulk: Is This Not Real Magic?

We get more of Wong, the Sorcerer Supreme, and a goofball would-be magician with an almost familiar name in “Is This Not Real Magic?”

Doom Patrol: Bird Patrol

. The Sisterhood of Dada is still around (have you noticed that almost everyone on this show has some version of not-quite-explained immortality?) and up to something ominous but obscure and weird.

Harley Quinn: It’s a Swamp Thing

We see unexpected couples counseling, two different surprise guest stars, and one very obvious one from the title. After all, if you need help with plant matters in the DC Universe, there aren’t a huge number of choices, and when you call the episode “It’s A Swamp Thing…”

Sandman: The Doll’s House

The Sandman has a very complicated history. While the title was part of the Vertigo line, it was still part of the wider DC Universe, and some heroes and villains came in and out of the book. They’ve made the decision to not bring in any superhero characters, so some slightly different versions of some of these characters appear in the series.

Stargirl: Frenemies: Chapter One:The Murder

Now, the new JSA has different challenges to face, dissension in the ranks, and a new theme for the season. The new season kicks off with “Frenemies: Chapter One: The Murder.”
