iZombie: Eat, Pray, Liv

  A lot of odd things happen on iZombie this week. Arguably, odder than normal, which says something in this world. I also want to strangle one of the characters by the end of the episode, but I’m getting ahead of things. There’s weird events and bad choices all over the place. The episode opens…

Titans Annual 1

Titans Annual 1 Writer: Dan Abnett Artist: Minkyu Jung Colorist: Adriano Lucas Letterer: Carlos M Mangual Cover: Brett Booth, Norm Rapmund, and Andrew Dalhouse Someone is abducting heroes, and many of the members of both the Titans and their mentors in the Justice League find themselves in a strange maze. Tempest, Aquaman, Donna, Wonder Woman,…

iZombie: Zombie Knows Best

  The new season continues, with sub-plots building and weird brain side-effects in full swing, in “Zombie Knows Best.” Unlike a lot of their usual episodes, this one has a lot of flashbacks in it, and focuses a lot more on Clive. I thought it worked well, and that’s even with me being sick of…

iZombie: Heaven Just Got A Little Bit Smoother

After a way too long break, iZombie finally returns. I don’t generally do recaps, but this has been such a long gap, I’ll make a partial exception. Among the many surprising events at the end of last season were: Clive learned about zombies; the Max Rager party ended in a massive zombie outbreak; Liv had…

Legends of Tomorrow: Aruba

  Legends of Tomorrow ends its second season with a really chaotic episode that has the pleasant-sounding title of “Aruba.” Well, taking a tropical vacation is a lovely idea, but it probably wouldn’t make for a very interesting episode. What we get instead is the climactic battle between the Legends and the Legion of Doom.…

Green Lantern/Space Ghost 1

Green Lantern/Space Ghost Writer: James Tynion IV and Christopher Sebela Artist: Ariel Olivetti Letterer: A Larger World Studios Cover: Ariel Olivetti Presumably to boost sales for their recent launched Hanna Barbera comics, DC is doing a bunch of team up one shots. I can’t say as I’m too interested in most of them, but I’ve…

Arrow: Disbanded

  Last episode, Oliver was battered and beaten by Prometheus. Now, he’s still looking horrible, and is sticking by his pronouncement that the team is done. I think that’s horribly unfair of Oliver. Even if he’s done as a hero, I question why he gets to decide that for everyone else. Then again, he’s not…

Legends of Tomorrow: Doomworld

Last time, the bad guys won in an ugly, decisive way. The Legion of Doom got the Spear of Destiny, and they used it. How bad is it? Well, Eobard Thawne, the Reverse Flash, is doing the opening voiceover now, which can’t be a good sign. As he says at the end, “It’s a brave…

Flash: Abra Kadabra

  After last week’s lighthearted “Duet,” we’re back into seriousness and moral quandaries. The race to save Iris tempts a few of the characters to do the wrong things. A supporting character returns, as does a villain, and we meet another of Flash’s classic comic foes in the appropriately titled, “Abra Kadabra.” In the comics,…

Supergirl: Distant Sun

  Supergirl’s life keeps getting complicated in “Distant Sun.” One thing I noticed that I hadn’t caught last episode is that her intro/voiceover is wrong now. She’s not working at CatCo. Either there’s something coming down the pike about that, or the show runners are being lazy. Or both, I suppose. The episode starts off…
