iZombie: Wag the Tongue Slowly

  While there are several major plots going on in the background, much of the focus on iZombie each episode is the murder of the week. Every once in a while, it’s hard to feel much sympathy for the victim. “Wag The Tongue Slowly” is one of those times. After a brief scene with a…

Flash: The Once And Future Flash

“The Once and Future Flash” proves that, while Barry is quite bright, he doesn’t learn very well. He has endangered his entire reality several times by going to the past and changing things in various ways, like retroactively killing Cisco’s brother, activating Caitlin’s latent Killer Frost powers, or changing the gender of Diggle’s baby over…

Supergirl: Ace Reporter

Supergirl is back in action with “Ace Reporter,” a kind of ironic title since she’s been unemployed for a while now. That comes up in the first scene or so, when she flies around the city and then goes to the DEO. She has to face a menace that even Kryptonians aren’t immune to: boredom.…

Gotham: Heroes Rise: How the Riddler Got His Name

After a very long, seemingly random hiatus, Gotham is back. In keeping with their tradition of naming sections of their seasons, this one is called “Heroes Rise.” Obviously Bruce would be part of that, and I guess Gordon accounts for the plural? I guess we’ll find out as we go. The show opens with a…

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 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…
