Last episode of Stargirl ended with the sudden and unexpected appearance of the Ultra-Humanite, a very dangerous foe of the JSA for decades. Considering that, obvious raw power to one side, the Ultra-Hunanite has a few specialties that are very troubling, it makes me wonder about a few things. Actually, it incites the same level of paranoia as much of the Skrull presence in Secret Invasion.
Few days ago I wanted to check my IMDb account and while I was searching for a new movie to watch, I realized that I’ve seen every title in the top 250 list. And I think this was the moment that I accepted I’m a cinephile enough to argue with someone about the kings of cinema…
The Secret Invasion is continuing, and “Betrayed” could apply to a few developments in this episode.
The group that’s being forced to work together is starting to gel, and while I don’t think they’ll be a team for any of the usual reasons, survival is a good motivator. With most of the city turned against them, the gang really is “Under Pressure.”
they do a few interesting things in “Mask of the Red Death, Part One.” The title, obviously, is a nod to the classic Edgar Allen Poe story.
There’s still no real progress on finding out who killed the Gambler, Cindy seems to have dropped out of sight, the JSA still isn’t working like a team, and Pat is recovering from his recent trip to the Shadowlands. Add in the Mahkent grandparents really sliding to the dark side, and there’s a lot to chose from for the title “Frenemies: Chapter Nine: The Monsters.”
I am going to talk about an amazing comic book which is one of the darkest comic books I’ve read: Tom Taylor’s DCeased.
It’s a war being fought in the shadows that’s already claimed a beloved MCU character, and at least implied that some others may have already met a dark fate. The Secret Invasion is continuing, and “Betrayal” could apply to a few developments in this episode.
The adventures of the world’s weirdest supers (note, I didn’t say superheroes) continue as the Doom Patrol gets close to the end of their third season. Rita is actually motivated for once, having a vested interest in stopping Madame Rouge now. The rest of the team, as usual, is wrapped up in their own drama…
The Secret Invasion is here, and things are getting complicated. Like with many Marvel movies, the bad guys here at least have an understandable motivation.
