Reviews, ruminations, and (occasional) ramblings.
Episode 7: Fae Gone Wild
This one starts pretty much where the last episode left off. Bo and Kenzi are contemplating the “gift” the Morrigan gave Bo, which supposedly can help Lauren’s secret girlfriend Nadia, thus freeing Lauren from the Ash’s influence. But if Lauren’s girlfriend comes back, then she and Bo can’t be together anyway, so kind of a Catch-22. Continue reading “Lost Girl Reviews: Season 2, Episode 7”
Superman #316 – “The Heart Attack That Crippled Superman” – Martin Pasko/Curt Swan/Dan Adkins
This continues the Metallo/SKULL storyline from a few issues ago. We see Metallo robbing the Metropolis Natural History Museum of some kryptonite and Superman trying to stop him. Supes gets zapped by Metallo’s green K chest beam and Metallo takes off with the kryptonite. Continue reading “Comics Review: Superman 316, Action 476, Warlord 9”
Batman #292 – “The Testimony of the Riddler” – David V. Reed/John Calnan/Tex Blaisdell
The “trial” storyline from last issue continues here, with a gathering of villains trying to get the truth about which one of them killed Batman. This time, it’s Riddler’s turn to tell his tale, which he does in another extended flashback. He tells his fellow crooks about how he lay in wait on one of Batman’s patrol routes so he could give the Caped Crusader a clue to his next crime—which is the Riddler’s shtick, as I’m sure you all know. Continue reading “Comics Reviews: Batman 292, Brave and the Bold 137”
Episode 6: It’s Better to Burn Out Than to Fae Away
This one starts with Bo and Lauren talking some girl talk as Kenzi looks on, trying not to hurl. Lauren’s telling Bo about her Prom date from hell (I guess Lauren’s still staying with them) and Kenzi finally has enough and walks away. Continue reading “Lost Girl Reviews: Season 2, Episode 6”
Black Lightning #4 – “Beware the Cyclotronic Man” – Tony Isabella/Trevor Von Eeden/Vince Colletta
We continue with the ongoing saga of Black Lightning vs. Tobias Whale and the 100 vs. the Metropolis Police Department. Black Lightning has just stopped a drug shipment at the docks, but the cops show up to arrest him. He fights back (which probably isn’t going to endear him to the fuzz) and wonders how the police always seem to know where he’ll be. Continue reading “Comics Reviews: Black Lightning 4, Jonah Hex 4”
Flash #253 – “Don’t Mess With the Molder” – Cary Bates/Irv Novick/Frank McLaughlin
This one continues from last issue when Flash was melted by the Molder, who’s really Ralph (Elongated Man) Dibny in disguise. Ralph went undercover as a crook, but somehow turned into a real criminal and wasted Flash. Iris sees it on TV and freaks out, and Sue (who knows about Ralph’s disguise) can’t believe her eyes. Continue reading “Comics Reviews: Flash 253, Wonder Woman 235”
Episode 5: Brother Fae of the Wolves
This episode starts with Bo and Kenzi following Dyson around, begging him to help them with a case. They need him to use his super-sniffer to figure out whose blood is on a shirt they found. Continue reading “Lost Girl Reviews: Season 2, Episode 5”
Justice League of America #146 – “Inner Mission” – Steve Englehart/Dick Dillin/Frank McLaughlin
This one follows immediately after last issue, with a resurrected Red Tornado being mobbed by the Justice League. But not everyone is thrilled to see old Reddy back from the dead; Superman is suspicious since last time Red Tornado came back from the dead, it was part of a plot by T.O. Morrow. Continue reading “Comics Reviews: JLA 146, Superboy & the Legion 231, All-Star Comics 68”
Superman #315 – “Good Evening Superman: I’m Clark Kent … and You’re Not!” – Martin Pasko/Curt Swan/Dan Adkins
This one continues from last issue, showing us what’s happening after the plague ended in Central City. Superman and Supergirl go to the Fortress of Solitude and send Nam-Ek into the Phantom Zone. Supergirl takes off, leaving Supes to relax. But his downtime is interrupted when an alarm goes off warning him that SKULL is making a move. Continue reading “Comics Reviews: Superman 315, Action 475”
Episode 4: Mirror Mirror
This one starts with Bo and Kenzi having a drink at the Dal and watching Dyson flirt with one of the waitresses and some blonde girl. Hale says they’re celebrating convincing a mob mistress to testify against her gangster boyfriend—mostly because she’s kinda hot for Dyson. As for the waitress … well, she’s obviously pretty into him, and he doesn’t seem to mind. Continue reading “Lost Girl Reviews: Season 2, Episode 4”
