Directed by Ken Olin Written by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman & Mark Goffman Catch ‘Sleepy Hollow’ on Fox, Mondays @ 9/8c. Catch up at Fox.com BEWARE OF SPOILERS We’re a little late to the party with reviewing episode two after a busy weekend of keeping up with the ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’ pilot and taking a #GYCO trip to see Paramore. I was pretty stoked for this series after watching the pilot last week because it blew up the mystery and the legend of the show to epic proportions. I also keep a close eye on the ratings so it was great to see that…
Cover by Mike Allred Written by Jeff Parker Art by Ruben Procopio Coloured by Matthew Wilson Purchase your digital copy @ Comixology now! BEWARE OF SPOILERS This week ‘Batman ‘66’ inducts a new artist in to its roster and also takes a closer look at one of the lesser known villains of the TV series The Sandman. This issue takes a bit of getting used to in terms of its artwork. Ruben Procopio comes to ‘Batman’ as a fresh face and his artwork is a massive departure from what has come before in this title. His work is much more…
Directed by Joss Whedon Written by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen Watch ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ live on ABC, Tuesdays @ 8/7c and in the UK on Channel 4, Fridays @ 8. BEWARE OF SPOILERS So rather than watch the show direct from the USA I was a good boy this week and waited for the Friday night UK premiere to watch ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’ as hit US shows finally find themselves screening shortly after their home screenings. There’s no doubt about the huge amount of pressure on Whedon, Marvel and ABC to recreate the success of the Avengers movie on the small screen and…
Directed by Sam Liu Written by Mark Banker Watch ‘Beware the Batman’ live on Cartoon Network USA, Saturdays @ 10! BEWARE OF SPOILERS This week the mythology of ‘Beware’ takes a massive leap forwards with another episode that focusses on the shadowy League of Assassins but Liu and Banker also take the opportunity the mix up the format and reintroduce Anarky to the show and have his interests cross paths with the League. Up to this stage we’ve been told in interviews that Anarky is being setup to be the major villain on this season but this is only his…
Cover & Art by Patrick Gleason Written by Peter Tomasi Inks by Mick Gray & Mark Irwin Colours by John Kalisz Purchase your copy @ Comixology now! BEWARE OF SPOILERS Finally we have reached the final stage of grief: acceptance. After several months of trial and error partnerships with other characters from the Bat-world we finally fall to Nightwing to complete Bruce’s journey through the grief of losing Damien. The cover to this issue, although brilliant, is perhaps a little misleading. There were those convinced that this cover would signal the return of Damian from a lazarus pit experience to…
Cover & Art by Alex Maleev Written by Gregg Hurwitz Purchase your copy @ Comixology now! BEWARE OF SPOILERS Ahead of ‘Villains Month’ ‘The Dark Knight’ needed to wrap-up its Clayface arc and this issues ties everything up neatly with an airtight bow. When we left off last month Clayface was still on the lose and out for revenge and that’s still where we find him when this issue picks up. Essentially this issue as a story of catch me if you can with Batman trying to keep up with the elusive villain until he finally comes up with a…
Written & Directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff Catch ‘Hostages’ on CBS, Mondays 10/9c and catchup at CBS.com BEWARE OF SPOILERS Next up on the pilot list is NBC’s ‘Hostages’ a drama which, as you can tell by its title, is about a group of hostages… okay so it’s a little more complicated than that. This is the kind of show which is likely going to be a turn off for many viewers due to the sheer nature of its premise. Toni Collette plays Dr. Ellen Sanders a doctor at Maryland College Hospital who is picked to operate on the President of the…
Cover by Sean Murphy Written by Kyle Higgins Art by Thony Silas Colours by Andrew Elder Purchase your digital copy @ Comixology now! BEWARE OF SPOILERS ‘Batman Beyond’ is a brilliant little franchise that keeps on ticking away in the background whilst the mainstream Batman comic series take all the glory. Spinning out from the short lived TV series the ‘Beyond’ (or ‘of the Future’ for UK audiences) franchise has been through several comic iterations before finally finding its niche in digital first issues that find themselves lumped in with similar ‘Justice League Beyond’ and ‘Superman Beyond’ stories under the…
Written by Jon Bokenkamp Directed by Joe Carnahan Catch ‘The Blacklist’ on NBC 10/9c and catchup at NBC.com BEWARE OF SPOILERS! My second pilot for the 2013/14 season was always going to be ‘The Blacklist’. I hadn’t heard of the show until I was in San Diego during the summer and saw it advertised on the side of every other bus. The premise of ‘The Blacklist’ revolves around Raymond ‘Red’ Reddington (Spader) who, at the beginning of this episode, is high on the FBI’s ‘most wanted’ list. Reddington turns himself in to FBI headquarters in Washington, DC drip feeds the agents information…
