Disney+ Retrospective - WandaVision

I’m likely going to do episode by episode breakdowns for most of the Disney Plus Marvel line-up but I’m making an exception for WandaVision, which especially in its early episodes has a main plot happening very much in the background. Because of it happening so close to the end of Infinity War, Wanda being among those blipped and the 5-year time-jump, there really wasn’t time in those films to explore the impact the death of Vision, that’s where this show comes in. Let’s take a dive in and see how things go.

Alex Rider Retrospective - Season 1 Episodes 7-8

We’ve got 2 episodes left of Alex Rider to cover and thusfar it’s been a strong showing, though the pacing can be a bit hit or miss.

Comic Book Lucky Dip: Tales from the Dark Multiverse: Infinite Crisis

Welcome back to the comic book lucky dip where I pick one of my thousands of comics at random and review it without explaining the backstory or context to the story. And well, chosen at random this week is a one-shot issue. Tales From the Dark Multiverse: Infinite Crisis. And this is a perfect fit for this format as it’s a one-shot issue so the story is self-contained but also a major misfit because it’s a retelling of an old(er) event comic and per the rules of this format, I must not make reference to it at all [watch me fail at that]

On writing duties we have James Tynion IV who is a decent writer of many books I’ve enjoyed, and a few that I didn’t. On pencils it’s Aaron Lopresti, I hadn’t seen much of his work before but from what I can tell, he never seems to stick around. Might just be bad luck, or fill-in jobs. Matt Ryan is on Inks, not the guy who plays Constantine.

Alex Rider Retrospective - Season 1 Episodes 5-6

We’re back with another look at the Amazon/Sony adaptation of Point Blanc. It’s certainly taken some liberties with the source material but as a spy show it’s doing quite well with it, can it keep up the momentum or will the pacing issues finally cause it to stall? Let’s take a look.
