Beetlejuice

Despite snagging the title, it’s important to remember that Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) wasn’t the main character of the 1988 comedy (in fact he appeared on-screen for less than 20 minutes of the film). Instead, the main characters are the recently deceased Adam (Alec Baldwin) and Barbara (Geena Davis) struggling with life after death while haunting their country home which is being invaded by a New York real estate developer (Jeffrey Jones) and his odd family (Catherine O’Hara and Winona Ryder).

Delicious in Dungeon - Griffin/Familiars

Leaving the comfort of the Golden Country, the party sets off to find the Winged Lion who may help them in their quest. The change in scenery breaks the calming spell effecting Izutsumi (Mitsuho Kambe) as the group find themselves in a dwarven cistern deep in the dungeon. “Griffn/Familiars” is notable for several reasons including providing some backstory for the mad mage Thistle (Yû Kobayashi) and lay the stage for the tight-lipped Senshi (Hiroshi Naka) to provide information about his own past. The episode ends at the beginning of Senshi’s tale. Before we get there, the party will have to deal with a Griffin (the first creature to have Senshi running in fear) but the Familiars created by Marcille (Emily Rudd) help take down the creature. Marcille is proud of her creations, although less so once  Laios (Damien C. Haas) begins cooking them for dinner.

Green Lantern #14

An Absolute Power tie-in issue, Green Lantern #14 gives us both Alan Scott and Hal Jordan as prisoners in one of the Bureau of Sovereignty‘s facilities. The two are dealing with their incarceration differently. While Scott remains in his cell for the entire issue, playing chess with the Amazo robot who stole his power and contemplating whether or not it can be turned to his side, Hal breaks out and spends most of the issue attempting escape (which he eventually succeeds in doing thanks to a little magical help).

The second episode of the final season deals with the fallout of Ben‘s (Justin H. Min) actions as all the members of the Umbrella Academy save one wake up with horrible hangovers and their powers restored (albeit slightly different in some cases) and the lone holdout will be forced to join them by the end of the episode. Restored, the family travels to sleepy town of New Grumpson, Maine to try and find Jennifer (Victoria Sawal), who will come upon Ben first while the rest of the family deals with the murderous intentions of the townsfolk who all work for Hargreeves Enterprises.
