Spider-Man: Black Suit & Blood #4

Spider-Man: Black Suit & Blood #4 offers three more tales of Spider-Man in his black costume, although none of the trio of stories collected in the fourth and final issue include the symbiote. My favorite of the stories, “Past Lives,” takes place long after Peter’s time with the symbiote and his return to the classic red and blue costume. However, when he needs to break into the Latverian embassy and doesn’t feel right doing it in his classic colors, he reprises the black look once more while also hitting up Black Cat for help harkening back to a specific time in Peter Parker’s life.

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory - The Adjustment / Troubled Waters

After the reintroduction of Brooklyn (Kiersten Kelly), the show moves forward splitting the focus between Brooklyn and the rest of the Nublar Six who will eventually all reach the same location by season end. We see some of Brooklyn’s time with the DLN, explaining what she was doing with the rather dim eco-terrorists using them to find the Broker (Dichen Lachman) and nearly getting eaten by her pet raptor. We also see Brooklyn’s call with Ben (Sean Giambrone) and the reasoning behind her decision to stay disconnected from her friends. The tension in Brooklyn segments work really well, as she barely escapes for her life, but this also marks the end of her story making any sort of sense for the remainder of the season.

JSA #1

Every time DC relaunches JSA there are questions about what version of the team you are going to use and, more importantly, when and on what Earth you are going to place them. The new volume mixes in both original and rebooted versions of characters on Earth-0 on the modern timeline (rather than on a separate Earth or during WWII).
