Jurassic World: Chaos Theory - Down on the Ranch

The theme of reuniting the band continues in “Down on the Ranch” as  Darius (Paul-Mikél Williams) and Ben (Sean Giambrone) arrive in Texas to collect Sammy (Raini Rodriguez) from the Guitierrez Cattle Ranch. We also get a reunion with Bumpy who has been living on the ranch since Sammy’s return (much to the displeasure of her neighbors). Their reunion is cut short by another run-in with the raptors as the three barely make it out alive and hoping Bumpy can survive on his own. There are several questions of course (why not target the extremely isolated Sammy before the boys could warn her?) but the format, racing for their lives and dealing with the fallout of their shared experiences, continues to be the backbone of the show.

Nightwing #115

Nightwing #115

Continuing the “Fallen Grayson” arc, Nightwing #115 picks up at events of the fundraiser spoiled by Heartless. The entire event was staged to get his hands on Dick Grayson (and underneath Batman‘s nose, which might be the hardest aspect of the story to accept). After discovering his secret, and realizing he can remove two enemies (both Grayson and Nightwing) in one fell swoop, Heartless enacts the next stage of his plan framing Dick Grayson for his crimes by drugging him, dressing him up as the super-villain, putting a gun and victim at his feet, and leading the police to the crime scene.
