Vengeance of Moon Knight #1

Marc Spector is dead. Isn’t he? We’ll get back to that one. Kicking off a new series we get a throwback to the previous series with a character, this time Reese rather than Marc Spector, talking things through with Dr. Andrea Sterman which offers the framing to see events of the past few weeks play out. Most of the issue is with the characters struggling to move on after Marc’s death, the Midnight Mission holding shiva for their fallen friend (with a few Marvel heroes stepping by to pay their respects) and then getting back to work.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Southern Air Temple

Wayback Wednesday takes us back to the world of elemental benders and a 12 year-old boy destined to return balance to the Four Nations. The reality of the world he’s lost hits home for Aang (Zach Tyler Eisen) when he, Katara (Mae Whitman), and Sokka (Jack De Sena) reach the ruins of the Southern Air Temple. Upon discovering the skeleton of his friend and mentor Gyatso (Sab Shimono), Aang unintentionally enters his Avatar state and alerts the world to his return. The episode is also notable for introducing the winged lemur Momo who joins the group on their travels and for the subplot in which Prince Zuko (Dante Basco) defeats Commander Zhao (Jason Isaacs) in a contest that proves his skill and alludes to how the prince received his scar.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters - Will the Real May Please Stand Up?

From the episode’s title, you can probably guess that this is the episode the dives into May’s (Kiersey Clemons) past and explores what she’s been running from. Given the foreshadowing and build-up, the reveal is a bit underwhelming but how events of the episode unfold do have ripples across the MonsterVerse beyond just this series as it relates to Applied Experimental Technologies. Needing help finding the friend they basically already abandoned, Cate (Anna Sawai) and Kentaro (Ren Watabe) team up with Tim (Joe Tippett) eventually leading to Monarch stepping in and helping procure her release, allowing her to rejoin the halfsiblings in their search.
