We’ve reached the 3/5ths point for those hung up on
fractions!
To see all the episodes click here.
I also wanted to take a minute and really extend my
thanks to bureau42 for their ongoing support, almost
since the beginning. It’s a fun site that I check
almost daily, without all the pretense and geekier
then thou attitude, yet still fun and indepth.

Charlie Jade: The Enemy of My Enemy
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
–old adage
I’ve been out of town, and so I’m posting this review a little late. I received an e-mail from Denis McGrath, the writer of last week’s ep; apparently, he sometimes reads this site. If anyone else associated with the show happens upon my reviews: you have one of the best shows on television, genre or otherwise.
This episode explores the implications of torture, terrorism, and other activities typical of action heroes.
Weekly Comics Discussion – July 13, 2005
This week’s shipping
list has a few items of interest. First and
foremost: Dark Horse’s Serenity prequel
trilogy, written by Joss Whedon, hits shelves today in
three variant covers. (Do you folks want this
reviewed an issue at a time, or all three issues
together?) Interested shoppers can also find
Essential Killraven Vol. 1, New Avengers
#7, Ultimate Fantastic Four #21 (marking
the return of Mark Millar and a cross-over with the
regular Marvel Universe), Ultimate X-Men #61
(which I’ll get in TPB form later on) and Ultimate
X-Men Vol. 11: The Most Dangerous Game. Also
available are X-Men: The End: Book 2: Heroes and
Martyrs #5 of 6, another one I’ll get in TPB
form, Superman / Batman Vol. 3: Absolute
Power in hardcover (I’m holding out for
paperback), Rann Thanagar War #3, All
Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder #1
(featuring the return of Frank Miller to writing
Batman, with Jim Lee on pencils), Marvel Knights 4
Vol. 3 in TPB form, and new printings of
Essential Avengers Vol. 1 and Essential
Thor Vol. 1, both of which have been reviewed.
(Those reviews can be found through this
page, which includes every review written under
the 42 point system.)
