The second season of Star Trek Discovery has been great. I’m a little on the fence on the whole Spock and Pike inclusion but the storytelling has been excellent. And now with the so-called Red Angels being revealed to be humans from the future trying to change the timeline, a lot of things are starting to make sense. The biggest issue I’ve had with the show if the technology. It’s clearly inspired by JJAbram’s Kelvin Timeline, yet the show-runners claim that this takes place in the the Prime Timeline– the one with the original Star Trek show. It looks like this will be something similar to JJ Abram’s movie franchise. There’s been an alternate reality created where things have changed. That would account for us never hearing about Spock’s sister, since it was revealed that she was originally killed as a child, before the Red Angels helped Spock change that. I’m loving this!!!
Miles Morales: Spider-man has had one hell of a great start. This team-up with The Rhino has been something unexpected and awesome. Throw in an appearance of Captain America and you got all types of wonderful. We haven’t seen Miles and Steve together since the Civil War II/Secret Empire craziness. I expected to have some type of call-back to add some closure. But what we got is a very ‘strange’ Captain America. I don’t know if he was suppose to be awkward or is Ahmed didn’t get Cap’s voice right, but it still all worked.

Daisy Johnson/Quake (played by Chloe Bennet) did some serious leveling up in 2018. In fact, the entire show raised the strakes, traveling forward in time and then stopping a separate alien invasion, during Thanos’ attack on Wakanda. And with ABC giving the show another two seasons based on the strength of season 5, you know they have plans for Quake in the MCU.
Starting a new job this month, my comic book reading has cut down significantly for the time being. Most of the books on my pull list still haven’t been opened. But there still were some must-reads I needed to get through on my commute. My book of the week has to be The Punisher #8, which sees Frank Castle finally taking over the Hydra prison. This played out like an awesome movie. Matthew Rosenberg has been killing it on this book the past couple volumes. Castle’s one-man war against Hydra should come to an exciting conclusion!
The other book I touched this week was Avengers: No Road Home, Brought to you by the team who brought use the last weekly mini-series Avengers: No Surrender, Al Ewing, Mark Waid and Jim Zub. It looks like they’ll be using the 80’s line up of the West Coast Avengers this time, with Rocket Racoon along for the ride. Sweet!!!
