Kara and Kal escape from the Lanterns and find themselves back on Krypton; however, it is not the real thing, as Kara has created her version of it with the Blue Ring. As they hide in their crafted utopia, an inter-dimensional Imp has found them and hopes to change her mind.

The Story:
This issue is a somber story of grief as Kara could not be more lost. I love how Griffin and Ethan introduce an alternative version of a very infamous Imp who appears caring and as though they could be a friend to Kara. It’s setting up that the grass is not always greener and you also should not trust every friendly-looking face in the galaxy. On the other hand, the internal struggle within the Lanterns is setting up an interesting concept. They seem torn as to what to do with Kara and Kal and even drop hints about yellow suns, making it seem as though they know something more. This has been an incredible run, and issue 3 dives even further into Kara’s trauma.
The Art:
This issue is beautiful with the use of blues. It’s a soft color that gives the reader a sense of comfort, which this version of Krypton is meant to do for Kal. Kara’s suit with her Lantern ring is killer as well, and I love the different styles she goes through. There is a stark contrast in the way Rod uses coloring as the utopian Krypton is shattered and Kara sees the anger and rage, as well as the comforting bed of flowers Kara lies in.
Final Thoughts:
Supergirl Survive #3 continues to take us into Kara’s stages of grief as she doesn’t know whom to trust. The color work in this issue is a soft, beautiful array of blue, and I am loving what the team is doing with this run. If you’re looking for a unique take on Kara and Kal’s origins, make sure to pick this issue up!

Writer/Letterer: Pallie Paul Allor Artist: Ermitis Blanco Color Artist: Brittany Peer Cover Artist: Victor Ibáñez
Writing
Anthony: Pallie Paul Allor does a really good job with pacing. This is an action packed story that never drops the ball and keeps pushing forward. There are times that it reminds me of Detroit: Become Human. The main characters Ace and Zora are AI robots that were built to be romantic companions for the humans that owned them. But they fell in love with each other and they are on the run. Allor builds these two up with unique personalities and distinctly different motivations while keeping the love between them electric. The dialogue is sharp, and even the minor characters feel like they have weight and importance. Something Allor does well is they let the story inform the reader as it unfolds. There isn’t a lot of exposition or explanation. Things just happen and you kind of just work it all out based on context. Kind of like life. It’s something I wish more writers would do.
Shawn: Pallie Paul Allor does another amazing job with this issue of Blüdwire. The relationship between Ace and Zora is so unique. They’re so unique and different, but work so well together. I enjoy seeing how this series continues to grow as the characters learn and know more about the world around them. I also loved that Allor reminds us of how different Ace and Zora are compared to other robots. We get to see exactly how other robots in the world are treated as disposable. Allor peels back the curtain just a bit showing us that this pair may have some information that makes them worth more brought in rather than destroyed.

Anthony: Ermitis Blanco and Brittany Peer are both very talented in their own rights, but together the result is chef’s kiss! Preem! Nova, even! The world they’ve crafted feels real and lived in. When I read a comic, if I can visualize a live action movie and none of the details change in my mind, every background element, every character, every robot design… That is a testament to how good the artwork is. I really hope Blanco and Peer become fast friends and frequent collaborators! The action is well done with kinetic motion and a feeling of weight and strength imbued in the robots. Blanco excels at character expression and emoting, especially with Zora who doesn’t have a face yet still manages to show emotion through body language. Not an easy feat.
Shawn: Ermitis Blanco and Brittany Peer absolutely killed the art again in this issue. It feels like there’s a rugged quality to the art, which provides a nice contrast to a very sterile type of world where robots help in every aspect of life, from cooking to sex. Despite some robots like Zora not having facial features, Blanco and Peer still manage to make them very emotive in ways that allow readers to connect and understand them. Blanco and Peer really help you move beyond the fact that you are reading about robots in love and moves you more towards realizing these robots have some of the same feelings and difficulties human couples would.
Final Thoughts
Anthony: 10 / 10. Blüdwire is a frantic and tense love story between two Robots that should not be able to feel and yet the love they have is beyond what most humans have experienced in their lives. This is a special book and worth picking up.
Shawn: 9/10. This was another great issue from the creative team of Allor, Blanco, and Peer. Blüdwire continues to try new and exciting things each issue, drawing you back into the story. The narrative is a unique and well executed idea and the art is stellar.
The streamers announced the release of The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn, which is going to be the Director’s Cut that Director Chris Carter has always envisioned:
“A darker, frightening thriller exploring a real-life Dr. Frankenstein.”
The film’s full description reads:
“When a group of women is mysteriously abducted, it becomes a case right out of The X-Files. Years after walking away from the FBI, Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully are pulled back from the shadows when a federal agent vanishes without a trace. In a case you’d never see on TV, their only lead is a disgraced, defrocked priest claiming to have horrific psychic visions of the crime. Forced to confront the ghosts of their past, the partners must navigate a chilling winter landscape and an even darker human monstrosity. The truth of these crimes is out there somewhere … and it will take Mulder and Scully to find it.”
The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn premieres August 14th on Disney+ & Hulu.
The service has announced that they have acquired filmmaker Don Hertzfeldt’s animated film collection, which includes:
Lily and Jim
Billy’s Balloon
Rejected
The Meaning of Life
Watching Grass Grow
Wisdom Teeth
It’s Such a Beautiful Day (feature length)
World of Tomorrow
World of Tomorrow Episode Two: The Burden of Other People’s Thoughts

Paper Trail (9/1 streaming premiere)
Hertzfeldt had this to say about his films being added to Dropout:
“After seeing the films scattered across different streaming platforms for so many years, it’s amazing to finally bring them together under the same roof, for the very first time. I don’t know what Dropout is, but I hear it’s all game shows, and who doesn’t love a good game show?”
Paper Trail is being released to the service at the beginning of next month, and this is huge. The film won the 2026 Annecy Cristal for Short Film, the first American-made film in 22 years to win that award at this year’s Annecy International Animation Festival.
Paper Trail premiered earlier this year at Sundance and won the Special Jury Award for Creative Vision. The 2 other Film Fest Award wins for the film were the Golden Gate Award from the San Francisco International Film Festival & the Audience Award & Best Animated Short Film from SXSW. While waiting for this one, viewers can check out the other projects first.
Spider-Man Brand New Day is crushing the box office records in theaters with an opening weekend total of $927 million.
Moreover, the film introduced new characters and saw a familiar return. It also laid groundwork for Marvel’s future.

SPOILERS AHEAD FOR BRAND NEW DAY
The first and most obvious was Sadie Sink’s character, Jean Grey, whom is not our first official mutant in the MCU, however, she is the biggest. At the end we see her on a bus headed to what we can only assume is upstate New York where she will become a student at Xaviers School For the Gifted and setting up the X-Men Saga in the MCU.
Next, Peter truly is his father figure’s son because in the film he created the universal inhibitor chip. If you are familiar with the X-Men at all, then you know there is a power dampening collar used on mutants and his universal chip could be a foreshadow to exactly this.
Jean DeWolff, one of Spider-Man’s closest allies in the comics, makes her debut here in this film with the two having a close relationship. Unfortunately, her death in the comics also sets the stage for Eddie Brock and Venom. Should they choose to go this route, our time with her may be limited.
Cindy Moon, one of Peter’s old classmates returns as a student at Empire State University and of Bruce Banner’s. Fans may know her in the comics as Silk, which begs the question, is she being teased and will we see that come to fruition?
Big potatoes, small potatoes, and explaining why not everything is an Avenger level threat, Helena explains why the New Avengers don’t get involved, a perfect way to bring us back to more solo films and street level issues. Not everything requires a massive team up and I loved how they included this.
Lastly, I thought for sure when Peter and MJ were looking for Jean and then when DODC was trying to track the wavelengths in Jean’s mind, this meant we were getting hints at Cerebro. Whether or not it was or can be is a different discussion, but I couldn’t help but wonder.
As we continue our zombie exploration of the Big Apple in ‘The Walking Dead: DEAD CITY’ on AMC & AMC+, episode 2 takes us sightseeing. If you’re not up to date then check out the Spoiler Free SEASON 3 review HERE. Otherwise, WARNING: DON’T READ, SPOILERS INSIDE!
***WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD***
Last Seen on The Walking Dead: DEAD CITY
Last week we saw Negan hold The CROAT as he passed, new friends were made, a baby was saved, and Negan enjoyed some down time at the bar. We then wrapped the season premier with a happy ending, and surprise villain moment. A new life was celebrated, people bonded, and we see the Dama is still alive and evil.
Check out the recap & review for the first episode: ‘TRILLIUM‘
The Story for ‘HAVEN’
Wrapping up The Dama
The Dama is still a problem, and it’s time to move on. Negan, Maggie, and Pearlie decide they’re done. They’re going after her. She continues to spout her nonsense, and Negan is ready to end her for good. However, Maggie goes all Daredevil, and is insistent they got to lock her up instead! Maggie then confides in Negan that she wants to kill her. She feels he’s the only one who would truly understand that. The Dama is refusing to eat, but eventually chooses food when Maggie offers her a knife as an alternative solution. Unfortunately for The Dama, Negan has decided she doesn’t actually get a choice. He stages it like a suicide. He took the Punisher approach, while also giving Maggie exactly what she wanted. What a guy!

Setting Up Season 3
In addition to wrapping up The Dama storyline, more seeds were planted for season 3. Hershel has really turned a corner as he finds himself in zombie medical school under Dr. Luis, where he gets to practice stiches on his dad’s murderer. Other than getting stitches, and murdering The Dama, Negan also bonded with Dillard, his new BFF. They Home Aloned 2 some walkers with bricks, played video games, and Negan learns more about Dillard’s past and what made him the quirky guy he is today.
Negan also got yelled at by Maggie. Nothing new, but also very new. Their relationship is evolving from hatred to respect. Maggie wants his help. She believes he can help make this new community they have something good, and real. Negan has no hope that many “good people” are left, but he still seems to have hope that Maggie can make a community there.
The Statue of Liberty reads: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” Maggie wants to make this mean something again, and build a life for her and Hershel in the greatest city in the world. So Renata and Maggie go light up Lady Liberty!
Final Thoughts
If you read my review last week, then you know I enjoyed the premier, but I didn’t love it. It felt like season 2 was still wrapping up. However, this week took a different direction, and I was all for it! I was concerned we were going to linger too long on The Dama, but Negan took care of that. So now we can focus on these new people, and the potential for a new community, and new problems.
***WARNING: COMIC BOOK SPOILERS AHEAD***
In the Image Comics, THE WALKING DEAD, by Robert Kirkman, Maggie’s character becomes President of the Commonwealth. While we’ve seen her run other communities at times in the past, seeing her talk about this new community feels like they’re going in a similar direction. While the main show has wrapped, I love that the spinoffs still give nods here and there to their comic book counterparts.
Negan & Dillard
We’re so deep into the apocalypse at this point that we now have young adults that don’t remember a before time. However, the grown-ups do, and as much as they move forward they’re still mourning it. Negan and Dillard’s relationship is a breath of fresh air in a city filled with rats and zombies. They’re a nod to before while simultaneously being a representation of how used to living among the walking dead they have become. Their relationship immediately became my favorite thing about this season.
Jimmi Simpson has brought to life a character that I never knew a zombie apocalypse needed. He’s absolutely unhinged, but in all the ways Negan isn’t. Together the two of them are like peas and carrots, and I’m so excited to see their relationship bloom.

Overall Grade9/10
The Walking Dead: Dead City, Season 3, Episode 2 was incredibly satisfying, surprising, and fun. I’m very excited to see how this season plays out. With the New York ‘WELCOME’ sign turned back on, a new community of people, and Negan’s new BFF, it’s anyone’s undead city now.

Did you watch Season 3 Episode 2 of DEAD CITY? What are your thoughts?
All things that go up, must come down as the old saying goes. This has been true of the hit HBOMax series, ‘House of the Dragon’ as this week’s penultimate episode doesn’t quite nail the mark. That is not to say that the episode catastrophical upends an otherwise exceptional season. It is more, quite honestly, a means to highlight the phenomenal work thus far. As it stands, this episode does not hit the high mark set by the previous episodes, but it does, however, set up the season to end on a note that we will all be discussing for months to come.

The Waltz of the Dragons
Since her ascension, Rhaenyra has had a loose grip on her throne, her power, and her mental state. Grief has played an essential role in every decision that she’s made since she arrived in King’s Landing on the back of her dragon. Focusing primarily on the death of her sons and less on the day to day rule of her kingdom, Rhaenyra never let go of this feeling that Daemon was not being upfront with her about Sheepstelaer and his rider. Much of that uneasiness being planted by Mysaria, who seems to have her own game at play.
The pot rises to a boil as Baela, Rhaenyra, and Addam confront Daemon and Rhaena in the Vale, each upon their own dragon. The dragons show their true power as they shook the ground, rumbling and tumbling, gnashing and clawing across the landscape. Following the melee, the disfunctional family made their return to King’s Landing, a new problem added to an evergrowing list.
The events that are taking place in King’s Landing and with Rhaenyra have grown more and more convoluted with issue after issue piling up with no clear resolution. Rhaenyra, as a character, has hit a steep decline with the blame being put mainly on her being a female. While this, historically, would be true, it does not inherently mean that the Queen was weak by any means. Elizabeth used her feminity as a weapon against the mysoginy of the day. We’ve spent 3 seasons following a STRONG queen. For that to completly evaporate seems disingenuous.
This region of Westeros does benefit from having an exceptional cast, probably the best grouping of the series as a whole. Sonoya Mizuno and Emma D’Arcy share the lion’s share of each other’s screen time, adding a new layer to the story being told while giving audiences sheer beauty in performance. Matt Smith to his credit is his evercharming self. Again, the stand out in King’s Landing is Phia Saban as Helaena. I really want her to get her chickens, though I have a hunch that she won’t.

Adventures in Dreamland
Taking shape in the shadow of the Red Keep, Helaena’s dreams are becoming increasingly prophetic. The dreams have showed images of snow and winter, darkness and death. They could be the prophecy of Fire and Ice. They could be a prophecy of her own death, finally reuniting with her all of her children. Rhaenyra’s growing interest in Helaena and her dreams, however, is creating a much larger issue for Helaena and her own current state as she remains a prisoner of Rhaenyra.
Again, there is not enough that can be said about Phia Saban’s performance as Helaena becomes a much important cog in the machine that is King’s Landing and the Iron Throne. She has been truly phenomenal, holding her own with members of the cast who have had much more to do over the series run thus far. It has been refreshing watching Saban spar with the likes of Olivia Cooke and Emma D’Arcy.

Somewhere Down in Tumbleton
Tumbleton took a bit of a backseat this week as the small, occupied town will most certainly be the site of a massive battle in the finale. Preparations are being made as the armies of Rhaenyra approach the gates. Ormund has grown increasingly full of himself as Daeron and Gwayne look for a way to stop Ormund and his ambition. That ambition, however, gains the Hightowers a dragon when Ormund cuts a deal for Ulf and his dragon.

The Wicked Witch of Harenhal
Aemond has not been right since his arrival at Harenhal. Falling under the spell of Alys Rivers, Aemond has been manipulated time and time again as Alys becomes an everpresent figure in Aemond’s mind. That’s when Alicent arrives at Harenhal, creating a troubling problem for Alys. You see, dear reader, it’s hard to manipulate someone using the visage of their mother, IF, in fact, the real mother is there. Oedipal complex aside, Alicent is in immense danger at Harenhal as she seeks a way to murder her son, finally attempting nightshade as a means to an end. That, however, will not be enough to take down Aemond with Alys at his back.
This story arc is absolutely growing towards something much greater and much more important than what is being realized on screen at this point in the show. Between dragon eggs and relations between Aemond and Alicent, there is much more to the story than audiences are seeing. It was nice to see Alicent get out of King’s Landing and fight for her own survival in a truly immediate way. Olivia Cooke gave a masterful performance yet again, meeting Ewan Mitchell’s portrayal of Aemond in a softening way.

The Last Stand of King Aegon II
Tired of running and staring down an army that he most certainly cannot avoid, Aegon has had enough. This is, of course, much to the chagrin of his travelling partners, Tyland Lannister and Lord Larys Strong, who implore him flee. Larys taking his leave, Tyland staying by his side, Aegon is faced with the enemy army in the dead of night, choosing honor over cowardice. His decision to make his stand clearly finding him favor with the gods, Aegon finds Sunfyre alive and ready to rid him of the host.
Aegon’s story arc continues to be one of the best of the show. Tom Glynn Carney plays Aegon in a darkly comedic way that compliments the person Aegon is and the person Aegon wants to be. He can never seem to get out of his own way. That is until he finds a small stroke of luck in each moment that it’s mattered most.

Final Thoughts:
This week’s ‘House of the Dragon’ takes a huge leap forward and, unfortunately, a few steps back. While the series is finding it’s stride in some regions of Westeros, it’s fumbling in others, leaving a somewhat muddy lead up to what looks to be finale of gargantuan proportions.
Thursday was The Future Of White Wolf panel at Gen Con, and the team revealed Vampire: The Masquerade V6. Now, 6th Edition Vampire is going to be modernizing everything about the game, which will include revamped:
Dice Mechanics
Character Creation
Storyteller Tools
The new version will also introduce a reworked rules system and a much deeper toolkit for both players and storytellers. The new changes include:
Core System Changes:Vitae and Willpower/Health merge into a single resource, Difficulty subtracts dice from a pool rather than raising a target number, and players roll nearly all of the dice at the table.
Reimagined Tension:An added Beast/Nature Tracker and revamped Humanity Scale turn the struggle between Beast and Humanity into an active, personalized system rather than a static number.
Player and Storyteller Resources:Players earn Quickening on strong rolls, while Drama lets Storytellers complicate scenes, threaten The Masquerade, or empower NPCs.
Ideation and Creation:Play is further streamlined with a unified procedure for physical and social conflict. Create characters built around lifepaths, natures, clan traits, and merits. Discipline powers also scale with dots and favor active rather than passive use.
Mechanics:“Devil’s Bargains” and “Choose Your Pain” mechanics are added to support player-driven failure states, while Storytellers can enjoy a smoother, level-based building system for NPCs. Players and Storytellers can also easily find safety tools through explicit TTRPG Safety Toolkit callouts.
White Wolf’s World Of Darkness Creative Director, Jess Lanzillo, had this to say about the new project:
“We’re finally able to unveil that we’re working on Vampire: The Masquerade 6th Edition, and that we have a strong creative vision guiding us. Never before have we been able to bring the community into a Vampire: The Masquerade project at such an early stage, and we’re confident that will help us build a line of V6 books that speaks to both new and longtime players.”
Meanwhile, White Wolf’s Lead Game Designer, Diogo Nogueira, added:
“With Vampire: The Masquerade 6th Edition, players get a faster engine that still keeps the things Vampire: The Masquerade veterans love, while removing friction. There’s less book-flipping, quicker NPC creation, and more mechanics that support the tension at the table. The new Nature/Beast Tracker especially creates that push-and-pull that reinforces the tone of Vampire: The Masquerade.”
Currently on Demiplane’s World Of Darkness Nexus, they have an alpha playtest where you can check out 7 of the 14 Vampire Clans that will be included.
Sana is exactly the kind of operative you want when everything goes sideways—which makes it especially funny that The Order sends her to Nano and asks her to do almost nothing. While her longtime partner Lukas infiltrates a heavily guarded Nanocorp research facility, Sana has to pose as his devoted wife and spend her days working undercover as a middle-school P.E. teacher.
For someone accustomed to dangerous missions, being stuck teaching eighth graders yoga is its own special kind of torture. Sana knows Lukas is putting himself at serious risk, but maintaining their cover means resisting every instinct telling her to jump in and help. But when his mission begins unraveling, Sana decides she’s spent enough time on the sidelines. Class is dismissed—and she’s ready to play offense.
Writing
So Alexandra Grant teamed up with Matt Kindt to write a comic. Let that sink in for a sec before we continue…
Okay cool. If you don’t know who Alexandra Grant is, she is a generational, multi-talented visual artist and social activist and she is wonderful! I was surprised/not surprised when I heard she was working on a comic book for Dark Horse. +1 surprised when I heard she was writing and not pulling illustration duties. +10 surprised when I read that she was teaming up with Matt Kindt on the project!
Matt Kindt. IFYKYK. Prolific writer with a flare for turning things inside out and upside down.
As these types of collaborations tend to go, it’s hard to tell where each contributor’s fingerprints are left on the story, but the collab is one that feels like a perfect match. I’m going to try to explain why this isue works so well.
Alright, here we go: Have you ever gone to a restaurant and the appetizers were fine, the meal was great and the dessert was so damned good you wanna slap your momma? That’s Nano #1 in a nutshell. Kindt and Grant start with what feels like a very generic and ‘by the numbers’ story involving some underground operatives that get the job done. Whatever that may be. No, seriously, I had no idea what the job was. I’m not even sure if Matt or Alexandra knew what the job was. Then the meal is served up and you get some meat and potatoes when you find out what the next mission is and learn more about Lukas and Sana, the two go to work and we meet some supporting cast members. Then things start to escalate and all of a sudden this thing that started out as one scoop of vanilla in a waffle cone becomes a wild-ass sundae that you’ll be thinking about until you get yourself another.
That’s the kind of writing that has staying power. When you’ve been reading comics, watching TV and movies and playing video games as much as I have, for as long as I have, being caught off guard is something akin to your great white whale. you appreciate it and you remember it until the next time you get yourself another.
Art
I’m going to preface this with a note of great import:
When it comes to comics, I’m what you call an “old head”. I grew up in the 70’s, started reading comics in the early 80’s and rode the wave to the hear and now. So I love the old styles like Ditko and Kirby AND I love Jim Lee, David Finch, Humberto Ramos, etc.
Natasho Busto has a very old school, style that feels new. It reminds me a bit of Colleen Doran, with a clean, cartoon/anime like feel to it. The art is crisp, consistent and characters are easily distinguished. Backgrounds are consistent and believable. It’s art that’s telling a story, not trying to blow your mind with each panel and I’m here for it. Super refreshing! Busto also handles colors and they compliment the line art, vivid, saturated and layered driving home that Saturday morning cartoon vibe.

Final Thoughts
This was a super fun read by the time I was finished with it. The slow burn works because the payoff was so unexpectedly great! The characters are relatable and behave like real people. It’s hard to tell who to trust and that is something I appreciate. I highly recommend Nano.
