'She-Hulk, Attorney at Law' – Season 1, Episode 2: 'Superhuman Law'


Didn't I only do one these the other day? More like the day before yesterday... That's what comes of letting things getting away from me and then having to play a little catch up. Oh well, that's the way it goes ;o)

Having see the first episode of 'She-Hulk', I was pretty determined not to let this series slide (I promise I will get round to watching you 'Ms. Marvel', promise...) so took advantage of some free-time to watch episode 2 last night. And I will get into that but before I do... Is it time for a little mini-rant about the end credits? Why, I do believe that it is :o)

End credits are important, just to acknowledge the hard work that everyone does, but seven solid minutes of credits (I'm not forgetting the end credits scene but there's hardly any of that) after only twenty three minutes of 'She-Hulk'...? I don't know about you but I would rather have the credits run a little faster and send a few extra minutes back into 'She-Hulk'. You know, the show that everyone put so much time into? But anyway... I guess it means that the show has to be doing something right (to get that reaction from me) but even so... That's pretty much the reason why this post is going to be a short one, there's not actually an awful lot of plot to write about this week (and no, I'm not writing about the end credits).

What there is though... It's more of the same, from last week, and that means a lot to enjoy as we see Jen Walters pay the price for last week's finale but bounce back to head up her own 'Superhuman Law' department at the Firm that got her fired from her old job. The condition? She has to do it all as 'She-Hulk'. Yep, I think the story is going to follow the ol' 'be true to yourself' storyline but the saving grace could well be that Jen has to figure out what that is first, and I think that will be fun. Hulk hangs around just long enough to dish out a little advice and then he's off to... I don't know, just 'out of the way' I think. And that's cool because we get introduced to Jen's family who are on hand to dish out advice as and when (not) required. I love the fact that they're not phased at all as they already went through this with Bruce. I also love the fact that Jen's Dad is not above getting her to help with all the chores that require heavy lifting. After all, what's the point of having a hero in the family (even if Jen doesn't want to be one... yet) if you can't make use of their powers to get stuff done? ;o)

All of this doesn't leave a lot of time for Jen to take on her first case but that's actually fine as she's not on the case for long before it all comes crashing down around her. Another 'set up' episode then but one with enough wit and heart that you don't mind all that much. Seriously though, enough of the credits...

‘The Long and Hungry Road’ – Adrian Tchaikovsky (Black Library)

After not finishing ‘Witchbringer’ (not the book’s fault, I still think it could be worth your time), I thought I’d change pace a little and go for a short, sharp burst of something instead. Something that would blow a few cobwebs away and wake me up a bit :o) Now in my experience, there’s nothing shorter and sharper than a Warhammer short story so that was the direction of my reading taken care of. And as far as the focus went… I’ve read a few Warhammer tales, in my time, but I’ve never read a tale that looks at the events of the 41st Millennium through the eyes of the rapacious Tyranids. So when I saw ‘The Long and Hungry Road’ on Amazon, it pretty much chose itself. To face a Tyranid invasion is a waking nightmare. The skies darken with spores, your mind echoes with alien screeches, and countless weapon-organisms descend upon you with razor teeth and claws. How much greater would your horror be, to realise that the hive ship above thinks nothing of your fate – that it crushes you

'Mad God' (2021)

It's that time again where Youtube throws me a 'Shudder' advert and I think to myself, 'I'm paying five quid a month for this, I really should watch something, lets give it a go...'   This time round, 'It' was the film 'Mad God' and the trailer was this mad batshit crazy shot of stop-motion horror that was over before I'd had a chance to get my head round it; leaving me pretty unsettled but with no clear idea just why that was... That's all I need sometimes, I was in... It's almost an hour later and, damn, that was grim, bleak and... What the hell just happened? A corroded diving bell descends amidst a ruined city and the Assassin emerges from it to explore a labyrinth of bizarre landscapes inhabited by freakish denizens. That is about all I can tell you about 'Mad God' and that's only because I had a quick look on IMDB and that was all IMDB could tell me... 'Mad God' is any number of things but it's not

‘Worms of the Earth’ – Robert E. Howard.

Page Count: 27 Pages I have a copy of this on my shelf and the plan was to pick it up for a read on the way into work this morning. Well, that was the plan but I was half asleep, leaving the house, and totally forgot… No matter though, that’s what the Kindle app is for (although if I’d been a little more awake, I’d have read it off Project Gutenberg instead, you can find ‘Worms of the Earth’ Here ). 99p later and my ‘commute reading’ was secured 😉 I always seem to fall into the trap of just reading ‘Conan’ stuff whenever I fancy reading a little Howard. Not that that’s a bad thing, it’s just that there’s a lot of his other stories out there that are more than worth your time when you come across them. ‘Worms of the Earth’ is very much one of those tales but you knew that already, didn’t you? You didn’t? You should do something about that, take it from me… After witnessing one of his subjects die at the hands of Roman governor Titus Sulla, Bran Mak Morn vows vengeance on Sulla but at w
