'She-Hulk, Attorney at Law' – Season 1, Episode 3: 'The People Vs. Emil Blonsky'


It was a busy one, at work today, and so what I was after this evening was something fun on the telly, something with a few laughs in it so I could decompress a little. Talk about timing... I remembered there was a new episode of 'She-Hulk' and that was me sorted; I feel a lot happier now :o)

This is going to be another short post because 'She-Hulk' episodes are pretty short aren't they ?Well, not counting the obligatory seven minutes of credits that is, although you can fast forward through these. Pretty short then but a hell of a lot of fun at the same time, let me tell you about it. There will more than likely be spoilers though so bear that in mind before you carry on. Still here? Great, lets go.

If you're really not sure what's happening, the clue is in the title this week as Emil Blonsky has his day in court along with... Wong? I love the way that all of a sudden, the MCU has suddenly decided that now there's legal representation for super powered people, there are clearly going to be consequences for all those little things that look cool on the screen but aren't entirely legal. I'm looking forward to seeing Shang-Chi being taken to court, by the L.A. Transport Dept, for wanton destruction of a bus... Or not. We've already seen that Wong's instinctive reaction (to being told he has broken the law)is to get the hell out so is the next 'Civil War' event going to be around getting super-heroes to just show up when they're summoned to court? Are we looking at super powered bounty hunters going after a bail jumping Ant-Man for example? Am I going off on a tangent? The answers are no, no and a resounding yes. Lets get back to the show...

Add a little sub-plot, with a shape changing Asgardian, and a bunch of hoodlums after 'Hulk Blood' and you've got another example of a show that doesn't take itself seriously at all but can still switch between irreverent and slightly more serious with no issues at all. More 'Hulk Blood' plot though, I think that's where things are really going to get interesting and seriously, how many more villains are inside and applying for parole? Anyway, it's all very watchable and Tatiana Masalny is She-Hulk now, no doubt about it.

And that's about it really, 'The People Vs. Emil Blonsky' is a lot of fun but it's over in a flash (in a good way, but still) and I'm left waiting for next week to see where things go next. It's nice to feel that way about a show though so well played 'She-Hulk', well played... ;o)

'Conan the Barbarian: Battle of the Black Stone’ – Zub, Scharf, Canola (Titan Comics, Heroic Signatures)

It’s starting to look like this could be the week where I make a half decent dent in my ‘Comics TBR Pile’, lets see how we do... I’ve really been struggling with the ‘Savage Sword of Conan’ collection just recently (more than one reason but I want to finish the collection first before I talk about it) and I thought that I’d have to take a little step back from ‘Conan’ comics and come back when I was in a better mood for it. Until I realized that there was another ‘Conan’ comic lurking in the TBR pile and maybe I could give that a go instead. So that’s what I did. I’ve caught little glimpses of the ‘Black Stone’ storyline, in other ‘Conan’ comics, but I can’t help but feel that the event has kind of passed me by a little. That’s on me though to be fair, I’ve got the attention span of a goldfish right now and there are so many books that I just haven’t been able to focus on; I suspect a couple of them talk about a Black Stone… Oh well, I’m here now. Where better a place to catch up on ‘B...

‘Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth’ (1992)

Every time Halloween comes round, I promise myself that I’ll watch more horror films and read more horror fiction; we’re halfway through the month and you can see how that’s going so far… There’s still plenty of October left though so lets see how I do from now until the end of the month ;o) First up is ‘Hellraiser 3’ which I watched last night, mostly because I love it (you can tell how this post is going to go, sorry…) but also because it was cheap on Prime and I’m still just on the wrong side of payday. Here goes… TV reporter Joey Summerskill’s life is changed forever when she witnesses the horrific death of a teenager, torn apart by bloody chains. Joey’s search for a story leads her to the Lament Configuration Box but it has already been opened, waking an old evil from its slumber… Now Pinhead walks the earth once more, creating a new army of Cenobites from the transmuted flesh of his victims; his one desire to reclaim the Box. Even with help from an unexpected source, Joey Summers...

‘Dig Me No Grave’ – Robert E. Howard

  Page Count: Fourteen Pages, eight lines and two words (sorry, it has been one of those weeks) I was looking for something short and sweet, to end the week on, and came across ‘Dig Me No Grave’ courtesy of Paperback Warrior’s write-up . Having read it, I can attest to it being short (all of fourteen and a bit pages in ‘The Dead Remember’ collection) but sweet? Not at all and that is meant in the best possible way :o) ‘Dig Me No Grave’ was originally published in the February 1937 of ‘Weird Tales’ and while it has appeared in other collections since then, I read it in ‘The Dead Remember (The Dark Man Omnibus: Volume 2) and also found it in my copy of ‘The Horror Stories of Robert E. Howard. If you’re an e-reading type, you can grab yourself ‘Dig Me No Grave’ over at Project Gutenberg. John Kirowan is woken, in the middle of the night, by his friend John Conrad, bearer of bad news and come to beg a favour. The occultist John Grimlan has just died and Conrad asks that Kirowan att...
