Heroes Reborn Episode 11 Review – ‘Send in the Clones’
Tai Freligh reviews the eleventh episode of Heroes Reborn, ‘Send in the Clones’… So this week’s episode of Heroes Reborn was the first one back after the mid-season finale.

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 9 Review – ‘Blood Bonds’
Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Supergirl… If ‘Hostile Takeover’ seemed truncated in its need to leave us hanging, then ‘Blood Bonds’ seeks to remedy its predecessor’s tardiness.

Comic Book Review – Bitch Planet #6
Zeb Larson reviews Bitch Planet #6… “Extraordinary Machine” uncovers the past of the Bitches’ secret weapon Meiko Maki, how she went from promising engineer to killer—and the ace up her sleeve.
