Daredevil SN1 EP9 – ‘ Speak Of The Devil ‘

This review does contain spoilers. You’ve been warned.

From the opening moment of Daredevil being hit in the face, this episode makes it clear that it will hit viewers head on and not back down. These fight scenes between the devil and a Japanese assailant are inter-cut between the main plot. Matt is facing another crisis – he knows he has to take out Fisk for the good of the city however he has another dilemma not just from a legal standpoint but from his faith. Murdock talking with his priest offer great emotional intensity and create conflict.

Matt tries to bring down Kingpin both in and out of costume. Ben Urich approaches them with an article that exposes Fisk. However, Murdock knows there has to be some validation or Fisk will have a libel case. So we do see scenes of Matt working undercover as Matt, which is a unique touch. The plot about Nelson and Murdock trying to tackle Fisk legally works because Karen and Foggy have a little more action after feeling like side characters in so many episodes. They have more emotional stakes as they are coping with the death of Elena, one of their first clients. She died because of Fisk’s poorly built houses which is giving them a little more legal standing. Unfortunately for them, Fisk is still able to put on his public facade.

Daredevil is in action. As the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, Matt circumvents the law – as he does – to track down the men Kingpin is working with. This leads to the aforementioned BRUTAL fight. The assassin wields a weapon which tears Matt apart – plenty of blood is shown. We even see someone set on fire! Adding injury to injury, the Devil has his first one-on-one battle with Kingpin. This is not some climatic battle of honor – Kingpin mercilessly whales on the Devil in another gruesome battle with Matt just barely escaping after taking some serious hits. The cherry on the sundae is that after everything this episode ends on a huge cliffhanger with Foggy discovering Matt under the mask.

This episode is just the total package – great psychology and character development. The action scenes are intense and it builds suspense for the next episode.

San Diego Comic Con 2016 Funko Pop Exclusives! All Of Them!

Let’s face it, everyone loves Funko Pops, they are this generations version of the Beanie Babies. They are cute, collectible and there seems to be no end to them. I started collecting them forSkatronixxx Jr but stopped after realising that I’d never be able to collect them all. Would I still continue collecting them? Sure if I had the money, but alas I have temporarily put my Funko Pop collection on hold, it doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy looking at them though!

There are however hardcore Funko fans out there and  the company knows this, that’s why they are aiming to bombard those lucky people who are going to San Diego Comic Con or SDCC with at least nine waves of exclusive figures.

What’s more having the ‘Funko Limited Edition 2016 Comic Con‘ sticker is a prize possesion for any serious collector and a cool trinket for the causal fan.

On Skatronixxx.com I’ll be bringing you updates about the Funko Pop, with all the exclusives released, I thought I’d treat you to a slideshow of all the Funko Pops on offer 🙂

Marvel-ous TV at SDCC

Marvel TV will be kicking off their panels with a marvellous signing event at the Marvel Booth #2329 on Thursday July 21, beginning with the Marvel/Netflix joint effort Marvel’s Luke Cage at 3:15 pm.  The executive producers Cheo Hodari Coker and Jeph Loeb will be joined by cast members Mike Colter (Luke Cage), Alfre Woodard (Mariah Dillard), Mahershala Ali (Cornell Stokes), Theo Rossi (Alvarez), Frank Whaley (Detective Scarfe) and Simone Missick (Misty Knight).

Go, Go, Power Rangers!! I Mean The Order

Power Rangers fans rejoice! The reunion that has been almost 20 years in the marking is here!! No it’s not the uber gritty Power Rangers film that featured James Van Deer Beek, it’s the original, original (Sorry Tommy!)  Power Rangers starring in a post apocalyptic dystopian society, torn apart by civil war. Think Marvel: Civil War with Power Rangers and you get the idea.

The film features the original Red Ranger (Austin St.John), Blue Ranger (David Yost), Pink Ranger (Amy Jo Johnson) and Black Ranger (Walter Emanual Jones) with several other rangers and comedy relief duo Bulk and Skull even making an appereance. They have all grown up and are kicking ass minus the spandex and sadly the Megazords, although the lack of megazords is a dissapointment the chance to see some of your former childhood heroes beating the **** out of each other is too much to pass up on.

Will it settle the questions we asked ourselves when we were younger? Is the Red Ranger as tough as he thinks? Will the Blue Ranger wipe the smile off his face? Will the Black Ranger go kung-fu on everyone? Here’s a spoiler for you PEOPLE DIE and LOTS OF THEM. What former Power Ranger will stand tall and who will fall in The Order?

Directed by Supergirl choreographer David Wald, The Order is an agency  largely brought in to control a lawless society, where they find several of them ‘going rogue’ and you are faced with the dilemma of do you bring your former friends to justice or are the ones who broke away those fighting for justice?

Sound awsome? YES!! When can we see it, I hear you cry? Well you can’t yet! Noooooooooooooooooooo curse you Skatronixxx, why hype this film if I can’t see it?

It’s because the film is currently seeking backing on crowdfunder site IndieGoGo, atlhough it has reached it’s goal of $100,000 so the dream will become a reality, it will take take time and you can still contribute!

Want to chat with former Red Ranger number 2 Steve Cardenas? You can do it for a cool $75 or chat to the whole cast for $100!

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!! Back the team NOW!!

Heroes And Villians Need Your Help

Heroes and Villians is an independent comic book shop, currently struggling to keep their Diamond Comics account (distributor you need to deal with to get Marvel and DC titles and most direct market books) Diamond has given them until July 18th, 2016 to come up with 6000.00$ if not their account will be closed. While the store will not close if they don’t come up with money it will drastically affect the future of their store.

 

Owners Vanessa and Stephen Mielke opened their shop in Courtland, N.Y USA. They were inspired to do so by their son Dallas’s growing passion for comics as well as their own. The community of Courtland had also not had a comic shop in over a decade, so the Mielke’s saw this as something that would also benefit people of all ages in the community.

Vanessa has been reaching out to pro comic creators to help get the word out. Creators such as Mark Waid, Gail Simone, and Kelly Sue DeConnick have shown support by retweeting Vanessa’s go fund me campaign on Twitter.

Mom and pop comic shops like Heroes and Villians are ideal for any community; it gets kids reading and interacting with like-minded people. The Mielke’s are not particularly happy about asking for money but due to situations, they have no choice. They believe once they get over this obstacle they will be able to pay it forward in the future.

If you can support them financially, please do so here

If you’re not able to support financially, please follow @HndVcomics on Twitter and retweet their tweets for the go fund me campaign.
