Crisis On Infinite Midlives
Episode 91: At The End Of The Day, I’m Just Not A Ninja
Yes, we are back. And yes, it has been a long time. Thanks to the horrors of moving, which include misplaced boxes, emergency repairs, rescheduled workmen, and the Fickle Fingering of XFinity, we are only just now able to return to the Internet Airwaves. Thankfully, it was just in time to binge-watch Netflix's and Marvel Studios' Jessica Jones, which dropped its entire first season this past Friday.
So we discuss the series, including how, like with Daredevil, it seems about three episodes too long. We talk about how the series compares to Alias, the Brian Michael Bendis-written comic book the series was based on. And we go over how the story works not only as a classic film noir where the femme fatale is actually the hero, and how it can be seen as a tacit examination and deconstruction of Doctor Who.
We also discuss Secret Six #8, written by Gail SImone with art by Dale Eaglesham and Tom Derenick, and Star Wars: Vader Down #1, written by Jason Aaron with art by Mike Deodato, Jr.!
