Life is Strange 2 – Episode 1 Review
Life is Strange 2 features none of the characters or settings of its predecessor. Its new hero, a 17-year-old Mexican-American boy named Sean Diaz, does not have a decision-reversing time-travel ability like Max Caulfield. But the moment an acoustic guitar begins delicately strumming over the sun-kissed title screen, it is unmistakable what you are playing. This may be an unfamiliar story among fresh faces and unknown locales, but in every other way this is Life is Strange.
This four-hour episode — the first of five — introduces us to a bigger, more complex story than was told by either the original Life is Strange or its prequel Before the Storm. That coming-of-age story concerns the fraught relationship of a pair of high school girls against a backdrop of an impending natural disaster — but its action is confined to the classrooms and bedrooms of small-town Arcadia Bay, Oregon. Life is Strange 2 is in every way a more elaborate affair: its action sprawls out from Seattle to the woods of Oregon and still farther afield, giving it the feel of a road movie in game form. It aspires to realize nothing less than an unsparingly critical portrait of the United States in the era of Donald Trump.

Creator of Mystery Science Theater 3000, Joel Hodgson returned once again for the newest season as an executive producer and co-director to oversee all production.
DC’s Heroes in Crisis Is a Brutal Read
Sometimes there’s a huge difference between a story that’s well-executed and a story that’s actually enjoyable to read. Heroes in Crisis #1 illustrates that gulf about as well as any comic in recent memory. This is a series featuring some of the best creators currently working at DC telling a very intimate, emotionally charged tale of tragedy striking the superhero community. The first issue is also unpleasant and even somewhat off-putting in its impact on the DCU. But no doubt that was the intention. Given the subject matter and the real-world events fueling Heroes in Crisis, fun doesn’t really enter into the equation.
Heroes in Crisis introduces Sanctuary, a refuge built by Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman to serve as a safe haven for heroes weighed down by the physical and psychological pressures of the job. Unfortunately, as the series opens, Sanctuary has been rocked by a mass murder, transforming a place of healing into one of bloodshed.
