The Twin Peaks Log: S.2 E.6
Annie It’s interesting to see Cooper upset with himself because his extra-jurisdictional adventures endangered Audrey, and of course got a bunch of people killed at One-Eyed Jack’s. He mentions that this isn’t the first time someone’s been hurt because he stepped outside his bounds. But hey, Ben Horne is happy-ish because he got his briefcase…

Lady Killer #3 Joelle Jones & Jamie S. Rich (W), Joelle Jones (A), Laura Allred (C) Dark Horse March 4, 2015 Lady Killer continues with a look into how our lovely assassin balances the demands of her domestic life with her highly secretive work.

Double Trouble, Gotham via Riverdale: Date Night With WWAC
I’m at the fanciest Italian restaurant in Riverdale (weirdly, I can also order lobster here). Across the table is my Valentine’s date—high school heartthrob and continual teenage crush Jason Blossom. No, wait. It’s no heartthrob at all, it’s everyman Archie Andrews, looking extra freckled and earnest in the kind glow of the candlelight.
Valentine Vigilante: Date Night With WWAC
Just like the prologue in Romeo and Juliet, I will state from the beginning that the relationship between myself and Batman is a doomed love. He’s a rich Gothamite and I’m a Torontonian who isn’t rich. Long distance may work in some rare cases, but given that Batman is super intense and serious about his…
