Supergirl S1, Ep. 18 "Worlds Finest" Recap

Kara and Winn question what Siobhan is and she gets mad quickly that no one is able to tell her the truth of what she is. Siobhan begins to hear a noise and leaves in a huff. She gets distracted by Livewire's rant about Supergirl and Cat Grant. Cat Grant gives Kara dating advice on how to get James which is by playing hard to get. Siobhan is waling on the street and begins hearing a loud noise and walks away. She shows up at Catco and ends up screaming at Kara which knocks her out and forces her out a window. She is caught by The Flash. She flies off as she has to get back to the city and she notices him running below. She flies back down and they are both confused on who the other one is. Barry begins to list other people in his Earth and realizes he is on the wrong Earth and asks Kara for her help. (great start to this episode).

Barry is with Kara and trying to do research and realizes that no one else exists on this Earth. Barry is amazed that she is an Alien and Winn understands the multiverse theory. Barry realizes that he is stuck here. (there is fantastic chemistry between Barry and Kara) Winn picks on James for being slightly jealous. Attractive racially diverse cast of a CW show is what Cat calls the group of Winn, Kara, Barry, and James. She names Barry the blur. Siobhan visits a mystic shop to see her Aunt and asks for her help. The aunt knows that Siobhan is hearing a calling of the banshee. She is cursed and that if she wants the whispers to stop she has to kill the person who has wronged her. She hatches a plan to get Livewire. Cat Grant refuses to leave when she hears about the escape. Kara enlists Barry's help. DEO welcomes Barry's help. Siobhan (Silver Banshee) teams up with Livewire to take out Kara, Cat, and Supergirl. Barry wants to make a plan but Kara wants to run in and defeat Livewire. Siobhan shows up and is introduced as Silver Banshee and looks like a Day of the Dead reject. Barry calls it and they retreat after being knocked down.

Barry gives Kara a pep talk about dealing with the public turning on her. He says it will just take time. Siobhan and Livewire show up to Catco. Winn tries to talk Siobhan down and begs her to let him help her. Barry and Kara head out to save Cat who has been kidnapped. As Supergirl gets hit with a lot of electricity she falls and is protected by the people. Firefighters hit Livewire and Siobhan with water that knocks them out with the electric current. Kara helps Barry to get back home. They both use their speed to get Barry back. Barry gives her relationship advice and tells her to go for it. They take off running and Kara is able to throw Barry into a breach. She makes a move on James and kisses him. James turns around and walks out in what appears to be a trance. Kara rushes out and realisez that everyone is in some type of trance and headed somewhere.

Fangirl Thoughts: Great crossover episode. The chemistry between Barry and Kara makes you want that ship even though you know you are supposed to be supporting her with Olsen instead. I look forward to seeing more crossover situations. The potential between all these shows is to good to pass up.

Cold Darkness Awakened DLC Coming To Rise of the Tomb Raider Next Week

Throughout Rise of the Tomb Raider we’ve seen Lara Croft rise to a world fiercely protecting its secrets while overcoming a ruthless organization known as Trinity, prevail over the brutal conditions of Siberia in the ultimate woman-versus-wild tests of stamina in Endurance Mode, and most recently navigate through myth and reality in conquering the curse of Baba Yaga. The next and final piece of downloadable content in Rise of the Tomb Raider will have Lara encounter an army of nightmarish predators in Cold Darkness Awakened on March 29 in the Xbox Store and Windows Store.

A decommissioned Cold War research base has been breached, unleashing a deadly affliction from its Siberian slumber. As the illness seeps into the wilderness surrounding the base, Trinity soldiers transform into bloodthirsty killers who thrive on carnage. To prevent the affliction from spreading, Lara must rely on her wits, physical agility, and crafting abilities to overcome this new enemy and shut down the decommissioned base.

Cold Darkness Awakened is included in the Rise of the Tomb Raider Season Pass, which also contains the Endurance Mode and the recently released Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch DLC. For those who haven’t joined Lara Croft on her first Tomb Raiding expedition, Rise of the Tomb Raider for Xbox One and Xbox 360 are currently featured in the Xbox Store Spring Sale from March 22 – 28; be sure to check out Xbox.com for more great deals!

DC ENTERTAINMENT SCORES ANOTHER TALENT TRIFECTA!

Writer Steve Orlando, Artists Evan “Doc” Shaner, Jesus Merino Sign Deals with DC Entertainment

DC Entertainment continues to expand its roster of top name talent, announcing today that it has reached agreements with writer Steve Orlando, along with artists Evan “Doc” Shaner and Jesus Merino to create comic book content solely for the publisher’s DC Comics and Vertigo imprints. An accomplished comics writer and scripter, Orlando is no stranger to DCE, receiving critical acclaim from outlets including Polygon.com (“Best Comics of 2015”), New York Times, io9.com (“Top 20 Comics of 2015”) and a nomination from GLAAD in the “Outstanding Comic Book” category for his run on Midnighter, the first openly gay male character to star in a comic book. Orlando has also contributed to the DC Super Hero universe with writing credits for Justice League: Darkseid War: Shazam!

“DC Comics is the home to the icons, characters and concepts that form the bedrock of modern mythology, cross boundaries and inspire people,” said Orlando. “I’m incredibly excited to add to this great tradition of storytelling exclusively, a tradition that captured my imagination as a young reader and bring it to a new generation.” “It has been and will continue to be an honor. Anyone who knows me knows comics changed my life, and I’m looking forward to showing fans how comics have impacted me in the stories I’ll be writing.” Recently announced as the artist for DCE’s Future Quest title with writer Jeff Parker, Evan “Doc” Shaner is no stranger to DCE either, having provided art for titles like Adventures of Superman, Convergence: Shazam! and Justice League: Darkseid War: Green Lantern. “I’ve always been a fan of Doc’s work,” said Lee. “In reviewing his concepts and character sketches for Future Quest, it reminded me of some of the classic animation and comic artists of the past, like Alex Toth and Milton Caniff. It was a perfect fit for this title, and I can’t wait to see him bring his talents to more DC and Vertigo titles in the future.”

“DC Comics has a history of creators and characters that I'm very fond of as both a reader and artist, and to be asked to be part of that tradition is an incredible honor for me,” said Shaner. “Superman, Captain Marvel, The Flash, Plastic Man, and so many more-- these are some of my favorite characters of all time. I'm also particularly excited that I get to start my time at DC with reintroducing the Hanna-Barbera heroes featured in Future Quest, which are especially dear to me. This is an amazing opportunity and I'm looking forward to what's to come.”

Spanish artist Jesus Merino has been creating artwork for DC for the past fifteen years. As a penciller, inker and cover artist, he has worked on such titles as Superman, Justice League: Darkseid War: The Flash, The New 52: Futures End and The Flash, among others and is happy to call DC his exclusive home: “It’s an honor to have such a talent as Jesus on board at DC,” said Lee.
“He does a great job at combining the heroic and inspirational element of the DC mythos with a clean, dynamic and energetic style that really brings out the best in the DC characters!” “After working with DC on so many projects, it’s great to call them my home now,” said Merino. I’ve seen a lot of changes over that time, not only in the characters, but in the company as well. With this new arrangement, I feel like the new kid in town all over again.”

Orlando, Shaner and Merino are the newest names to be added to this roster, following the announcement last month of talent signings for writer Tom King (Grayson, Omega Men, Robin War), Clay Mann (Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death) and John Timms (Harley Quinn).
