Justice League: Road To Dark Crisis #1
Justice League: Road To Dark Crisis #1 came out from DC Comics last Wednesday. The cover features shattered glass with shards showing Pariah, Darkseid, Flash, Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern, Jackson Hyde as Aquaman, Jonathan Kent aka Superman and Nightwing. The issue actually has multiple stories that deal with the aftermath of the death of the Justice League (all but one died anyway). The first story is about Nightwing and Jonathan Kent, who I still have a hard time accepting as Superman. The second story features Flash (Wally West) and Kid Flash (Wallace "Ace" West) that takes down Giganta and then tries to see who can stop the most crime. The next story features Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) following a space creature to Atlantis where he meets and teams up with Aqualad now known as Aquaman (Jackson Hyde). The story featuring Pariah has him being haunted by the memories of his dead wife, daughter and son before committing himself to building a machine to defeat the Great Darkness. Finally, Batgirl (Stephanie Brown) tries to stop Nocturna but ends up talking with her (Firefly shows up afterwards to offer the vampire a spot on the new Secret Society). The stories are not bad but not great either and they mostly feel like filler. I'm a little miffed that Kid Flash, Batgirl and Nocturna were not on the cover especially since Darkseid is not actually seen in any of the stories within the issue.

Women Wednesday: Valentine: The Dark Avenger
I picked up a copy of the Valentine: The Dark Avenger DVD a few weeks ago at the local Dollar Tree but I didn't watch it until Memorial Day. Estelle Linden stars as Srimaya, a waitress, who is hired by director Bono (Matthew Settle) to star in his new movie as the superheroine known as Valentine. Unfortunately, she gets caught up fighting the terrorist known as Shadow, who looks like he should be in a G.I. Joe movie. This is an Indonesian movie that was originally released as Valentine in 2016 and is based on the character from Skylar Comics. The movie was released with a new name in the United States in 2017. It's a low budget movie but the fight scenes and story is better than expected.
My favorite moment in Valentine: The Dark Avenger is when she fights a trio of supervillainesses, who works for Shadow. One of them sports a yellow wig, a black tutu and a top with a very familiar bat symbol.
