Interesting Comics This Week (9-30-15)
Archie Comic Publications:
I did not expect to enjoy this series as much as I have. Archie was something that I always knew about, but never paid any real attention to. This series has made them interesting to me for the first time, and is making me see why these characters have been around for so long.

TV Review: Gotham Season 2, Episode 1 "Damned If You Do"
Last season, I watched every episode of Gotham. I didn't quite watch it as it aired, especially after the first couple episodes, and I finished a few weeks after the season ended, but I mostly kept up with the show. It was okay, trying to do a lot of things and only sometimes succeeding, with a lot of elements that seemed ill-advised or problematic. Probably the worst thing I can say is that I don't remember a lot of the first season, which is never a good sign.
Still, I was cautiously optimistic and watched "Damned If You Do", the first episode of this season, and I still have no idea if my optimism was misplaced. I wouldn't call it good, but I wouldn't call it bad either. At the very least, they appear to be trying to go in a different direction.

Interesting Comics This Week (9-23-15)
Mentioning a comic here doesn't necessarily mean I will be reviewing it, and not being here doesn't necessarily mean I won't. Instead, this is meant as a simple look at what sticks out about what is coming out this week.
Action Lab:
Princeless Be Yourself #4
Despite having only read the Raven: The Pirate Princess spinoff, just about everything in the Princeless series jumps out at me as something to pay attention to right away. This one is the final issue in a miniseries, so while I can't speak to it out of experience, it's still worth looking at, or noting down to keep an eye out for the trade.

I had trouble at first figuring out exactly what I thought about Over the Garden Wall #1, based off the Cartoon Network miniseries.
A lot of that comes down to it looking like a kids' comic, which has a
lot of negative connotations in the industry now. That term isn't meant
as a negative here, since it doesn't have the unintelligent sense of
humor that you might suspect out of a kids' comic, but instead is just
in a style that appeals to kids, without sacrificing any wit or
intelligence in the humor.

Comic Review: Boy 1 #1

- Publisher: IDW Publishing
Science fiction often exists for the sake of making fantasy stories feel more grounded. From the beginning, Boy-1 seems to be straddling that line,
trying to bring fantastical things to life while actually starting in
real science and moving forward. It focuses on genetic engineering,
though exactly the role that it plays in the plot is not really clear
quite yet.
