@newt5996.bsky.socialBad Seeds enters its second half with Matt Fraction’s latest issue of #Batman that’s all about Verity Pennyworth, a home invasion, the climax of Batman & Robin, and skeletons in the closet.

@hezoriszid.bsky.social and I continue our #StarTrek journey today with 'Redemption Part 1'!
@newt5996.bsky.socialAnd now the thrilling conclusion of #StarTrek Redemption that goes for a more action oriented season opener, though not without its important character moments. It's also one of the few points where a Data storyline is actually unnecessary:

@newt5996.bsky.socialMaybe the obvious trap to kill everyone was a bit obvious? Poison Ivy 48 is fantastic as a look into Ivy’s psyche.

@newt5996.bsky.socialThe story is a very simple use of time travel, but because of its simplicity it works really well.
