Six weeks ago, I said the first two episodes of Ms. Marvel were the most authentic adaptation Marvel had ever done. From the comics to the culture, those two episodes encapsulated more than I could have hoped for, from not only Kamala Khan but South Asian American and Muslim representation. Even with changes like the new purple platform powers, those two

Read MoreWhat We Do In The Shadows is back from a wonderfully short hiatus, less than a year after the finale of season 3 (season 3 premiere review here).

This time Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba introduce readers to a shady hotel/prison in another dimension, a spoiled billionaire messing with things he doesn’t understand, a lost and rediscovered spaceship, and a weird religious (maybe) group all converging together on our Umbrellas. Mayhem ensues. But
