Beyond Skyline
Good, but you really need to know what you’re getting into to have that opinion. This is B-Level good, not AAA good.
Action Comics #1000
Celebrate 1000 issues of Action Comics with an all-star lineup of top talent as they pay tribute to the comic that started it all! From today’s explosive action to a previously unpublished tale illustrated by the legendary Curt Swan to the Man of Tomorrow’s future-this very special, oversized issue presents the best of the best in Superman stories! Low quality art with stories that had no connection to the stories in Action Comics #990-999 and will have no impact on issue #1001. None of the stories even featured the CURRENT Superman, which is a time hopping nightmare for Booster Gold,...

Well, no men except for the kid that everyone’s after. Oh and that one guy that’s just hanging out in a shack, but other than that, no men.
Lost In Space (netflix)
After crash-landing on an alien planet, the Robinson family fights against all odds to survive and escape. But they’re surrounded by hidden dangers. I never watched the original series, and while I was a big fan of the 1998 movie, I didn’t have any kind of personal attachment to the primary aspects of the franchise. There’s some big changes here from the original concepts, all of them imho, for the better. From start to finish this was a great opener to what I hope will be a many many season series that really fleshes out the plot lines that were...
