Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 2 Finale Review

by Julian Cannon
written by Julian Cannon

Power Book III: Raising Kanan concluded its second season with a bloodbath as a result of the start of Sal’s war.

Not only did he put a hit on Unique and Raq and their crews, he made sure that he positioned himself as a a mob boss that will not take anything from anyone. The gun battle was fierce and loaded with action that kept my attention to my screen for those few minutes.

It is sad to see both Zisa and Kenya die. I was left wondering what will happen if Jukebox finds out, and whether if she will care due to their last argument. But for Zisa, this gives Lou-Lou more motivation to go after Sal alongside Raquel and now Unique. This pairing does have potential as all the main characters were in the same place at the same time by the end of this episode. I would not put my money on Unique teaming up with Raquel for long as I believe he will turn on her sometime in the next season.

Detective Howard and Kanan had a great talk which I felt was a good father to son moment. But another stand out scene was with Raquel and Lou-Lou as she made it clear that she owns him. Patina Miller rocked it in this scene as Raquel ushered in her best line of the season. Crown’s death is also haunting Lou-Lou and it is not over yet with that situation.

With that said, Power Book III: Raising Kanan’s second season ends strong with phenomenal performances by the cast. I am looking forward to the next season!

The Walking Dead Season 11, Episode 20 Review

by Julian Cannon
written by Julian Cannon
Although the plot did not progress much on this week’s The Walking Dead, there was time for some good character development.
Daryl and Carol in particular, had some really great scenes and interactions with each other. Add in the fact that these two were involved with the most action in this episode. With that in mind, I am puzzled with some of the storyline decisions. Sebastian getting killed off a few episodes ago was something. But with Lance now being killed, who is the last “big bad” that the group has to deal with? I will give praise that it had to be Carol to kill Lance and I am glad that Daryl did not take her kill point this time.
Josh Hamilton will be missed on The Walking Dead and it is a shame that Lance had to go this way as there was more they could have gotten out of the character. With him gone, we still do not know what happened to Oceanside, his deal with another unknown group, or whether or not if Pamela even knows what Lance did to the communities that he captured. One thing he did let slip is about the railroad operation.
Over at Commonwealth, Yumiko has a conflict as Pamela is using her friends against her for Eugene’s upcoming trial. Eleanor Matsuura is underrated on The Walking Dead and I believe that this is her best episode as Yumiko since she joined the cast two seasons ago. Her performance came off believable and convincing as a lawyer. Bonus points between her scenes with Connie.
With that out of the way, I do not like how The Commonwealth soldiers became NPCs from a video game. They lack intelligence and act as if they never paid attention to Mercer’s training. It boggles my mind that they became a joke as the season progressed.
There are three more episodes left and everyone is suddenly at Alexandria as it is now “Outpost 22.” Let’s see where this goes.

On the Scene: New York Comic Con 2022

by Julian Cannon
written by Julian Cannon

The 2022 edition of New York Comic Con came in full force this year compared to its return in 2021.

Whether if its Funko, gaming, cosplay, or the panels, there was something for everyone at the four day convention. In my ten plus years of covering New York Comic Con, I think this year’s show was the most crowded i’ve ever seen. I will dive more into that a few paragraphs down. With that out of the way, here is my review for this year’s show.

At last year’s New York Comic Con, the Javits Center’s expansion was completed in time for the show to take place. Gone are the days that I would have to rush to Madison Square Garden or at another place just to cover a panel. There were some panels at the expansion building last year, but it was the 2022 edition where all the panels and press rooms took place. I just wish that somebody told us sooner that there was a second press lounge.

I say this because the area where the press rooms took place at the second floor of Javits, was not there. I was caught off guard with the surprise and I had to ask around about the new location. Besides that, I think the new location is much better. But for the attendees to go to the panels in that area, it was hard to navigate.

New York Comic Con always had an issue with overcrowding and this year’s show looked like it was overcrowded no matter where you went. Last year, Funko did not have a presence at NYCC so it was easier to walk the show floor without the Funko booth and among others. Funko returned this year and the lines were extremely massive. In fact, the line at the Ebay booth was so poorly managed that in the middle of an escalator, cosplayer Mitch Drucker suffered a seizure and a heart attack, and paramedics arrived around 20 minutes later, but to no avail. I was wondering how could this happen and how poorly managed the line was.

There was some good that came out of this year’s panels. At the Titan’s panel, the cast revealed Beastboy’s new suit. For The Walking Dead’s last panel, Scott Gimple revealed the that The Walking Dead: Dead City will premiere in April 2023. On the Back to the Future panel, we got a nice reunion between Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd had a great reunion that was years in the making.

As far as the booths go, there were a large amount this year from various retailers. Several of them were not giving away free swag. I totally get it since the pandemic hit them hard. But it used to be great to leave with something. Also to add, thank you Reedpop for adding the carpet back! It was severly missed from last year’s show and the past two C2E2 shows that I covered.

With all of it out of the way, I will always enjoy covering New York Comic Con! Below are some of the press interviews that I have conducted!

Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 2, Episode 8 Review

by Julian Cannon
written by Julian Cannon
It’s been a pretty long time since a Power Universe episode concluded with a cliffhanger.
So long that when it happened on Power Book III: Raising Kanan, it set up a huge story. Did Marvin and the therapist get shot by the Italians? If they did, which one of them were shot and which one of them would end up dying? The final minutes got me anxious to watch the next episode as I want to find out how this will be resolved!
I thought that the conversation about karma and balance in the universe was a great part of the story, and it also tied very well into the ending of the episode. After a botched invasion that caused a woman to be killed and two people to be killed, Marvin is now sitting on the verge of a second shooting attempt that might result in his therapist being killed as well.
The scenes of Kenya’s church members punishing Jukebox due to her sexual orientation was hard to watch and I felt for Jukebox. Despite the cruel punishment, I thought it was well acted. For historical accuracy, this did used to happen decades ago when churches used to disapprove same-sex relationships. I just wonder if this is needed to push Jukebox’s story forward.
Unique is playing chess with every character and they do not even know it. But one thing is for sure, is that Kanan is really getting on to Raquel’s lies. Especially since he is connecting the dots to Scrappy’s death. Not even a new house that Raq showed Kanan could help her dodge the situation. I will say that the scene at the start between Raq and Palomar stood out to me as I wanted to see both these characters encounter eachother.
The original argument was that Dominick surviving the botched robbery was one of the worst things that could’ve ever happened to him, but Unique was right in the beginning. There were only four people who knew about it, Marco, Dominick, Unique, and Marvin, and now that Dominick has opened his mouth, it does not look good for Marvin. Sal is coming for Raq, Marvin, and probably the rest of the family as well.
