When a neighbor's child is kidnapped on Halloween, it starts FBI agent Chris Miller on the trail of a terrorist attack planned for Thanksgiving. I got really caught up in this excellent thriller and had a hard time putting it down. The only warning here is the epithets used by the villains.

So much more than i expected
I didn't expect a great deal from this show but I'm delightex to say i was completely wrong. The show comes across as totaly convincing with strong performances from all the cast. Jefferson doesn't look the superhero but as soon as the costume goes on he IS Black Lightning. Nice to have a show with down to earth villains rather than wannabe world conquerors.

Amazing writing style
Superheroes? Or villains?
Dark and delicious
Schwab does it again with a dark and delicious unique story.
If you like creepy superpowers and questioning morals this is for you!
I loved how it switched to different times, both past and present and between different characters backgrounds, all while not being confusing, to create a complete and interesting story.
I really wish it came with illustrations comic book style

Fox mess it up again!! If you watched this without knowing the dark Phoenix saga you would've been confused! Some villains not clear where they come from! Characters in the film just because the actors are contracted no real reason for a few of them! Action was disappointing weirdly found the make up on Jean grey was distracting (never had that before!!) Some new mutants might as well have been wearing red jumpers!!

Overall, this was a meh collection of single issues with one-off stories for the villains of the Republic. Darth Maul's was something I've seen before, and was too similar to another Maul comic that I've read.
The only two stories that were kind of interesting were about Jango and General Grievous. Though, with Grievous, I learned more from the Clone Wars series than the comic. You can definitely skip this collection.

Watched the first two episodes gonna watch the rest over the weekend so far it looks like a winner didn't like Courtney at found a bit spiteful to pat her step dad but once she found the staff she became more likeable as a character it Will be interesting to see where the remaing episodes go as we get to see the rest of the supporting cast of heroes and villains

Best Star Wars game yet from a visual perspective (3 more)
Game-play is addictive and challenging
Free DLC so far from EA/Dice has only made game better
The whole 'Microtransactions' saga was unfounded and people who jumped on the bandwagon should actually play the game first before judging.
Lags too often during peak times (3 more)
Online Matchmaking takes too long (especially Heroes vs. Villains mode)
Not enough characters/maps (yet)
Starcard system needs an overhaul
