Ed’s Winner
for the Week: Fear - Characters in all of our shows
this week were afraid... very afraid. Yorick (Y: The Last Man), Allison
and 355 were afraid that their reformed prisoner hosts might not accept them.
Eclipso continued to terrify Stargirl and all her friends and family. On
Supergirl, poor little Esme was scared that Kelly and Alex might change
their mind about adopting her. Ava freaked out that all the timeline changes
her fellow Legends were causing would be irreparable. Batwoman
and company were all horrified by the new Mad Hatter. Rita's fears were allayed
by the joy she discovered hanging with the Sisterhood of Dada, while the rest
of the Doom Patrol threw caution to the wind on their own personal
journeys. Finally on Titans, Dick had to reconcile his feeling of fear
and rage in order to swim his way out of the Lazarus Pit.
