Comic Television #3 – Week Beginning 29 February 2016!

As usual, we have another installment of Comic Television for you. This week unfortunately, there’s no Flash or Arrow but there’s plenty of other dramas that are totally worth watching, such as the season finales of both The Shannara Chronicles and Marvel’s Agent Carter, as well as the return of series like Gotham and Blindspot, starring Thor’s Jaime Alexander. It should be an interesting week for sure.

No comic shows on as usual on a Friday apart from Sleepy Hollow – which has had comic spin-offs in the past – but if you’re a fan of Vampires then this should be a good night for you.  Oh, and all episodes of House of Cards Season 4 drop today begging the question of whether or not it can find its form again.

The Walking Dead 6.12 (ABC, 9pm)

This doesn’t just not have an episode summary but the show also doesn’t have an episode title yet. But in case you’re one of the few people who aren’t watching The Walking Dead, you should probably get on that ASAP as Season 6B has been awesome so far and hopefully this form will continue!
