DC This Week Roundup – Brains vs. Brawn
Harley Quinn #51 – Elliott Kalan, Writer; Mirka Andolfo, Artist; Triona Farrell, Colorist Ray – 8.5/10 Ray: Harley Quinn has been ambushed by femme fatale gunslingers Gunbunny and Mayfly, but she's in the middle of a much more pitched battle – with herself. Her brain has decided to take control of the situation, hijacking Harley's body and trying to make more rational decisions – but that half of Harley isn't exactly all there either. And while Harley's neighbors debate whether to help her out, inside the mindscape Harley and her giant brain are engaged in a battle of wills – including the weaponization of Harley's worst memories to cause cringe. It's a funny, silly story but one that is elevated by brilliant art by Mirka Andolfo – one of the best indie artists in the industry. The visuals are great, but there's also a nice message about it not being possible to divide yourself into good and bad halves – everything that's gone into Harley helped to make her the crazy but heroic person she is today. Peacemaker Presents Vigilante/Eagly Double-Feature #3 – James Gunn, Story Consultant; Tim Seeley, Rex Ogle, Writers; Mitch Gerads, Matteo Lolli, Artists; John Kalisz, Colorist Ray – 8/10 Ray: This ultraviolet satire continues to deliver some fun, nasty thrills – particularly in the lead story, by Tim Seeley and Mitch Gerads. As Vigilante's mind continues to unravel and he gets closer to the mob bosses pulling the strings, a new battlefield opens – the high-end Italian restaurant where he works as a busboy. As the mob luminaries gather, Vigilante crashes the party – and gets pulled into the bloodiest brawl of the series yet, with his one friend caught in the middle. The second story by Ogle and Lolli is more over the top, with Peacemaker and his eagle buddy stranded on an island with the survivors of a plane crash – and the rich assholes who have planned to hunt them for sport. There isn't much in the way of characters here, save for Peacemaker and the very horny flight attendant, but the story does feature one of the most inventive and gruesome kills in a while courtesy of Eagly.

Punters typically knock back a drink in each establishment, with most totally legless halfway into the challenge. Advertisement Participants begin at Woodies before swilling snifters at 15 other watering holes during the challenge, which takes place several times a year. Drinkers sup a final brew at the aptly named Dry Dock - a narrow boat-turned-pub. But those who were hoping for the scorching hot weather to last for thr holiday will be sorely disappointed. The UK is set for a cool bank holiday with below average temperatures after record-breaking warm weather this week. Advertisement Temperatures are expected to fall from highs of 22C in southern England on Saturday down to 16C on Sunday and 15C on Monday, the early May bank holiday. This comes after the UK saw its warmest start to May on record, with highs of 29.3C in Kew Gardens, south-west London, on Thursday. Provisional Met Office figures also showed the country recorded its brightest April since records began in 1910, with England seeing its sunniest ever, and the other home nations their second sunniest. According to the Met Office, the bank holiday will be 'on the cool side, exacerbated by the ongoing wind in the east and south'. Advertisement Jonathan Vautrey, a meteorologist at the Met Office, said: 'Northerly winds are going to be driving in those much cooler and fresher conditions across all areas of the UK. 'That northerly wind is coming down from the North Sea, it's going to be filtering in a reasonable amount of clouds across eastern coastal areas, both Scotland and England. So here, temperature is going to be held back quite a bit. 'When you add on the strength of that wind as well, it is going to be much cooler and much chillier compared to recent days.' While south-east England is expecting somewhat mild temperatures of between 14C and 15C, temperatures in north-west England are expected to fall to 13C and the north east is set for a chillier 11C. Advertisement 'Tomorrow temperatures will be around the typical average values for this time of year', he continued. 'Into Sunday and Monday, we're actually going to see them dropping slightly below average, again, primarily across the eastern half of the UK.' 10 Many donned masks or face paint for the infamous pub crawl Credit: NB PRESS LTD 10 Drunk revellers were snapped clinging onto one another for support as they went from pub to pub Credit: NB PRESS LTD Advertisement 10 A grinning group of friends dressed up for the Otley run Credit: NB PRESS LTD 10 All sorts of costumes made an appearance today Credit: NB PRESS LTD

Crazy Rich Asians TV Series in the Works — Who's Returning From the Original Cast?
More Crazy Rich Asians are on the way… but there's a twist! Seven years after Kevin Kwan's best-selling book series spawned a blockbuster movie, they're now being developed as a TV show for Max. The film's co-writer, Adele Lim, will serve as showrunner, executive-producing alongside Kwan and the film's director Jon M. Chu. More from TVLine The Pitt's Noah Wyle and Katherine LaNasa Talk Violent End to Episode 9 and 'Existential Crisis' That Will Follow Harley Quinn Shocker: [Spoiler]'s Death Will Have 'Unexpected' Aftermath, Says Showrunner Harley Quinn Boss Previews the Most Musical Episode Yet, Opens Up About Scrapped Season 5 Storyline Kwan's trilogy consists of three books — Crazy Rich Asians, which was released in 2013, followed by 2015's China Rich Girlfriend and 2017's Rich People Problems. The 2018 Crazy Rich Asians movie starred Henry Golding and Constance Wu as central couple Nick and Rachel, joined by a sprawling cast of well-known actors. Notable co-stars included Awkwafina, Gemma Chan, Ronny Chieng, Ken Jeong, Lisa Lu, Chris Pang, Nico Santos, Jimmy O. Yang and Michelle Yeoh, among others. Because the project is in the early stages of development, TVLine's sister site Deadline reports that it's too soon to say which original cast members might reprise their roles in the new series. A sequel to the 2018 film has also been in the works for some time, and according to this new report, the Max series does not conflict with the sequel; a second Crazy Rich Asians film is still being developed.
