New comic miniseries announced: Harmony

BOOM! Studios has announced a new miniseries for their Steven Universe comics. Entitled “Harmony”, it will run for five issues starting in August 2018.

The miniseries will take place after Sadie has quit her job at the Big Donut and feature yet another dangerous Homeworld artifact threatening the planet.

If you’re a fan of the comics (and you should be) make sure to pick up issue #1 when it comes out in August.

Ratings for Can’t Go Back and A Single Pale Rose

While the raw numbers don’t sound impressive, in light of the enormous online hype after the fact the 735,000 people who watched Can’t Go Back and A Single Pale Rose on Monday isn’t too bad. Also, before you panic, look at how all of Cartoon Network’s Monday premiers did:

  1. Steven Universe at 7:30 PM with 735,000
  2. Lego Ninjago at 6:30 PM with 578,000
  3. Craig of the Creek at 5:00 PM with 566,000
  4. Ben 10 at 6:00 PM with 541,000
  5. Mighty Magiswords at 6:15 AM with 415,000

Can’t Go Back and A Single Pale Rose are now available on the app and in digital storefronts

It is not often that we feel we must say when an episode has been pushed to digital storefronts (Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, and YouTube) and the app (with a login from a TV service provider), but Can’t Go Back and A Single Pale Rose are important episodes to watch as quickly as possible.

For those who are curious, this is the normal schedule for the app, with the episode arriving early on the next day. Digital storefronts are more finicky, requiring two episodes to put up. In the case of Can’t Go Back and A Single Pale Rose we got lucky (or everything went according to plan) with us already having an even number of episodes in the volume, meaning when two episodes air at once they both go up together.

So go and watch!

Immediate reaction to A Single Pale Rose

Let’s just say that this episode changes everything. Or nothing. It’s all a matter of perspective.

It’s definitely another one of those “if you haven’t watched it then watch it as soon as possible” episodes. Seriously, the risks of being spoiled are massive.

In fact, we’ve already said too much. Forget it all.

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 190: Letters to Lars

GC13 and Isabelle discuss the final episode before the coming storm: Letters to Lars.

What will be so dangerous that the town will need to seek refuge? Where will they shelter? Why is it that Amethyst can shapeshift away the human clothing she’s wearing as part of the improv troupe?

Pearl is still adorbable, Dewey is still the greatest.

Oh yes, and Chunk Truck still isn’t Concrete Heat.

Advanced spoilers and you

Yesterday at about five o’clock Eastern time Cartoon Network posted a video. Featuring Ms. Sugar and Mr. Jones-Quartey, it was a short two-minutes-and-change podcast episode about cartooning with added video of the speakers and some background footage of their respective cartoons.

As you no doubt are either already aware or have already guessed, some of the Steven Universe footage was from unaired episodes. Most of the clips were fairly mundane if intriguing.

Except there was one clip. Oh one short clip to drive the fandom mad.

If you haven’t seen it, the relevant section that features the oh-so-juicy clip is available on Reddit. Just be warned that this clip is almost certainly from at or around the season finale (if there’s something even more consequential than this to round up the season, then hold on to your hat).

You can surely expect a podcast episode from us speculating about what this clip means, but we will be waiting to do that until our May 21st episode (assuming, of course, that we do not get more weekly episodes after Can’t Go Back and A Single Pale Rose).

If you aren’t aware of what’s in the spoilers yet and want to know, you can watch the clip. If you don’t want to be spoiled, however… Be careful, and be strong. There will be lots of people discussing it, and not everyone will be engaging in as strict spoiler discipline as we will be on the Lunar Sea Spire.
