Nevertheless, it was down there where Jason saw Adelaide not just kill her doppelganger, ostensibly credited as “Red,” in a moment that audiences cheered, but do so while becoming every bit as wrathful and cruel in her execution as the other doppelgangers whom Jason accurately described as “us.” By his side in a car headed south is his mother Adelaide (a ferocious Lupita Nyong’o), who went into the bowels of hell to retrieve him like a maternal Orpheus with the good sense to not look back. Young Jason Wilson (Evan Alex) is tempted to do just that in the final seconds of Jordan Peele’s Us. It’s easy to judge someone even as they sit right next to you. ![]()

It is spectacular, but the key to it, the fun of it, is that you need to know those characters very well. Published Miracleman is joining the Marvel Universe, but for finalitys sake, the publisher needs to finish the Neil Gaiman/Mark Buckingham story first.

In others, it is interest in science or intellectual pursuits considered scandalous. In some cases, like Lord Corvin, it’s cultivating a wild reputation. The group has a nefarious reputation, but in reality what binds them together is a mutual acceptance of living outside the lines of what society traditionally accepts. One of my favorite aspects of the story, and this audio version in particular, is the camaraderie among the members of the murder, Phillip’s group of close friends.

Such windfalls happen a lot in middle grade fiction, but in real life? There’s a whole lot of people for whom it would be handy to inherit a big, old house right about now but you don’t hear of this happening much.

Biographer Isaacson ( Leonardo da Vinci) depicts science at its most exhilarating in this lively biography of Jennifer Doudna, the winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in chemistry for her work on the CRISPR system of gene editing. ![]() |
