With Marvel’s MCU Phase 4 rapidly approaching, it’s almost surprising that it has taken this long for the Taskmaster to show his skull-covered face.

The world is full of Watchmen purists, people who believe the original comic is sacrosanct and inviolable, and that any attempt to follow it up is doomed to failure because it misses the point of the original.

It makes sense to chase what has been proven to work before and if The CW has learned anything in the last decade, it’s that Winchesters are forever (or at least 15 years), superheroes pay, and everyone loves Riverdale. It’s that last lesson that feels like a particular motivating factor in one of the network’s
