Evan Rachel Wood Flaunts her individuality

In the latest issue of Flaunt actress Evan Rachel Wood sat down for an interview with Matthew Bedard to discuss relationships, mysticism, her career, fortune telling, bisexuality, psychics, healthy competition, her attempt to lead a fearless life, hunting ghosts, how both men and women are crazy, and her desire to become a musician. She also took the time for pose for Ellen von Unwerth for some rather risque photos (caution, a couple are NSFW) which you can find after the jump.

A US Marshall (Jon Olson), and old friend of Danny’s (Scott Caan), is killed on a plane while transporting a prisoner (Theo Rossi) to Hawaii. At first Five-0 believes the prisoner killed the Marshall before making his escape when the plane touched down. The truth, however, is far more complicated.

The Lone Ranger #2

lone-ranger-vol-2-2-coverThe second issue of Dynamite Entertainment’s new Lone Ranger series is a little better than the first but it still lacks the fun you’d like in a title centered around the masked man and his Indian companion. Once again the main story has to do with a character other than the Lone Ranger or Tonto, in this case an infamous lawman at the end of his career looking for one more showdown.

The dialogue by writer Ande Parks feels a little more natural than the series first issue. I don’t know that I’m yet sold on the art of Esteve Polls, but if the comic is going to do these mini faux historical tales, heavy on narration and light on action, it might work well enough.

It’s still a far cry from Dynamite’s first Lone Ranger series from writer Brett Matthews and artist Sergio Cariello but the second issue is enough of an improvement I’ll probably pick at least one more issue to see where the Lone Ranger and Tonto go from here. For fans.

Stormwatch #6

stormwatch-6-coverPicking up where last month’s issue left off the Stormwatch team finds themselves leaderless, betrayed by the Eminence of Blades, with their ship tearing itself apart above Earth. How these individual obstacles are overcome isn’t nearly as exciting, or fun, as it should be.

Six issues in the team, and the book, still feels directionless. When they’ve got a big nasty to fight the problems in the writing can be hidden, but in a story centered around character and plot the cracks are starting to show.

There are some good moments. I like that the Engineer takes command of the team, but I still want more Jenny Quantum (who has hardly been used at all), and the military discovering the existence of a covert force such as Stormwatch opens several possibilities .

However, we also get Jack Hawksmoor talking to the city soul of the ship which is as awkward as it is stupid, I don’t need yet another speech by the Martian Manhunter as to why the Justice League is stupid, and Midnighter and Apollo‘s relationship is being handled with all the care of Twilight fan fiction. Hit-and-Miss.
