Daredevil #19

daredevil-19-coverJust as Matt Murdock discovers who is trying to drive him insane his former partner and best friend Foggy Nelson makes an impulsive decision that could change Daredevil’s life forever.

Foggy admits to Matt’s latest lady friend Kristen McDuffie that Matt is Daredevil and that he is hallucinating and may have gone insane. The Assistant District Attorney has no choice but to start a public manhunt for a vigilante she’s been told (by his best friend, no less) is a danger to himself and others.

Meanwhile, with the help of Henry Pym, Daredevil makes a discovery that leads him to search out the C-list villain he believes is behind his life falling apart only to discover he’s not a C-lister anymore. Daredevil might not be crazy, but no his life is in the hands of a madman, and, should he escape, he’ll have an entire city’s police force hunting him down. The man without fear has had better days. Worth a look.

Young Justice #21

young-justice-21-coverYoung Justice #21 keeps to the format started in last month’s issue as we jump around from current events to those that took place five years before. In the current time period the arrival of Braniac has caused several members of both Young Justice and the Justice League (and several super-villains) to be kidnapped including Superman, Superboy, Captain Atom, Captain Marvel, and Wonder Woman.

Trapped on the moon Captain Atom and Captain Marvel come up with a plan of escape, while on Earth the remaining heroes discover the entire city of Metropolis has been cut-off from the outside world. Nightwing and Wonder Girl‘s pitch to the new Blue Beetle to join the team is put on hold as the heroes regroup and split their remaining members into two teams.

The first team led by Nightwing tries to find a way into Metropolis, where the heroes trapped inside the force field are already on the scene. And a second team including Miss Martian and heads to the moon to rescue their friends and find some answers. Worth a look.

Psych – Season Six

  • Title: Psych – The Complete Sixth Season
  • tv.com: link

psych-season-six-dvdShawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dulé Hill) return for yet another season of tomfoolery and crime solving wackiness. Highlights from Psych‘s Sixth Season include the return of Pierre Despereaux (Cary Elwes) and a search for a treasure trove of lost art, Shawn and Gus going undercover with a local minor league baseball team, the introduction of William Shatner as Juliet’s (Maggie Lawson) father, Shawn going undercover in a mental institution, and a Hangover-inspired episode as Shawn, Gus, Lassie (Timothy Omundson), and Woody (Kurt Fuller) try to piece together the events of a wild night together.

Other stories this year include a vampire killer, Lassie getting a girlfriend (Kristy Swanson) and moving into a haunted apartment, a comic book episode featuring Santa Barbara’s own vigilante, Shawn and Juliet’s lover’s retreat, the return (sort of) of Blackapella, and a Chinatowninspired season finale leaving the future of one cast regular (Corbin Bernsen) in serious doubt.
