The end of a storyline isn’t usually the best place to jump into a new comic, but that’s what I did Courtney Crumrin #10 from Oni Press which I’d been meaning to check out for some time. The comic, written and drawn by Ted Naifeh, centers around the adolescent Courtney Crumrin who, as this issue begins, has forgotten that she is the most powerful witch in the town thanks to the council of witches’ spell to keep the girl out of the way of their quest for the ultimate power.
A bit off and odd girl, Courtney is forced to deal with bullying at the middle school, the off-and-on attention of her scattered parents, and, in this issue, the impeding death of her Uncle Aloysius who taught the girl witchcraft and, with his last remaining breath, restores Courtney’s memories and power allowing her to stop the council once and for all.
With the main character a little lost, and having to be reintroduced to her world, the issue works well as an introduction to Courtney and her world and delivers a pretty good tale. Worth a look.

A new full-length trailer for Iron Man 3 has arrived featuring Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) trying to protect the woman he loves (Gwyneth Paltrow) and the planet from a terrorist known as the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley). A couple of points: 1) I’m pretty mixed on the look of the Iron Patriot on screen, 2) The Mandarin without his magic rings sounds pretty unimpressive, and 3) Why does Iron Man’s armor look worse instead of better in each successive film? Who designed this look, DC’s New 52? Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau, William Sadler, and James Badge Dale also star. Iron Man 3 opens in theaters on May 3rd.
