Bones - The Blood from the Stones

Working around a documentary crew focusing on Bones (Emily Deschanel) and the team’s work for the Jeffersonian, the team investigates the murder of an undercover cop whose body decomposed in two different micro-climates after being shot twice in the chest (where the team also finds a bag of diamonds the victim swallowed before his death). Unbeknownst to Bones, the Jeffersonian asks Edison (Eugene Byrd) to take part in the documentary, whose sole purpose is to raise money for the institute, in order to “temper Dr. Brennan’s unusual abrasive manner.”

Castle - The Wild Rover

Beckett (Stana Katic) and Castle’s (Nathan Fillion) latest investigation of the murder of a man shot and left in an industrial cake mixer leads them to the shot caller of the Irish mob. While bringing in a bar owner named  Siobhan (Cara Buono) with ties to the family for questioning the team accidentally blows Ryan’s (Seamus Dever) eight year-old undercover identity when the woman kisses him, and then slaps him, in front of his wife (Juliana Dever) and coworkers. A visit from Special Agent Sam Walker (Benito Martinez) gives them a motive for the killing when he reveals the victim was his confidential informant who was helping the FBI get their hand’s on the mob’s bible (a list of payoffs and transactions which could take down the whole crew).

G.I. JOE #2

G.I. JOE #2Cobra has sprung it’s trap. The JOE team is divided and Duke has been captured by the Baroness and Dr. Mindbender as Cobra troops and the locals of Warrenton, Ohio, hunt down the wounded JOEs.

Roadblock, Quick Kick, and Tunnel Rat manage to keep the wounded Shipwreck safe from further harm as Cover Girl and a wounded Doc must deal with not only with the individuals hunting them but naivete of Hashtag who gives up their location to the enemy.

The action heats up in this second issue, and Cover Girl gets some nice kick-ass and wise-cracking moments, as the fractured team find themselves in enemy territory in the middle of the United States thanks to Cobra buying the cooperation of the struggling town’s locals.

Cut-off from the outside world, we’ll have to see how long the JOEs can keep fighting and how long Duke can hold out before succumming to Dr. Mindbender’s mind control. Once that happens, he’ll agree to do whatever the Baroness commands. Worth a look.
