Person of Interest - RAM

Taking place in 2010, the latest episode of Person of Interest features Reese (Jim Caviezel) still working along side of Kara Stanton (Annie Parisse) for the CIA who has ordered the pair to eliminate a traitor. The truth, however, is a bit more interesting. Their target is computer programmer Daniel Casey (Joseph Mazzello) who was hired by Control (Camryn Manheim) and her subordinate (Jay O. Sanders) to break into a Top Secret computer system in the Pacific Northwest.

Samurai Jack #5

/ / Comics

Samurai Jack #5The first arc of the new Samurai Jack comic comes to a close as Samurai Jack ventures into Aku‘s fortress to find the final remaining Tread of Time and come within a breath of fulfilling his destiny and making it home.

Other than to collect the arc in a graphic novel there’s no real reason to end the storyline so quickly as Jack’s quest to collect the various threads could have continued for quite some time. For better or worse the storyline is shortened, through montages in each of the last few issues, and Jack’s quest to reconstitute the Rope of Eons comes to an end.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #31

/ / Comics

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #31The Turtles’ Northampton retreat continues as April gets a spunky new hairdo, a still-confused Leonardo takes an important first-step into returning to his role as the Turtles’ leader, and Raphael finally accepts Alopex into the family, at least until Shredder’s new warriors led by Koya find them.

I’m hoping the bridge built between Raphael and Alopex, who I very much enjoy together, isn’t so quickly burned down as the Turtle is quick to blame Shredder‘s former soldier for leading the Foot Clan’s assassins to the group.

Other than the first appearance of Koya, who we should be seeing much more of next issue, and April’s haircut, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #31 is most notable for Leonardo accepting the blue mask from Splinter and taking his place alongside his brothers yet again. Now we see if Shredder’s training, with the abscence of the brainwashing, has made Leonardo a more fierce warrior or if this too will take time. Worth a look.
