“The thing that’s different about me, empirically speaking, is you.”

Elementary - A Landmark Story

Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) heads to prison to talk with Sebastian Moran (Vinnie Jones) who informs the consulting detective that an apparent heart attack victim who was targeted by Moriarty and most certainly did not die of natural causes. To check the murderer’s assertions, Holmes and Watson (Lucy Liu) break into a funeral home “in the middle of the night to perform an illicit autopsy” which proves at least part of Moran’s story is true. Believing the man’s murder had something to do with his vote on renovating a historical speakeasy, Holmes and Watson head over to talk with the contractor of the project who met with his own apparently accidental death via falling air conditioner that very morning. The game is definitely afoot.

Person of Interest - Zero Day

Infected by Stanton‘s (Annie Parisse) virus, The Machine has gone silent for ten days before delivering Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Finch (Michael Emerson) the number of a CEO of a data company whose employees spend their days reinserting reams of code into a system for no apparent purpose. After investigating the man, who no one has even met, Finch begins to suspect he is an invention of The Machine as a way to fight back against the virus. Realizing that Decima Technologies, a private intelligence organization headquartered in Shanghai who created the virus, is looking to control rather than destroy The Machine, Harold has no choice but to work with Root (Amy Acker) to save his creation from falling into the wrong hands, especially when she threatens to hurt Grace (Carrie Preston) if he doesn’t agree to her terms.

Supergirl #19

/ / Comics

Supergirl #19What happens when two Supergirls meet? That’s the question Supergirl #19 answers when Power Girl shows up to assist her twin from a parallel world after Supergirl is exposed to a nasty bit of Kryptonite poisoning. Just by touching, Power Girl is able to stabilize the other Kara’s condition allowing the pair of them to fight off Appex, a bargain flunkie Lex Luthor sends to test the limits of the pair’s powers.

There’s plenty of action here as they two Karas kick some ass, and the idea of the pair working together and sharing their memories and thoughts is an intriguing one that I hope the New 52 will play with in the future. The issue is also memorable for the DC finally admitting that one of their costume designs wasn’t getting the job done. By the end of the issue Power Girl will be returned to her classic costume (one done, about 100 more to go) to the appreciation of fans everywhere.

It appears Power Girl is sticking around for another month giving us double the Kara fun which means I’ll likely pick up next month’s issue as well to see where this new friendship is headed. Worth a look.

[DC, $2.99]
