Things get serious for Beckett (Stana Katic) very quickly as she continues her late night snooping into the lives of William Bracken (Jack Coleman), Vulcan Simmons (Jonathan Adams), and the man who connects them (who ends up dead less than an hour after Beckett stops tailing him one night). Then Simmons turns up dead as well, after being tortured to death by a methodical killer seeking answers, only minutes after Beckett questioned him. And when Lanie (Tamala Jones) matches the ballistics of the second murder to Kate’s gun Detective Beckett becomes the target of a manhunt.

Following the pattern of IDW’s other JOE series, the current main G.I. JOE comic comes to an end with G.I. JOE #15. Continuing the story of Cobra’s newest asset Siren, the JOEs arrive at a Cobra training base and indoctrination center where her son and dozens of other recruits have been brainwashed by the terrorist organization.
Far from wrapping up Siren’s story, G.I. JOE #15 at least resigns her to her fate as her future is tied to that of her son who wants no help from Cobra’s enemies. The comic is highlighted by some strong art by Steve Kurth, a throwdown between Roadblock and Big Boa, and Hashtag struggling to see the rescue of several children, but not Siren or her son, as anything other than a failure.
The comic certainly leaves several questions from the series left unanswered (such as Cover Girl‘s concerns and suspicions about Duke) as IDW closes the book on the last of their JOE titles heading into this Fall’s “Fall of G.I. JOE.” Worth a look.

Under the pretense of trying Jane (Simon Baker) for the murder of Red John, the FBI sets up a sting to investigate the members of a grand jury who recently let a mob boss (Jonathan LaPaglia) walk on murder charges. Jane’s trial gives the Mentalist an unique opportunity to observe each member of the panel, and even attempt to engage with the directly, although the prosecutor (Merle Dandridge), who isn’t clued in on the truth of the matter, is less than pleased with Jane’s trademark antics.

With the original X-Men returned their space adventure with the Guardians of the Galaxy, but without the younger Scott Summers who decided to become a space pirate with his dad, there’s a small calm before the next storm. Of course it only really lasts about half an issue as X-23 decides to leave Cyclops’ X-Men only to be attacked by a member of a group who has found the X-Men’s hidden home. It seems the Future Brotherhood of Mutants have returned.
Although the second-half deals with X-23’s attack and setting up what should be an action-packed issue next month, the standout scenes of All-New X-Men #26 are Iceman‘s humorous honesty about X-23 and Scott and Jean Grey sitting down for their first real talk since Kitty Pryde and the rest of the time-displaced original X-Men chose to join Cyclops’ team. There’s something sweet yet almost incestuous about how easily the pair communicate based on their experiences with each other’s other selves. Worth a look.
