Intelligence - Cain and Gabriel

When an evil super-genius (Alan Ruck) hacks the protected WITSEC database and begins blackmailing former criminals into his complicated terrorist plot involving releasing a weaponized toxic gas in San Fransisco, Gabriel (Josh Holloway) and Riley (Meghan Ory) take a trip to the golden state along with a concerned Lillian (Marg Helgenberger) whose estranged daughter (Laura Slade Wiggins) has made the Bay Area her home. More concerned with protecting her daughter than warning her, Lillian spends much of the episode frozen in indecision while Gabriel and Riley hunt for the puppet master through his blackmail victims.

Green Hornet #10

/ / Comics

Green Hornet #10With the local police and Federal law enforcement, those who the Green Hornet hasn’t already paid off, bumbling around looking for the vigilante posing as a crime boss, the Green Hornet and Kato‘s attention is squarely on finding The Voice and stopping the Nazi terrorist from doing any more harm to the city.

Along with Black Beauty tracking down The Voice’s mobile broadcast and the road rage that ends with the heroes putting an end to the terrorist’s reign of terror once and for all, the issue starts rebuilding Britt Reid’s overconfidence suggesting either or both Reid and/or the Green Hornet may be in for another fall from grace in the very near future.

Callahan‘s investigation into the fake Hornet ties nicely into the storyline from Green Hornet #8 while wrapping up the storyline of The Voice (while still leaving unseen aristocrats behind his broadcasts free to cause future mischief). Worth a look.

Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #3

/ / Comics

Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #3What should be a relatively simple take down by Mystery, Inc. and Batman and Robin of The Spook and False Face turns far more complicated when Batman’s #1 fan from the Fifth Dimension shows up to cause all kinds of trouble. That’s right, it’s Bat-Mite!

Of course to show how much he loves Batman the imp begins messing with reality including changing the appearances of Mystery, Inc. (more than once) and endowing the villainous weapon-creators with extraordinary powers to make them more of a threat for the heroes to take down.

Things get even wackier with the appearance of Scooby’s #1 fan Scooby-Mite who decides to make his own changes to reality (including given the scaredy-dog super-powers). We even get an appearance of Larry (Robin’s biggest fan) to make the insanity complete. Once again, my only complaint with this comic is that I have to wait two months between issues. Worth a look.

The Mentalist - Black Helicopters

The murder of a Federal Public Defender in Mexico leads Jane‘s (Simon Baker) to uncover an underground tunnel from Texas to Mexico used to smuggle people and goods across the border (and dump the victim’s body in another country). Despite the number of laws the rancher is charged with breaking, murder isn’t one of them leading Jane and Fischer (Emily Swallow) to look for leads on this side of the border involving a Texas commune (which Jane strands Fischer to investigate on his own).

Uncanny X-Men #18

/ / Comics

Uncanny X-Men #18Uncanny X-Men #18 feels a little off from the get-go. Because of other storylines the series hasn’t had a chance to reincorporate (or even acknowledge) the rest of the time-displaced X-Men who have joined Cyclops‘ team (other than Angel who joined months ago) and now the entire group is missing the entire issue is an attempt to play catch-up to events that have been going on for a couple of months now.

What Uncanny X-Men #18 delivers is a flashback to Kitty Pryde confronting Cyclops (with the intention of murdering him) and eventually leading the time-displaced X-Men to Cyclops’ new school (before she left with them all to head into space to rescue Jean Grey).

Although awkward (seriously, this issue should have taken place at least two months ago) it does deliver some interesting moments between Cyclops and his younger self and Jean Grey. If you’ve been waiting for the issue that reincorporates the rest of the X-Men this is it… but only kinda because in the present they are all off-world. For fans.
