Person of Interest - In Extremis

Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Finch (Michael Emerson) may be too late to save their latest number, a cardiologist (Dennis Boutsikaris) who was given slow-acting poison for which there is no cure. For such an honest man the list of suspects is staggering: the man’s protege and former mistress (Gabrielle Miller), the doctor’s hedge fund manager (Matthew Humphreys) under SEC investigation for insider trading, a friend at a pharmaceutical firm (Matthew Rauch) whose drug trial was halted based on the doctor’s recommendation costing the firm millions, and the doctor’s estranged daughter (Allison Scagliotti).

Guardians of the Galaxy #2

/ / Comics

Guardians of the Galaxy #2Crashing to Earth with the Badoon warship, Iron Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy find themselves trapped in London with no possible support other than from the likes of British heroes like Captain Britain. (And, really, what help would they be anyway?)

The latest issue is a little slow to get going, and the action is interrupted on several occasions to showcase King J-Son‘s political workings with a who’s who of the leaders of the Marvel Universe’s cosmic races (including the Supreme Intelligence, Annihilus, Freya, Gladiator, Y-Gaaaar, and the Brood Queen, which leads to the Badoon attacking Earth (and which eventually gets our heroes in trouble after saving London).

The reasoning behind no other heroes showing up to assist Iron Man and the Guardians is a little weak (to say the least), but it does offer plenty of opportunities to showcase the the deadly skills of Gamora, Drax, and especially Rocket Racoon (who is his usual awesome self). Worth a look.

[Marvel, $3.99]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #21

/ / Comics

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #21Written and drawn by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman, the latest issue of the title features the heroes in a half shell doing battle with an annoying enemy in command of a variety of martial arts styles who continually bests the Turtles over the course of a single evening, while constantly mocking their feeble skills and even goes so far as to threaten the life of their master, Splinter.

We also get a short back-up story, setting up the comics next arc, involving the Shredder digging up a new threat for our heroes. As someone who didn’t read The Secret History of the Foot Clan, I’ll admit Kitsune’s appearance didn’t do much for me on its own, but Shredder’s reaction certainly help sell her arrival as an important event.

Fans of Eastman’s style will definitely want to pick this issue up as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #21 is filled with several fight sequences all drawn in the original style of the first TMNT comics. Longtime fans of the Turtles should be able to guess the identity of the Turtles’ attacker, but it certainly doesn’t take away from one hell of a great comic. Must-Read.

[IDW $3.99]
