Person of Interest - Proteus

After receiving six numbers from The Machine (five of whom have disappeared off the grid entirely), Reese (Jim Caviezel) heads out to a small Northeastern coastal town following the only one of the numbers whose whereabouts are known. There he finds an agent of the FBI (Luke Macfarlane) investigating the same case, but both are forced to sit out a storm in a police station with a group of locals and tourists, one of whom may well be their killer. Looking into the man’s apartment and basement Finch (Michael Emerson) discovers human teeth in the building’s boiler room leading Finch to believe someone has killed each of the six victims in order to assume their identities for his own nefarious purposes.

Ame-Comi Girls #1

/ / Comics

Ame-Comi Girls #1The all-new Ame-Comi Girls series picks up with the last one left off with Earth’s heroes (or to be more specific the all female Ame-Comi versions of them) united to stop Braniac‘s attack on Earth. As Wonder Woman battles a Supergirl corrupted by the influence of the machine that destroyed her home world, Batgirl tries to foil Braniac’s schemes with nothing more than her wits and smart phone.

After realizing Braniac’s plans to destroy the planet the villainesses join the heroes in fighting off the robotic soldiers and trying (unsuccessfully) to destroy the machines which have risen from deep in the Earth from transferring all human knowledge off-world into Brainiac. Meahwile, at the center of the Earth the right fight takes place as Power Girl, after convincing the mechanical beings living in the Earth’s core to help, takes on Braniac one-on-one.

Although Brainiac’s master plan seems more than a little ridiculous (even by Silver Age standards) this first issue is full of action and some humorous moments (such as Duela‘s amusement of Wonder Woman’s attempt to stab every problem into submission). Worth a look.

[DC, $3.99]
