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.

Uncanny X-Men #2

/ / Comics

Uncanny X-Men #2Before teasing us the huge conflict on the horizon for Scott Summers and his new band of X-Men, the latest issue of Uncanny X-Men takes a step back and deals on the relationships inside the new Charles Xavier’s School for Mutants, particularly that of Cyclops and Emma Frost.

Issue #2 catches us up on the state of Cyclops and Emma’s strained relationship after the fallout of AvX that left both unable to fully control their powers. Although still able to project her thoughts, often without meaning to, Emma’s ability to read other’s minds has not returned. Although no longer romantically involved, it’s obvious the two still care for each other and if Cyclops’ new version of the X-Men is going to work he’s going to have to rely heavily on his former flame.

We also get learn a little more about a couple of Cyclops’ new recruits: Fabio Medina and Tempus (whose wish to see her family send the group back to Australia and, thanks to Magneto‘s betrayal, right into the path of the Avengers). Worth a look.

Courtney Crumrin #10

/ / Comics

Courtney Crumrin #10The end of a storyline isn’t usually the best place to jump into a new comic, but that’s what I did Courtney Crumrin #10 from Oni Press which I’d been meaning to check out for some time. The comic, written and drawn by Ted Naifeh, centers around the adolescent Courtney Crumrin who, as this issue begins, has forgotten that she is the most powerful witch in the town thanks to the council of witches’ spell to keep the girl out of the way of their quest for the ultimate power.

A bit off and odd girl, Courtney is forced to deal with bullying at the middle school, the off-and-on attention of her scattered parents, and, in this issue, the impeding death of her Uncle Aloysius who taught the girl witchcraft and, with his last remaining breath, restores Courtney’s memories and power allowing her to stop the council once and for all.

With the main character a little lost, and having to be reintroduced to her world, the issue works well as an introduction to Courtney and her world and delivers a pretty good tale. Worth a look.
