On a chaotic week the News Night crew tries to follow and report on not one but two public protests simultaneously. The first involves the forced, and violent, ejection of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and the second is a spontaneous protest of teachers angry at Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker‘s “Budget Repair Bill” and plan to break the unions and strip their collective bargaining rights of teachers and other union members.

Captain Atom #11

/ / Comics

captain-atom-new-52-11-coverWhat happens when a near omnipotent being gives into his own desires and greatest wish to be human again? The latest issue of Captain Atom shows us the unforeseen consequences when Captain Atom puts his consciousness in a human form to reconnect with humanity in general, and with Renita specifically.

Once again writer J.T. Krul takes an intriguing idea, Nathaniel Atom re-experiencing life as a “normal” man, and turns the story on its side by showing us that while most of Nate’s consciousness is walking around with Renita, his comatose form is also trying to make the wishes of those closest to him come true as well – whether that be the return of a dead relative, a collection of toys from childhood, or granting Dr. Megala‘s greatest wish.

However, it appears these unconcious gifts might actually be far more dangerous than the chance the human version of Nate gets into with Renita as the two finally give into their feelings for each other. Worth a look.

Betrayed by Dobbs (Gregg Henry) and shot by Agent Collins (Mekhi Phifer), Neal (Matt Bomer) finds himself facing a one-way ticket home and back to prison. That is, unless Peter (Tim DeKay) and Mozzie (Willie Garson) can find a way to separate Neal from Collins and get the con man back to New York on their own. The only thing Peter can offer the FBI to save Neal is something they may want more than Caffrey, and Peter has a pretty good idea what that might be when he figures out who Dobbs really is.

Scarlet Spider #7

/ / Comics

scarlet-spider-7-coverAlthough we don’t get the appearance of Kraven (which was teased last issue) things are hardly quiet for the Scarlet Spider who saves a falling beautiful young woman from an explosion in a high rise only to find out later, while in bed with her (in a terrific opening), that she was the one responsible for the explosion.

The fact that the woman disappears without a trace and the man whose building she blew up sweeps the whole matter under the rug leads our hero to initally try and forget the matter, but (as Aracely points out) he can’t. The Scarlet Spider’s investigation into the company Roxxon leads to the discovery of another explosion in Galvaston which was hushed up months ago.

His attempts to get some answers from the CEO of Roxxon do lead him to the identity of the distrubed young woman but also find him squared off against the Southwest’s mightiest heroes – The Rangers. Worth a look.
