“Our killer is targeting a-holes.”

Psych - S.E.I.Z.E. the Day

Officer Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) psyches himself up to go after the shooter targeting Interim Police Chief Trout (Anthony Michael Hall), even if it requires dying “in a hailstorm of bullets” (something Trout is willing to live with), but when Marlowe (Kristy Swanson) breaks the news about her pregnancy the SBPD’s former Chief Detective finds himself less willing to put his life on the line. Enlisting the help of Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dulé Hill), who are still banned from working for the department and are struggling with Shawn’s ridiculous new plan to transform himself into a life coach, Lassiter brings in Trout’s mother (Celia Weston) as their leading suspect.

The Mentalist - Golden Hammer

Jane (Simon Baker) and the FBI head to Houston to investigate the suspicious death of a government-paid cartographer working on Pentagon defense contracts who was investigating a potential security leak in the company before his unlikely drug overdose on an assorted cocktail of everything from amphetamines to horse tranquilizers. Although initially fingering the victim’s brother (Travis Schuldt) as a lark, Jane will use the man’s obvious motive to later lay a trap for the real killer.

Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #2

/ / Comics

Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #2The second issue of Scooby-Doo! Team-Up takes Mystery Inc. to Batman and Robin‘s home town for a gathering of the Mystery Analysts of Gotham City. Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #2 also allows Scooby-Doo to realize his dream as a super-hero sidekick when the Scarecrow‘s fear gas turns distracts all the heroes from the villain’s scheme to rob the city blind.

With the support and prompting of Ace the Bat-Hound, Scooby dons a cape and mask and the two canine crimefighters, both immune to the villain’s fear toxin, set out to save the day.

Delivering a Dynamic Canine Duo, Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #2 is another extremely enjoyable issue (while playing on iconic Batman panels along the way) from a title I hope DC never stops printing. The New 52 needs a serious jolt of the kind of madcap joy and comic book awesomeness that stories like this bring to clean the grit from several of DC’s current titles. Bring on the next Bat-villain; Scooby and I are waiting! Worth a look.

[DC, $2.99]
