Peter (Tim DeKay) is surprised by the arrival of his old girlfriend (Kim Dickens) who enlists his help to take down a security analyst (Christian Campbell) who is selling a top-secret password-decrypting microchip on the black market. The return of his former flame from their time together in Quantico, and Peter’s inability to tell his wife about any aspect of the time they are spending together, makes Elizabeth (Tiffani Thiessen) more than a little uncomfortable leading to Elizabeth enlisting the help of Neal (Matt Bomer) to try and discover what’s really going on.

Top 10 Comic Issues of 2013

/ / Top Tens & Lists

top-10-comic-issues-of-2013

Here’s my look back at the ten best single comic issues from the past year. Including ongoing series, one-shots, and mini-series, the only limitations I put on this list was that the comic had to have been released in 2013 (no reprints) and I limited myself to only a single issue from any one title. Because I was focusing on standout issues rather than consistently strong comics every month several of my favorite series missed the cut, but, if time permits, I may work up my regular list of best comic series of the past year as well.

The Mentalist - My Blue Heaven

Two years after the events of last week’s episode where Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) caught-up with and killed Red John (Xander Berkeley), “My Blue Heaven” picks up with Jane on a small island with no extradition treaty living a simple life which is interrupted by the separate arrivals of both a beautiful woman and FBI Agent Abbot (Rockmond Dunbar) who each, in their own way, tempt the Mentalist to end his island isolation and return to the real world. We also glimpse in on the lives of various former members of the CBI who have moved on to other interests after Jane’s departure. Although the show will be continuing after this episode, it appears to be the last stop for Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) and Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) with both actors leaving the show.

Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #1

/ / Comics

Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #1Okay, there are two things you should know about me before we begin. 1) I love me some classic Batman. And 2) I love me some classic Scooby-Doo. What happens when you throw these two things together for the first issue of Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #1? You get the most fun Batman comic I’ve read in more than two years!

While checking out rumors of an man-sized bat-creature in the area, Scooby-Doo and Mystery, Inc. run into Batman and Robin who are chasing down scientist Kurt Langstrom who has transformed into Man-Bat. Fans of Scooby-Doo Meets Batman will enjoy the lighthearted tone and fun of the all-age comic that delivers plenty of action as the Scooby Gang help the Dynamic Duo take down a group of masked robbers as well as the creature himself. And I can’t tell you how much I love seeing Batman back in his classic costume (although with better art than in those Scooby episodes).

Both young and old fans should find something worth picking up here in a comic I couldn’t help but smile through as I turned every single page. Best of the Week.

[DC, $2.99]
