The Human Target #11

/ / Comics

The penultimate issue of the twelve-issue maxi-series gives us Christopher Chance and Ice together on the day before he dies. It’s a sweet and beautiful issue with secrets unburdened and love expressed before the sun begins to set and harder truths and pain is shared. For a comic that’s just two characters spending a day at the beach it’s an amazing read that is all the more painful knowing we’re so close to the end.

NCIS investigates the death of a Marine Captain on a beach where signs point to him being killed before an attempted suicide. The tightlipped unit isn’t offering any help, although NCIS uncovers two different suspects including a former Marine turned monk (Wes Chatham) who Jesse (Noah Mills) befriends.

Will Trent – Don’t Let It Happen Again

  • Title: Will Trent – Don’t Let It Happen Again
  • IMDb: link

The third episode of Will Trent takes some unexpected turns as a pair of recent killings tie back to the murder of a family decades before. Although the episode tips its hand a bit as to who the killer is, the reveal still works especially in how the climax affects Faith (Iantha Richardson). We get a little more bonding between Trent (Ramón Rodríguez) and Faith, a quick look at how Trent has grown attached to Betty, and in the subplot an old mistake comes back to bite Angie (Erika Christensen) leading her back to Trent for comfort. More murder of the week than the first two episodes, “Don’t Let It Happen Again” is a solid episode even if the show still hasn’t gotten me sold on its subplots yet.

NCIS: Hawai’i – Rising Sun

  • Title: NCIS: Hawai’i – Rising Sun
  • wiki: link

“Rising Sun” offers the return of CGSI Neil Pike (Mark Gessner) whose undercover mission to recover smuggled guns ends in bloodshed when put between various sides of the local Yakuza when the upstart son of one of the most powerful families starts up an old rivalry for his own gain. Pike seems to get passed around to someone in every episode and this time he’s Ernie‘s (Jason Antoon) problem (although the pair do manage to forge a bond by the end). Other than Team Nernie, the episode is notable for Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) and Whistler (Tori Anderson) having each other’s backs and for stirring up the ongoing B-story involving Kai‘s (Alex Tarrant).
