SERIES PREMIERE Emmet Quinlan, an old widower rattled by dementia, isn''t just a problem for his children—his violent outbursts are more than the local cops can handle. When a tornado levels his home—as well as the surrounding West Texas town—a restored Quinlan rises from the wreckage. The enchanted sword at the eye of the storm gives him more than a sound mind and body, however. He''s now the only man who can face the otherworldly creatures the sword has drawn down to the Lone Star State... So much fun to watch creators fi nd that next level. Go, Cates, go! —BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS
