It’s not every episode you see Nate (Timothy Hutton) dress up like a priest and punch out a nun. Okay, to be fair Sister Lupe (Sofia Pernas) isn’t a real nun and things always get a bit crazy when Hurley (Drew Powell) is in town.

Written and directed by J.C. Chandor, Margin Call is loosely based on the fall of Lehman Brothers, the mortgage bubble busting and the cause of the subprime mortgage crisis. Almost of the movie takes place over a single night as the reality of the situation sinks in on all concerned.
Hours after 80% of his co-workers have been fired, while working on a project begun by his former boss (Stanley Tucci), a young analyst (Zachary Quinto) makes a shocking discovery.
Due to the nature of the mortgage backed securities the firm has been handling recently trading will soon exceed the historical volatility levels used by the firm to calculate risk. In other words, very soon the company’s debt will far exceed its assets.
Over the course of an evening the matter is pushed upstairs as a small group must decide whether they allow the company to fail or try to unload the worthless mortgages off on other buyers and firms.
…
Following the death of Decker (Richard Burgi), Chuck (Zachary Levi), Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski), and Casey (Adam Baldwin) are declared fugitives and the United States Government assigns one of their most ruthless spies, Robyn Cunnings (Rebecca Romijn), to hunt them down.

Issue #4 picks up right after the cliffhanger from last months issue. Sinestro‘s plan to destroy the Yellow Battery by sending Hal Jordan inside of it has failed, but (despite what the final panel might have teased) Hal Jordan does survive.
Both Sinestro and Jordan are jailed separately. Jordan is thrown into isolation until the last of his ring’s energy has disapated. Sinestro, after hours of torture from his former followers (whose attempts to remove the green ring prove unfruitful), finds himself caged with survivors of a world who blame him for its destruction.
The issue has some moments including Hal’s final construct and his risky (and, as so often the case with the New 52 version of the character) somewhat ill-thought out plan of escape which leaves us with yet another cliffhanger.
It’s not a great issue, but it is a step up from last month that leaves us still in the dark what the long term plans for Sinestro’s role in the New 52 are to be. Worth a look.
