Green Lantern #8

Green Lantern #8 offers the arrival of the Blue Lantern Razer on Earth who warns Hal Jordan of attacks against the Power Batteries of multiple of the rainbow brigade leading him to challenge the exiled Green Lantern to try and make a difference. Unfortunately, despite a will to succeed, Hal is unable to breach the barrier that keeps him contained on Earth. The plot, which feels like a homage to classic Silver Surfer tales, but, like with the Surfer, the best adventures are always out in space isn’t anything special, although there is some good humor and the art by Amancay Nahuelpan is great to look at.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Prophecy Comes True

Percy Jackson and the Olympians concludes with an episode that offer short confrontations between Percy (Walker Scobell) and Ares (Adam Copeland) on Earth and Percy and Zeus (Lance Reddick) in Olympus before winding down the adventure with a whimper. We also get moments of Percy with his father and his resurrected mother. While his arc does gain him recognition in the magical community, and allow him to put skills to the test, things overall don’t change with the gods still meddling in the lives of mortals to their own ends and Percy leaving Camp Half-Blood and returning home until called upon for his next adventure. It’s an underwhelming finale for an underwhelming season. At least the show is consistent.

Argylle

Argylle is bonkers. The latest from director Matthew Vaughn, in his collaboration with screenwriter Jason Fuchs, contains more than a little Kingsman DNA in an over-the-top tale of a best-selling author who discovers the characters and stories she has been writing about are real. As a one-time experience, Argylle may be worth a viewing. As a film, the over-the-top tone is inconsistent for both the serious and comedic sequences it is constantly applied to. When the film leans into its inherent goofiness ratcheting up to levels that make Kingsman: The Secret Service look like a spy documentary, Argylle can be fun, but when it attempts to be serious about a story we simply can not take seriously the entire movie grinds to a screeching halt.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians - We Find Out the Truth, Sort Of

Suddenly at the entrance to the Underworld, because why bog down your audience in the logical progression of plot or story when randomly jumping ahead is just easier, Percy (Walker Scobell) and his friends descend looking to both free Percy’s mother and retrieve the magical artifact that Percy discovers has been in his backpack for multiple episodes. And, here’s the kicker, Hades (Jay Duplass) doesn’t even want it.
