West Coast Avengers #3

/ / Comics

West Coast Avengers #3 gives us an explanation for multiple Ultrons (including others we haven’t yet seen) along with the first confrontation from the Ultron prophet and the West Coast Avengers featuring their own Ultron, bringing the two face-to-face. Other than the backstory which adds some context to the current situation, there’s not much of note in the issue as the confrontation ultimately is left unresolved.

Dog Man

  • Title: Dog Man
  • IMDb: link

Based on the children’s books of the same name (spun off from Captain Underpants), Dog Man is exactly what you would expect from the premise of a police officer and his dog merged together after an explosion when the dog’s head is sewn on the cop’s body (but keeps his paws for some reason?) leading to the mediocre cop becoming a “supa cop” beloved by the entire city, except apparently the Mayor (Cheri Oteri).

Space Ghost #9

/ / Comics

Space Ghost #9 wraps up the Metallus arc with a battered, but not yet beaten, Space Ghost with Metallus while Jan, Jace, and Blip  take on the ships and robotic minions threatening to destroy yet another world. Rewriting Space Ghost’s history to make Metallus responsible for the death of Space Ghost’s own world and family (thus creating the spacegoing vigilante) ups the stakes in the issue (even if the tease of our  hero contemplating taking the villain’s life isn’t solid in a way for it to be possible to take seriously).

Arcane – Killing Is a Cycle / The Dirt Under Your Nails

  • IMDb: link | link

After peaking with “The Message Hidden Within the Pattern,” the Second Season of limps to the finish line with a what if multiverse style story followed by two episodes more concerned with the Noxian army’s collaboration with Viktor (Harry Lloyd), while never truly exploring the moral ramifications of what he has accomplished or Jayce‘s (Kevin Alejandro) obsession which cause the conflict, and their attack on Piltover rather than the characters who have made up the emotional core of the series. The result is an underwhelming finale with some individual moments that ends with a whimper rather than a bang.

The Irrational – Now You Don’t

  • Title: The Irrational – Now You Don’t
  • IMDb: link

Love, and magic, is in the air in “Now You Don’t” when Alec (Jesse L. Martin) taking Rose (Karen David) on a date to a magic club ends in murder. The Irrational’s use of psychology is more about explaining magic tricks than solving the case involving a magician friend (Carmel Amit) of Alec’s whose volunteer dies on stage. While I like the magic bits of the episode, including the fun moments from Simon (Max Lloyd-Jones) and Phoebe (Molly Kunz), the writing of the episode (relying mostly on the cops being too dumb to think things through and Alec stumbling into a solution rather than finding it through his talents) leaves something to be desired.
