Percy Jackson and the Olympians - We Visit the Garden Gnome Emporium

After an introductory episode that led to Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) realizing he’d been lied to his entire life and introduced him to the magical world which was more than just his imagination, and a second episode that dramatically increased the amount of information and characters of the magical world in fleshing out the unfortunately named Camp Half Blood (only to have nearly all those characters and setting be immediately removed from the ongoing narrative), Percy sets out on his quest with Annabeth (Leah Jeffries) and Grover (Aryan Simhadri). “We Visit the Garden Gnome Emporium” is the best of the uneven series so far foreshadow trouble for the quest, disagreements among the trio, and a run-in with Medusa (Jessica Parker Kennedy). While still very much Harry Potter-lite, at least the actual storyline of Percy’s quest has begun.

Harley Quinn #35

There’s not an abundance of plot in Harley Quinn #35 with pages and pages devoted to Harley‘s monologuing and freaking out about her problems and the evil Brother Eyes monologuing about their plans (without giving anything away). The issue boils down into the evil Brother Eyes kidnapping Harley’s students and holding them hostage as an attempt to bait Harley into a trap while also infecting most of Harley’s new multiversal friends with their virus.

Darth Vader #41

Picking up the story with Darth Vader having been infected by Scourge as part of the Dark Droids crossover continues. Darth Vader #41 basically features a battle of wills between the Dark Lord of the Sith and the droid virus which attempts to convince Vader to let go of his remaining humanity and embrace what Scourge offers while Vader uses Scourge’s own droid virus to turn droids to his control leading to lots of carnage but basically a standstill with an epilogue teasing the storyline which will begin after this arc concludes.

Doctor Who - The Church on Ruby Road

The last of the four holiday specials, “The Church on Ruby Road” marks the first adventure of the Fifteenth Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and the introduction of his next companion in Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) and her adopted mother (Michelle Greenidge). Ignoring for now the rather obvious comparisons between Ruby and Rose, Gibson’s story also comes with a mysterious heritage whose foreshadowing looms large over the episode. While I think it’s possible the identity of her parents won’t play a major role in her arc, I don’t think it’s all that likely. While that provides one mystery, another is raised in the identity of the Sunday’s neighbor (Anita Dobson) who knows more than your average person about time travel and the TARDIS.
