Chirpin’ Tuesday Reviews 07/16/14

Adventure Time #30 (Boom!)
NickZ: The characters of AT make an anthology comic book. It’s brilliant!

All-New X-Factor #11 (Marvel)
NickZ: This book is a must read if you like well written, team books with great art, OR if you just want to see Gambit naked a lot!

Aphrodite IX/Cyberforce #1 (Top Cow)
Infinite Speech: The Top Cow Universe is going places you’d never thought of and this issue proves you should be along for the ride!

Avengers World #9 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: Cannonball and Sunspot really do need their own mini series.

batman eternal 15Batman Eternal #15 (DC)
Arnab: I wish this whole series was drawn by Dustin Nguyen, though that’d be impossible. But that cover? Amazing. Gorgeous.
NickZ: If a weekly soap opera had better writers, a bigger budget, and batman, it would be this book.
Martin: 4/5 stars. The star here is Dustin Nguyen’s art, & second we get some cool Batwing/Jim Corrigan scenes. The rest is OK.

Burn the Orphanage Reign of Terror #3 (Image)
NickZ: If you like to see sexy, fashionable, sassy Ladies throw down in some awesome chick-fights, then Burn the Orphanage RoT is for you.

Darkstarlkers: The Night Warriors #1 (Udon)
Infinite Speech: Fan of the game? Well then you’re in for a treat here!

Elektra #4 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: The story didn’t move too much but damn if it didn’t look wonderful!

Lady Zorro #1 (Dynamite)
Infinite Speech: Pretty solid issue and that kill so early was unexpected but very cool!

Magneto #7 (Marvel)
NickZ: Magneto in a grim and gritty series is everything you never knew, you’ve always wanted.

Ms. Marvel #6 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: Kamala says the BEST line in comics this week during her meeting with Wolverine!

New 52 Futures End #11 (DC)
Martin: 3.5/5 stars. I’m all for character development & stuff, but why do Firestorm & Mr. Terrific have to be such d-bags?

Nova #19 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: I feel sorry for Sam. This kid has been on an emotional rollercoaster for a while now.

original sin 6Original Sin #6 (Marvel)
Arnab: I really don’t care about Nick Fury, I wish this was more about the Watcher, maybe Nova too. That kid was cool in the #0 issue.
Infinite Speech: WHO SHOT THE WATCHER?!
NickZ: It’s old-ass Nick Fury vs the rest of the Marvel Universe. ’nuff said!

Original Sin: Hulk vs Iron Man #2
Infinite Speech: The secret revealed here has the most impact. I wish the other reveals were this relevant.

Rat Queens #7 (Image)
Infinite Speech: Rat Queens dominates because Wiebe & Upchurch are delivering everything you’re asking for and then hitting you with more!

Red Hood and the Outlaws #33 (DC)
NickZ: TBH, Kori is the least interesting of this trio and stories about her are boring.

Robin Rises Omega #1 (DC)
Arnab: I am so very conflicted about how I want this to end. Wait, no I’m not. Bring Damian back!
Infinite Speech: I might be the only person that liked Damian but I hope he comes back!
NickZ: You know whats scarier that regular Batman? Crazy Batman! Shazam and Luthor can back me up on that.
Martin: 3.5/5 stars. Kubert’s art is well-done but the rest of the story lacks the heart of a father searching for his son.

The Squidder #1 (IDW)
Martin: 4.5/5 stars. We know Templesmith’s art is awesome, but he also scripts this post-apocalyptic Cthulhu horror western… thing.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #36 (IDW)
Infinite Speech: All the elements that make up a great comic are right here in IDW’s TMNT series!

Teen Titans #1 (DC)
Arnab: So much better than the last series was towards the end.
Infinite Speech: Glad this series is back but let’s hope it doesn’t suffer the problems of the previous installment.
NickZ: The Teen Titans tried to be the Young Avengers and failed, but on the bright side, this series is already much better than their previous one.

Uncanny X-Men #23 (Marvel)
Arnab: Considering all the shit Xavier put Cyclops through, his will better be an absolving of Cyclops.
Infinite Speech: Why is this an Original Sin tie-in, Marvel? Go ahead…I’ll wait.
NickZ: Xavier’s Will is going to be the saving grace of Cyclops or a fatal blow to him. Either way, expect major shake ups.

wicked and divine 2The Wicked & The Divine #2 (Image)
NickZ: This book just gets more fascinating with each new issue. I am very intrigued to see what’s going to happen next.

Wildfire #2 (Top Cow)
Infinite Speech: Supervillians have nothing on how scary Hawkins makes the real world look!

X-Men #16 (Marvel)
Arnab: What a bunch of hypocrites. #teamwolverine #theylearnedfromthebest
Infinite Speech: I want to like this issue but the time travel/changes have confused me.
NickZ: Storm is basically condoning killing and Psylocke is taking the students into battle….so…once again…CYCLOPS WAS RIGHT!

X-Men 100th Anniversary #1 (Marvel)
NickZ: All there is to say about this is, Scott and Jean FOREVER!
