Action Comics #45 (DC)
Martin: 3/5 stars. I like seeing Clark deal with situations without having access to his powers, but the art was inconsistent.
All-New All-Different Point One #1 (Marvel)
NickZ: That Daredevil book looks really interesting but I’ll probably only be getting All-New Inhumans.
Infinite Speech: Okay, I saw a couple of things that were cool and now I’m interested in what the Maestro is going to do.
The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (Marvel)
NickZ: Really feels like this is becoming Batman Inc. Also, not nearly enough Anna Maria Marconi!
Infinite Speech:
Angel & Faith #19 (Dark Horse)
NickZ: Archaeus and Dru invade Magic Town and Angel and pals seem powerless to stop them!
Avengers #0 (Marvel)
NickZ: I’m really looking forward to New Avengers. Uncanny Avengers looks like it’s gonna piss me off.
Batman Beyond #5 (DC)
NickZ: I love how they are tying in all this Batman history. Tim and Babs conversation was too funny. Also, future Tim Drake could give Dick Grayson a run for his money.
Batman: Detective Comics #45 (DC)
Arnab: Of all the heroes in the world to invite into the Justice League, they choose Gordon? wtf
Martin: 3.5/5 stars. It’s starting to feel like both the Bats & Supes scripts are just stalling before we get back to normal
NickZ: Jim “Robo-Batman” Gordon working with the Justice League is just to weird to comprehend.
Batman & Robin Eternal #1 (DC)
Arnab: The idea is a nice one, Go Robins!, but so far it’s just been decent.
Infinite Speech: This was much better than I expected and that cliffhanger blew me away!!
Martin: 4/5 stars. Really great art, but so far the title of the book should be called “Bat-Sidekicks Eternal.”
NickZ: Another Bat-Family story that centers on Batman keeping secrets? REALLY!?!
Copperhead #10 (Image)
NickZ: Well worth the wait for this issue. A great ending to “year one”! I can’t wait for what’s next!
Cyborg #3 (DC)
Martin: Love the inclusion of the Metal Men, but the Justice League bit was unnecessary. Needs more focus on Cyborg himself.
Infinite Speech: Another great issue and that was a doozy of a cliffhanger at the end.
Darth Vader #10 (Marvel)
NickZ: Vader treads treacherous waters while his minions get vicious.
Infinite Speech: Dare I say that Gillen is writing the perfect Vader?!
Doctor Strange #1 (Marvel)
NickZ: Nothing like I was expecting. A very interesting take on the good doctor. I’m intrigued and onboard.
Infinite Speech: Okay…I read a Doc Strange book and actually liked it. This is one of the signs of the apocalypse people so blame Jason Aaron.
Drive #2 (IDW)
NickZ: The art and feel of the book is spot on! If you loved the movie, don’t miss this series!
Groot #5 (Marvel)
NickZ: Groot has never been more cute and more terrifying than he is in this issue.
Heroes Vengeance #1 (Titan)
NickZ: A cool series showing the origins of the new characters from Heroes Reborn!
Journey to Star Wars FASE #2 (Marvel)
NickZ: The war with the Empire is far from over…to the people of Naboo’s dismay.
Lando #5 (Marvel)
NickZ: I had my doubts that Lando could pull off leading this own book but Charles Soule proved me wrong with each new issue!
Midnighter #5 (DC)
Arnab: If only Midnighter was single, this could have been the birth of Bisexual Dick Grayson.
NickZ: The sexual tension between Midnight and Dick Grayson is off the charts.
Old Man Logan #5 (Marvel)
NickZ: I’m sure the end of this issue will make more sense when we get to the end of Secret Wars. It was nice seeing the X-Men together again.
Paper Girls #1 (Image)
Arnab: I have no idea where this series is going, but I am fully on board.
Martin: 4/5 stars. I’ll be honest – I liked this a lot better than I was expecting to. All 4 girls are unique, fun, & interesting.
NickZ: What an awesome/weird as hell first issue! Nothing like I expected but excellent still the same.
Plutona #2 (Image)
Arnab: 2 for 2! These kids are so well written and developed, it’s fantastic.
NickZ: This series continues to be excellent! I’d follow these kids anywhere, even if they hadn’t found the dead body of a superhero!
Secret Wars #6 (Marvel)
Arnab: It’s always the nosy kids that ruin everything. #lowkeywaitingforPhoenixCyclopstoreturn.
NickZ: All hell is breaking loose! You actually feel kinda bad for Doom God.
Infinite Speech: Aside from the delays it’s still a great event.
Sensation Comics #15 (DC)
NickZ: Wonder Woman battles Cheetah and the legal system…no, really!
Southern Bastards #11 (Image)
Infinite Speech: Eleven consecutive great issues from Aaron and Latour so check it out!
Spider-Island #5 (Marvel)
NickZ: A fun series that mixed superheroes & monsters. I wouldn’t mind if this book continued past Secret Wars.
Star Wars #10 (Marvel)
NickZ: This series was going so well and then they had to bring in a Gungan.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #50 (IDW)
Arnab: Now THAT is how you do a 50th issue!
Infinite Speech: SO MUCH AWESOME IN THIS ISSUE! It’s a rollercoaster of emotional content and kick ass action! Thanks to the entire team for 50 great issues!
We Stand on Guard #4 (Image)
Martin: 3/5 stars. While the idea has so much potential, the execution’s just been off especially in terms of characterization
NickZ: The S*** hits the fan as all out war has started! The Americans are such A-Holes!
Infinite Speech: That was one intense last page!

TMNT #50 was probably the best comic out this week! That finale was SO UNEXPECTED AND FANTASTIC!!
