Chirpin’ Tuesday Reviews 05/18/16

Aliens: Defiance #2 (Dark Horse)
Infinite Speech: Aliens: Defiance grabs you like a face hugger and refuses to let go!

All-New Wolverine #8 (Marvel)
NickZ: A very fun story. I can’t wait to see Laura and Old Man Logan interact. The Fitz cameo was nice too!

Astro City #35 (Vertigo)
Martin: 4.5/5 stars. Busiek & the creative team continue to turn excellent “superhero” stories that feature real human emotion.

The Beauty #7 (Image)civil war 0
NickZ: I love how the series is exploring the broader world through random people’s experience with the disease.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer #27 (Dark Horse)
NickZ: D’Hoffryn is ruining everything! The gang is imploding! I can’t deal with this break-up!

Civil War II #0 (Marvel)
NickZ: I actually feel like this could be a really good event judging by this issue. I can’t wait to see what Bendis has in store for us and who he ends up killing this time!

Deadpool Last Days of Magic #1 (Marvel)
NickZ: It was so sad to see two fun characters go, but what a way to go!

Deadpool The Mercs for Money #4 (Marvel)
NickZ: Best use of a Wilhelm scream in a comic book…ever! Too funny!

Doctor Fate #12 (DC)
Martin: 3.5/5 stars. A decent wrap-up issue after the last few dragged a bit. A very fun cameo of a famous DC character from the past.

Invincible #128 (Image)
NickZ: Things went completely bananas! This issue had two big cliffhangers and some nice family bonding. I must say tho, that I find Terra to be very spoiled and kinda annoying.

Legend of Wonder Woman #4 (DC)invincible 128
Martin: 4.5/5 stars. There are a lot of WW stories lately, but this series is hands-down 1 of the best for art & story.

Mae #1 (Dark Horse)
Martin: 5/5 stars. My “comic of the week” – a fun all-ages fantasy adventure between two sisters. Fabulous, rich, engaging art & characters.

Martian Manhunter #12 (DC)
Martin: 3.5/5 stars. The finale to one of the best of the “DC You” relaunches from last year. Strong series, weaker ending.

Micronauts #2 (IDW)
Infinite Speech: Great nods to the original series while keeping things fresh and new!

Rai #13 (Valiant)
Infinite Speech: New to Rai? Well this is where you jump on board and enjoy the ride!

Spawn #263 (Image)
Infinite Speech: I’m going to take a break from this title for a while.

Superman American Alien #7 (DC)tank girl 1
NickZ: Max Landis has gotten to the core of what makes Superman great! Don’t miss this seven part character-defining series!
Martin: 4/5 stars. Another finale this week, to a really fun take on Superman. Landis gets Supes whereas “others” don’t

Superman/Wonder Woman #29 (DC)
Martin: 3/5 stars. Am I the only one confused by how this is all supposed to wrap up in just 1 more issue?

Tank Girl: Two Girls One Tank #1 (Titan)
Infinite Speech: Everything that makes Tank Girl hilarious is right here and perfect for new readers!

The Uncanny Avengers #9 (Marvel)
NickZ: This had the worst representation of Gambit that I’ve ever seen! I literally didn’t realize it was even him until Rogue called him by name.

Wonder Woman #52 (DC)
NickZ: This was a great series from start to finish! Meredith Finch did a fantastic job bringing her run to a satisfying conclusion!
