Chirpin’ Tuesday Reviews 11/02/16

Animosity #3 (AfterShock)
Infinite Speech: This just keeps getting better and better with each issue!

Aquaman #10 (DC)
Infinite Speech: Those damn prophecies just keep screwing up relationships. Hope Mera has a backup plan.

Avengers #1 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: So hyped to see Mike Del Mundo on another monthly title and it’s going to get crazy in a good way!

Batman #10 (DC)
Arnab: I feel like this could have just used a couple moments at the beginning to set up why Batman was acting so weird.
Infinite Speech: Soooo a long letter from Catwoman and nothing really happens here. Such a letdown after last issue.
Martin: 3.5/5 stars. Visually, this issue looks great. Unfortunately the story and Batman’s characterization are a bit off.
NickZ: I didn’t get why Batman was acting so strangely and when did Selina find out Bruce Wayne is Batman again? Forever Evil?

Big Trouble In Little China / Escape From New York #2 (BOOM!)
Infinite Speech: This is the stuff of dreams!

Bitch Planet #9 (Image)
Infinite Speech: Between the great story and the genuinely real back matter we get the closest thing to a perfect issue right here!

Catwoman Election Night #1 (DC)champions-2
NickZ: When a comic book election featuring Penguin and Catwoman is less insane than our actual one.

Champions #2 (Marvel)
Arnab: OMG! So freaking good! Reminds me of the good old days of the Young Avengers.
Infinite Speech: This is what’s been missing from Marvel for a long time and I’m glad it’s finally here!
NickZ: This is currently the best Marvel book on the shelves! I absolutely love it, already!

Cyborg #4 (DC)
Martin: 3/5 stars. Cyborg is an interesting character but so far this series hasn’t been able to create an intriguing plot line.

Deadly Class #23 (Image)
NickZ: Deadly Class wins again with the best D&D game and teen conversations ever. Remender and Craig are killing it.

Deadpool & the Mercs for Money #5 (Marvel)
NickZ: This ragtag group is more dysfunctional than the first MFM and most of these guys are HEROES!

Death of Hawkman #2 (DC)
Martin: 4/5 stars. An improvement over 1st issue in that this actually focuses on Hawkman. The Adam Strange scenes are good too

Death of X #3 (Marvel)
Arnab: Watching this story unfold is like witnessing a car crash in slow motion.
Infinite Speech: Should be retitled “Death of Interest”. Skip this and pick up something else.
NickZ: This is definitely in the top 5 worst written comics that I have ever read.

Eden’s Fall #3 (Image)
Infinite Speech: The aftermath of all this is going to be crazy in The Tithe! This is a crossover done right so take note!
NickZ: After reading this book, The Tithe needs to return so we know what happens now.

faith-5Faith #5 (Valiant)
NickZ: I loved that this issue had (soon to be President-Elect) Hillary Clinton in it! Her presence feels so right for this book.

Green Arrow #10 (DC)
Martin: 4.5/5 stars. Ollie and Dinah together again has really helped this series shine, but the art is also fantastic.

Green Lanterns #10 (DC)
Martin: 4/5 stars. It’s nice to have a new villain added to the GL mythos, but the star continues to be how Jess & Baz interact

Justice League #8 (DC)
Martin: 4/5 stars. So far, I’m liking this story arc better than the 1st one – lots of great scenes with Cyborg, Batman & Alfred.
NickZ: The Justice League was just beaten by a computer virus. No, seriously!

Moon Knight #8 (Marvel)
NickZ: I’ve never been on an acid trip but I suspect it feels like reading this book, hopefully we’ve reach a break though.

Motor Girl #1 (Abstract)
Infinite Speech: Terry Moore can do no wrong. Seriously. None. And now I cant wait to see what journey he takes Sam on!

Nightwing #8 (DC)
Arnab: This book is a beautiful continuation of Grayson.
NickZ: Who knew Nightwing’s mom was such a rebel? Also, that last line in this book is the best compliment you can get from Batman.

Occupy Avengers #1 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: I’m not a fan of Hawkeye but damn this was a very solid issue and I’m eager to see what’s next.
NickZ: Hawkeye fans cannot miss this book, it’s really good!

Revolution #4 (IDW)
Infinite Speech: It’s getting crazy here and it’s so much fun!

ROM #4 (IDW)superman-10
Infinite Speech: The creative team has reintroduced ROM to a new generation of comic fans in a fantastic new series!

Superman #10 (DC)
Martin: 4/5 stars. Man, Damian is such a complete jack-ass. But, watching him interact with his father, Jon & Superman is lots of fun.
NickZ: The meeting between Jon and Damian is better than I could have hoped! Tomasi and Gleason are spinning gold with every issue!

Unworthy Thor #1 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: Odinson is at his lowest point and things couldn’t be better!

The Walking Dead #160 (Image)
Arnab: It’s on like Donkey Kong!! WAAAAAR!
NickZ: The Whisperer War is on and cracking now! Maggie’s words about Glenn were especially poignant considering what’s going on in the TV show.

The Woods #27 (Boom!)
NickZ: The scene between the two moms was heartbreaking. I’m so excited that we are finally getting some answers!
