Chirpin’ Tuesday Reviews 11/18/15

Action Comics #46 (DC)
Martin: 4/5 stars. I’m pretty much over powerless Superman but Greg Pak continues to handle the subject well in this issue.

Astro City #29 (Vertigo)
Martin: 4.5/5 stars. I didn’t know what to expect w/ this new arc, but it certainly wasn’t this. Fantastic, thoughtful story-telling

Batman & Robin Eternal #7 (DC)
Arnab: I’m never going to be over how badly DC screwed with Tim and Dick’s relationship.
Martin: 4/5 stars. It’s been a bit inconsistent, but the latest issue has a lot of great moments for the various Robins.

Batman: Europa #1 (DC)
Martin: 4/5 stars. The art in this is incredible and it’s got a strong premise. It’s fun to see Batman in a different setting.

Bizarro #6 (DC)huck 1
Martin: 4.5/5 stars. The entire creative team deliver a stand-out finale to this fun, goofy, Silver Age homage. Hoping for a sequel.

Bloodshot Reborn #8 (Valiant)
Infinite Speech: Lemire is giving us the Bloodshot we deserve in another hit from Valiant!

Captain America: Sam Wilson #3 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: Loving the chemistry between Misty and Sam and the jokes were pretty good too!

Doctor Fate #6 (DC)
Martin: 3/5 stars. I’ve liked this series so far, but this issue is very oddly structured w/ a sort of “ho-hum” cliffhanger ending.

Extraordinary X-Men #2 (Marvel)
Arnab: Cyclops being dead is the most ridiculous plot direction.
Infinite Speech: Didn’t realize Nightcrawler had no tail and when Sinister shows up you know things are going to be bad for the X-Men.

Huck #1 (Image)
Arnab: I didn’t know what to expect going in, but that was fantastic.
Infinite Speech: Miller and Albequerque knock this one out the park! I’m sure Huck would find it though!
Martin: 4.5/5 stars. Fantastic art, & after 1 issue I’m really liking Millar’s answer to Snyder’s terrible “Man of Steel” movie.

I Hate Fairyland #2 (Image)
Infinite Speech: It’s hilarious and demented fun that everyone should be enjoying!

Jem & the Holograms #9 (IDW)jem
Infinite Speech: This title pretty much snuck up on me and now it’s one of my favorites every month!

Martian Manhunter #6 (DC)
Martin: 4/5 stars. So far, this series has been an excellent example of how to properly pace a story with anticipation & dread

Mighty Thor #1 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: So good to have Aaron and Dauterman back

New Avengers #2 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: I’m trying to like this because of the team roster but it’s not happening. Might give it another issue or two before a final decision.

Onyx #3 (IDW)
Infinite Speech: Ryall and Rodriguez deliver the goods in this kick-ass sci-fi title!

Tokyo Ghost #3 (Image)
Infinite Speech: More character development that looks great but it would be nice to get a little action.

Wayward #11 (Image)
Infinite Speech: This is one of the best titles in the industry today!

Wrath of the Eternal Warrior #1 (Valiant)
Infinite Speech: We see what happens when Gilad “dies” and it looks like he’s still got an axe to grind!
