Chirpin’ Tuesday Reviews 01/14/15

Aliens vs Predator: Fire & Stone #4 (Dark Horse)
Infinite Speech:
It’s a bit of an open ending but a good one.

All-New Captain America #3 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech:
Sam gets a legit origin and I realized if it wasn’t for Redwing he’d have lost the shield by now. Still a damn good series!

Amazing X-Men #15 (Marvel)cyclops 9
Infinite Speech:
I’m a sucker for a good Juggernaut story

Astro City #19 (DC/Vertigo)
Arnab: I’m kinda starting to like Harper.
Martin:
4.5/5 stars. Spectacular matching of visuals & story while examining what happens to non-powered heroes who get older.

Batman Eternal #41 (DC)
Martin: 3.5/5 stars. Some great stuff here with the younger members of the “Bat Family” & two new-ish female characters.

Cyclops #9 (Marvel)
Arnab: I am loving Space Pirate Cyclops.

Deathlok #4 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech:
That was it? This needs to pick up before I drop it.

Earth 2 World’s End #15 (DC)
Martin: 3/5 stars. I really just don’t get the whole “Atom hollowed out earth” thing. The Parliament stuff is dragging.

Grayson #6 (DC)
Arnab: Zombie Orca! Midnighter checking out the best ass in the DCU! What more could you want?
Martin: 3.5/5 stars. This is a very well-illustrated series, but I’m just not sold on the entire premise yet.

Jupiter’s Legacy #5 (Image)star wars 1
Martin: 3.5/5 stars. If it weren’t for Quitely’s art, I would have stopped reading this long ago – 10 months since issue #4?!

Justice League United #8 (DC)
Martin: 3/5 stars. I really want to like this book. Visually this issue looks great. It’s just missing… “something.”

Lazarus #14 (Image)
Martin: 4.5/5 stars. Great character interaction & development, especially with Forever, and some awesome action scenes. Great as usual

New 52 Futures End #37 (DC)
Martin: 2.5/5 stars. Not sure why, but this has kind of turned into a bit of a mess. Needs more focus.

Rai #6 (Valiant)
Infinite Speech:
Not much happened but Crane’s artwork made it look fantastic!

Rat Queens: Braga #1 (Image)
Infinite Speech:
Wiebe and Fowler tell a great story about Braga that has a really nice twist!

Spider-Verse #2 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech:
A pretty decent anthology though it helps if you can read Spanish for one story.

Star Wars #1(Marvel)walking dead 138
Infinite Speech: When Vader shows up and ruins your escape it’s good to have a Wookie sniper around.
Martin: 4/5 stars. A great, fun look at what Star Wars can be when it doesn’t take itself so seriously but still has a great story.

Thanos vs Hulk #2 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech:
When this is over everyone should just beat the hell out of Pip.

Ten Grand #12 (Image)
Martin: 4/5 stars. While last issue was kind of an arc-end, this does it much more satisfyingly. Hard to see where the story will go.

The Walking Dead #138 (Image)
Arnab: Bad things are coming, I can just feel it.
