Chirpin’ Tuesday Reviews 02/17/16

Astro City #32 (Vertigo)
Martin: 4.5/5 stars. Astro City is a world that it feels “lived in” w/ lots of history. This start to a new arc is a perfect example

Batman & Robin Eternal #20 (DC)
Arnab: It finally feels like everything is starting to come together.
Martin: 3/5 stars. The art of this series hasn’t been a strong suit, but storywise it finally feels we’re near the end.

Infinite Speech: You’re doing yourself a disservice if this is not on your pull list!

Doctor Fate #9 (DC)
Martin: 3.5/5 stars. A one-off story installement with typically good Sonny Liew art (which has been a strength of the title).

Dusu: Path of the Ancient #1 (Stranger Comics)
Infinite Speech: You want something new? Here it is in Dusu! A new world is opening up and you should get in on the ground floor now!

Extraordinary X-Men #7 (Marvel)
Arnab: Humans are hunting and killing mutants, as usual, but somehow Cyclops is still the bad guy, #wtfmarvel get new editors.

Huck #4 (Image)
Martin: 4/5 stars. I love Albuquerque’s art & McCaig’s coloring. They work well toward helping propel this more fast-paced installment.

Imperium #13 (Valiant)
Infinite Speech: Holy $#&! I didn’t know how much I missed Dysart on this and Livewire is one of the top Valiant characters hands down!

Martian Manhunter #9 (DC)
Martin: 4/5 stars. A bit confusing to follow, but that’s actually good as it matches perfectly what’s happening to J’onn.

Mighty Thor #4 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: Aaron & Dauterman’s time on Thor is some of the best and I can’t for Freyja to step to Odin again!

Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death #2 (DC)powerman and ironfist 1
Infinite Speech: We’re going to need more Poison Ivy stories from Amy Chu when this is over.

Power Man and Iron Fist #1 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: Walker & Greene have brought Marvel’s best duo back in a major way! Sweet Christmas!

Rachel Rising #40 (Abstract Studios)
Infinite Speech: This is one of very few comic series that deserves to be called “perfect”.

Robin: Son of Batman #9 (DC)
Arnab: That last page was so great. Damian’s pet collection is one of my favorite things to happen in DC over the last ten years.

Superman: American Alien #4 (DC)
Martin: 4/5 stars. It took me a moment to recognize Jae Lee’s interior art – a slight shift in style that works well.

Symmetry #3 (Top Cow)
Infinite Speech: Hawkins and Ienko give you plenty to think about in another great issue.

Tithe #8 (Top Cow)
Infinite Speech: I highly recommend this series if you like being put on the edge of your seat…then kicked off! Get it!
