Chirpin’ Tuesday Reviews 02/26/24

Artifacts #35 (Top Cow)
Infinite Speech:
Hannibal Tabu was the Talent Hunt winner and does justice to the series as these two rivals go at it again!

Batman/Superman #8 (DC)
Arnab: Jae Lee is positively terrific.
Martin: I’d given up on this, but this story is a return to the 1st story arc, style-wise, & begins a fun new arc.

Black Science #4 (Image)
Jeff Lake: Remender’s characterization is amazing and Scalera’s art…so good. Also, Kadir is a real sumbitch.
Martin: Each issue just gets better & weirder than the last. Big things happen as the first story arc closes out.

Cataclysm: The Ultimates’ Last Stand #5 (Marvel)
Jeff: A giant Kitty Pryde punches Galactus. That’s pretty awesome.

Arnab: Toni!!! This book makes me happy without needing hallucinogenic drugs.
Jeff: That was…trippy.

DC Universe vs Masters of the Universe #4 (DC)
Infinite Speech:
Seriously more fun than half the stuff DC is putting out right now so pick it up!

Dead Body Road #3 (Image)
Arnab:
Mateo Scalera is absolutely fantastic in this book.
Jeff Lake: This book is a bit slow, but never fails to excite. Did I mention I love Matteo Scalera’s art? Cuz I do.

Deadly Class #2 (Image)

Jeff Lake: Even assassin school has cliques; this book is awesome and you should hop on now if you haven’t already.

Fantastic Four #1 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: Didn’t expect much from this re-re launch but it ended up being one of the better comics of the week!
Jeff: It’s really kinda sad that Marvel can’t seem to come up with anything interesting for the Fantastic Four.

Five Weapons #7 (Image)
Infinite Speech: Great story and solid artwork strike again in Five Weapons!

Flash #28 (DC)
Martin: Some really great stuff here but probably should’ve been spread across 2 issues. Too much explanatory dialogue.

Forever Evil: A.R.G.U.S. #5 (DC)
Martin: There’s a lot of potential & some interesting characterization, but the ending is going to be rushed.

Ghostbusters #13 (IDW)
Infinite Speech: YES!! Can’t wait to see what happens when the GB’s first client needs their help again!

gotg 12Guardians of the Galaxy #12 (Marvel)
Arnab: Awww, Cyclops and Corsair. Scott and Laura really should just make it official.
Infinite Speech: So, yeah…that was touching and kick ass at the same time.
Jeff: My God, Sara Pichelli.

Indestructible Hulk #19 (Marvel)
Jeff: Yep, I’m done with this.

Justice League Dark #28 (DC)
Martin: Constantine’s finding of his team & its inevitable rescue is taking way too long. I miss Janin on art.

Lois Lane #1 (DC)
Dr. Bustos: Wish she’d get an ongoing.

Manhattan Projects #18 (Image)
Dr. Bustos: I really liked that blue guy.

Mighty Avengers #7 (Marvel)
Dr. Bustos: I’m liking this story arc much more than the first one and that one was pretty alright to begin with.
Infinite Speech: Another of Marvel’s stronger titles that gets lost in the shuffle and the art change is very welcome!

One Hit Wonder #1 (Image)

Jeff Lake: Just…No. Get any of the other titles on this list instead. Seriously, any.

Rat Queens #5 (Image)
Infinite Speech: HOLY HOT DAMN!! That was an intense issue!!
Jeff Lake: I love this series. Each issue has action, character development, plot progression and debauchery. Basically, all you want in a comic.

Robotech/Voltron #2 (Dynamite)
Infinite Speech: This issue was like Minmei. You start off liking it but as time goes on you just want it to go away.

Samurai Jack #5 (IDW)
Infinite Speech: There is NO WAY you shouldn’t be reading this series!

Secret Avengers #16 (Marvel)
Jeff: A fantastic conclusion to this run.

Serenity: Leaves on the Wind #2 (Dark Horse)
Infinite Speech: The heart and spirit of the show is right here in this comic!

Superior Spider-Man #28 (Marvel)
Dr. Bustos: Oh dear, things are looking really bad for Otto and especially Anna Maria.
Infinite Speech: This issue should have been called Superior Mary Jane Watson!
Jeff: I’m sorry, but Camuncoli is ruining this for me.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #31 (IDW)
Arnab: This continues to be one of the greatest things ever.
Infinite Speech: I can’t get over how fantastic this series has been and it’s only getting better!
Jeff: The design of that hawk-dude is really awesome.

Tomb Raider #1 (Dark Horse)
Infinite Speech: Lara Croft couldn’t be in more capable hands than with Gail Simone! This is a solid follow up to the video game you should check out!

Uncanny Avengers #17 (Marvel)
Jeff: So…um…did the Earth just blow up in the Marvel Universe?

the wake 6The Wake #6 (Vertigo)
Arnab: Damn that’s some good comic book shit right here. They better not hurt Dash, though.
Jeff: A great new direction for this series. I can’t wait to see how Snyder and Murphy pull it together.
Jeff Lake: Monsters! Dolphins! Hang Gliding! I don’t know where Snyder/Murphy are going, but man they’re having fun.

The Walking Dead #122 (Image)
Jeff: This storyline could have been about 3 or 4 issues shorter.

Wolverine #2 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: This issue is like that hot girl at the party. Looks great but nothing else going on of any substance.

Wolverine & the X-Men #42 (Marvel)
Dr. Bustos: I really liked this series, I hope the next one is good too. Good ending.
Infinite Speech: So in about 15 yrs Wolverine will be known as REALLY Old Man Logan? Get it right next time with the future stories guys.
Jeff: It’s about time the New X-Men graduated.

Worlds’ Finest #20 (DC)
Martin: Some interesting parts tying old plot-threads together, but some things that should be mentioned aren’t.
