Chirpin’ Tuesday Reviews 05/11/16

4001 A.D.: X-O Manowar #1 (Valiant)
Infinite Speech: Father let the world know that he is NOT to be taken lightly! Great prelude to 4001 A.D.!

Action Comics #52 (DC)adventure time 52
Martin: 3/5 stars. There’s a lot to like but the key moment of New 52 Superman meeting pre-Flashpoint Superman got a little lost.

Adventure Time #52 (Boom!)
NickZ: Jake has to go it alone sans his stretchy powers in a world of…ghosts!

All-New, All-Different Avengers #9 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: Looks like the Pym family just got a little bigger.

All-New X-Men #9 (Marvel)
Arnab: Baby Apocalypse lives a pretty sad life. At the same time, I could do without the time travel story.
NickZ: Interesting look into Evan’s life. You kinda feel bad for the little guy.

Batman #52 (DC)
Arnab: It’s weird to consider this a finale, and even more incorrect to consider it a beginning. Nevertheless, it was a nice Bruce and Alfred story.
Martin: 4/5 stars. “Batman Finale, Part 2.” Feels a little odd after Snyder & Capullo’s end in #51, but it’s a decent story on its own.
NickZ: I really enjoyed what they added to Batman’s beginnings. The fact that they tied Alfred and Leslie Thompkins into it as well was a nice touch.
Infinite Speech: Nice way to close out the series before it starts over…again.

Batman Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #6 (DC)grizzly shark 2
Arnab: Honestly, this whole mini series was fantastic. Superb fun.
NickZ: This was all in all a fun little crossover even if the ending was a bit rushed.
Infinite Speech: I’m going to need some more of this in about a year or so because it was fantastic! #TurtlePower

Black Panther #2 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: Better than last issue and I love how layered the story is and how great it looks! Thumbs up to Coates and Stelfreeze!

Catwoman #52 (DC)
NickZ: I like that they tied Selina’s past in with Black Mask, seems fitting.

Darth Vader #20 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: Gillen brings out everything that makes Vader cool and enhances it! Oh, and treat your droids well because you never know when they’ll become self aware.

Deadpool #11 (Marvel)
Arnab: Wait, so when did Sabertooth decide to be good? Are there no self respecting mutant villains anymore? Oh right, Cyclops is the only villain -_- #getanewvillainMarvelwriters
NickZ: A surprising amount of character development for Deadpool and Sabretooth in this one. Also, Deadpool calls Magneto “Gandalf”!

Gotham Academy #18 (DC)
NickZ: Okay, I’m totes shipping Maps and Damian now!

Grizzly Shark #2 (Image)
NickZ: Son of a dammit! This book was ridiculously hilarious! Syfy needs to jump on making this into one of their terrible TV movies already!

Ninjak #15 (Valiant)
Infinite Speech: Roku is killing everything right now and that’s not a euphemism! Kindt just keeps making things worse for Ninjak and it’s great!

Red Hood Arsenal #12 (DC)
Arnab: That live or die cartoon thing is so cute.
NickZ: I think people would actually vote for Arsenal to die in real life too.

Southern Bastards #14 (Image)
Infinite Speech: The wait for Roberta was worth it! Latour and Aaron just keep delivering one of the best comics on the shelf right now!

Starfire #12 (DC)uncanny inhumans 8
Martin: 4/5 stars. A typical “wrap-up” issue that sets the stages for Kori’s return in Rebirth. The fun art style raises the score.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #57
Infinite Speech: I didn’t want to feel sorry for Leatherhead! At least the ninja action kicks in next issue!.

Think Tank Creative Destruction #2 (Top Cow)
NickZ: The most intelligent, hilarious, and realistically frightening comic! A must read!
Infinite Speech: If there wasn’t humor scattered in here I’d be more scared after reading Think Tank and it’s not even a horror title!

The Ultimates #7 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: Black Panther & Blue Marvel going at it was just great then Thanos shows up and things get bloody!

The Uncanny Inhumans #8 (Marvel)
NickZ: We finally get to experience the Medusa/Human Torch love story. #Keepingitinthefamily
