Chirpin’ Tuesday Reviews 08/13/14

all new xmen 30All-New X-Men #30 (Marvel)
Arnab: I really hope this is the end of the Jean/Emma feud.
Infinite Speech: Quite possibly the BEST issue in this series to date!
Jeff: This issue includes all the elements that make the X-Men wonderful.

Amazing Spider-Man #5 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: Anna Maria makes every issue of this comic THAT much better.
Jeff: JJJ is back to bashing Spidey! I love it.

Amazing X-Men #10 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: This is why people go Vegan in Canada.
Jeff: Kyle & Yost are writing Rockslide again. Things are as it should be.

Archer & Armstrong #23 (Valiant)
Infinite Speech: A T-Rex eating a guy just makes this great comic even better!
Jeff: This story kinda lost me at the end. But the art is fantastic.

Armor Hunters #3 (Valiant)
Infinite Speech: The deception was sly but the aftermath was BRUTAL! Another great issue in this event you should be reading.

Astro City #14 (Vertigo)
Martin: 4.5/5 stars. Introduces a new character, Ellie, who became a favorite already. 1 of the books “supers” books being published

Avengers Undercover #8 (Marvel)
Jeff: The art in this issue really hurt a possibly intriguing story.

Avengers World #11 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: A decent issue that hints at something larger on the horizon for the Avengers.

Batgirl #34 (DC)
Arnab: Gail Simone leaves Batgirl on a high note.
Martin: 4/5 stars. Gail Simone’s run on Batgirl ends in a bit of a rushed fashion. The Obscura plotline seems ripe for more.

Batman #34 (DC)
Jeff: Matteo Scalera would be a great fit on this book long-term.
Martin: 4/5 stars. It’s refreshing to read a one-shot story rather than a long arc, and Matteo Scalera’s art is a fun change of pace.

Captain America #23 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: The fight in the beginning was UNNECESSARY but the rest of the issue picked up.

Death Vigil #2 (Top Cow)
Infinite Speech: Stjepan Sejic continues to write as well as he draws and I can’t wait for more!

Fantastic Four #8 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: Meh

Hulk #5 (Marvel)
Jeff: There’s something sociopathic about this version of the Hulk. I like it.

Inhuman #3 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: All of these hints that something larger is coming is fantastically annoying! lol
Jeff: Marvel is certainly raising the Inhumans to be the new “mutants” of the Marvel Universe.

Justice League United #4 (DC)
Martin: 4/5 stars. I like that this book knows how to have fun & not be so dark. Supergirl’s inclusion is a bit off though

original sin 7Original Sin #7 (Marvel)
Arnab: What the hell did he whisper to Thor?
Infinite Speech: So it begins! Nick Fury took out Thor. Nuff said.
Jeff: What? So HE shot the Watcher? That wasn’t much of a mystery.

Rachel Rising #27 (Abstract Studios)
Jeff: The plot thickens as new characters are introduced and Zoe kills a random dude.

Rise of the Magi #3 (Top Cow)
Infinite Speech: Read this series and enjoy the magic!

Skullkickers #30 (Image)
Infinite Speech: How can you not be reading this! Love the Street Fighter homage cover as well!

Spider-Man 2099 #2 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: Enjoying this but can we speed things up a bit.

Superman/Wonder Woman #11 (DC)
Martin: 3/5 stars. I have really liked Soule’s work on this title, but I think I’m just done with the “Doomed’ event.

teenage mutant ninja turtles 37Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #37 (IDW)
Arnab: This whole series is perfection. It’s the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles you always wanted and deserved.
Infinite Speech: This title is a must have every single issue! Shredder is NOT to be underestimated!

The Walking Dead #130 (Image)
Arnab: Those zombies were not talking.
Jeff: They better not make the zombies talk in this book.

X #16 (Dark Horse)
Infinite Speech: WTF??!!

X-Men #18 (Marvel)
Arnab: I’m still waiting for the day Rachel annihilates the Shi’Ar.
Jeff: A much-needed new writer, but the art needs some work.
