Chirpin’ Tuesday Reviews 08/26/15

Book of Death: The Fall of Ninjak #1 (Valiant)
Infinite Speech: Wow! Matt Kindt and Trevor Hairsine craft one of the best endings for a character that I hope we don’t see for a long time!

Civil War #3 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: T’Challa’s alive! Yes! Oh and that Kingpin/Doc Ock combo was something you won’t see coming!

Crimson Vol 1 HC (BOOM!)
Infinite Speech: This was one of my favorite non big two books from the 90s and it still stands as one of the best from that era!

Cyborg #2 (DC)
Infinite Speech: Walker is delivering a Cyborg that’s worth reading and Reis is making it all look great.
Martin: 3.5/5 stars. More internal dialogue so we learn more about Vic, & some progress on the overall story. A faster pace would be good

Arnab: This book keeps getting better and better. Seriously.
Martin: 4/5 stars. I really dig the designs of the PRA Widowmakers & the Endless Nation’s tech. More of Doma is a good thing.

Flash #43 (DC)
Martin: 3/5 stars. Mainly a prolonged exploration of family (Barry & his Dad mostly). Needs to be read w/ Flash Annual #4 for full effect

Gotham by Midnight #8 (DC)
Martin: 3.5/5 stars. This is sadly starting to turn into a “Buffy”-style “Monster of the Week” format.

Justice League of America #3 (DC)
Martin: 3.5/5 stars. Hitch’s art brings the score of this up, but the story’s starting to drag a bit. Infinity Corp’s barely in this anymore

Lando #3 (Marvel)
Infinite Speech: This story just gets better with every issue which is good because that first one was a little dicey.

Mulan #3 (Dark Horse)
Infinite Speech: This series has been unexpected greatness!

Ninjak #6 (Valiant)
Infinite Speech: So, can Matt Kindt just write Ninjak forever? I didn’t think this character could get any better but Valiant is determined to prove us wrong issue after issue!

Spawn #255 (Image)spawn 255
Infinite Speech: When will Hell and Heaven learn to STOP PISSING OFF SPAWN?!

Superman #43 (DC)
Martin: 3/5 stars. Been waiting for this to explain why Lois outed Clark, but it happened so fast it’s a bit of a letdown.

The Tithe Vol 1 (Top Cow)
Infinite Speech: A great series in single issues and even better when collected! Check it out if you enjoy heist stories w/ great art and writing!

We Are Robin #3 (DC)
Arnab: Why are there so many characters. Introduce them later on.
Infinite Speech: There were so many people to get to know at once but that “problem” has been lessened by one after this issue. Read this series!
Martin: 4/5 stars. Visually this looks great, & the story is compelling (more so this issue). There are just too many characters.

Zodiac Starforce #1 (Dark Horse)
Infinite Speech: All of this was just fun so give it a look for yourself because all of the hype was worth it!
