fzanca reviewed New Avengers #1 Jun 17, 2025
Wow, this issue is bad. The villains are clones of the Illuminati. I'm so tired of team books having equally matched teams thrown at them. At least with Space Ghost, we were introduced to each member, and then they teamed up for the finale. That's how you write a story. This is just lazy. Members on the cover aren't even in the book. Why is Carnage a member of the Avengers? That makes zero sense. more

fzanca reviewed The Last Boy #4 Jul 29, 2025
I really like Wendy's story. I think Panosian does a good job with her, but with Peter it's another story altogether. This issue at least feels a bit more like Peter, but then he goes up against the boss with no plan. Not sure what Panosian is thinking by taking Peter's hand. There was foreshadowing of this when Smee was talking about Hook. This has just not been a good series overall.

fzanca reviewed Star Wars: Doctor Aphra - Chaos Agent #2 Jul 29, 2025
I like the banter between Luke and Aphra, but Chen isn't telling us a cohesive story. It's literally about them going to bars, getting information, and then finding an artifact that has zero consequence to the story. It's fun to read the interaction between Luke and Aphra, but I don't know if that's enough. I thought we might get some tomb raiding since she is a derivative character. Next issue gi more

fzanca reviewed Void Rivals #21 Jul 29, 2025
We finally get some story progression. I wonder how far Kirkman is going to take this story. This book is purely story-driven and not character-driven. I'm already bored with it. Only three more issues, and we will be reading about this battle for two years. Shizoid does not need to be in here. It just muddles up the plot for no reason. We finally get a battle in the next issue. Let's see what hap more

A good start to a new story. Joshua Williams is hitting on all cylinders with the Legion of Darkseid. Dan Mora art is amazing. He draws Superman like no one else. I'm hoping we find out more about Time Trapper, and the reveal of Superboy Prime should lead into some good stuff.

fzanca reviewed Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #10 Jul 29, 2025
This was a great escalation of the battle between Moon Knight and Fairchild. Some people don't like that this has become a team book, but I do. Moon Knight is still the leader. I love Tigra as a character, and I'm glad she's being used on this team. I absolutely love the scene where Moon Knight confronts Fairchild with the sword, and Fairchild runs away. That was classic.

This was a pretty good issue that pushed the story forward. We finally get to see the reason for the Sorrow Lantern, and I was pretty happy with the outcome. We see the introduction of the Aya android from the animated series. I really like the interactions between Carol and Hal. I wish there were more of it. Using Kyle's ability to light the lanterns was a good idea. I wish we saw more of Amethys more

fzanca reviewed Exquisite Corpses #3 Jul 29, 2025
I'm very confused by this story. Even Hunger Games had a main character. Here, it might as well be an anthology. In this issue, we have the story of Nurse Pete, who is a very bad boy. We haven't seen the soldier guy since issue #1. I thought he was going to be the main character, but he's been completely forgotten about. I'm not really liking how this story is being told.

fzanca reviewed Emma Frost: The White Queen #2 Jul 29, 2025
I'm really enjoying this series. The idea of putting this story back in the time of teh 1960s and 1970s where Emma was still part of the Hellfire Club was a good idea. The appearance of the X-Men in first issue was great. I like all of the backstabbing going on and the little cage battle where she shows her prowess with the rapier. Looking foward to seeing where this goes.

fzanca reviewed Absolute Wonder Woman #10 Jul 29, 2025
Though I am not a fan of Hayden Sherman's art, which I believes drags down the quality of the is book, but I do think Thompson has found her niche. She's doing a good job with this version of Diana. I also like her bringing back Ferdinand. I wish I knew how these mer-creatures can live in this maze. Is the female leader the Amazonian Diana is looking for? Someone let me know.

fzanca reviewed Predator Vs. Spider-Man #4 Jul 25, 2025
This ended up being Kraven's story, and I'm okay with that. I think it should have been at least one issue longer. It felt tied up almost too fast. The story of Predators tracking down a rogue Predator is an interesting idea, but I wish there was a little more to it. I wonder if the general continuity will have Kraven now off-world hunting alongside his Predator buddy.

fzanca reviewed Titans #25 Jul 25, 2025
This issue should have been much better. It was extremely sloppy and disjointed. Clock King having mental powers still doesn't sit well with me. Killer Frost should be evil. It was the Flash TV show that changed that for some reason. Then we find out that she was being mind-controlled by Clock King. What? Then Shimmer shows up for some reason through a boom tube. And the cyborg - Valania, or whate more

fzanca reviewed Star Wars #3 Jul 25, 2025
I was really looking forward to this team-up. Solo, Lando, and Valance - come on. That's a recipe for adventure, yet Segura gives us none. This issue was just plain awful. He really gets Dick Tracy, but when it comes to Star Wars, he's absolutely clueless. Half of this issue is a flashback about a character I don't care about. And what's with calling the assassin "they"? I thought we were through more

fzanca reviewed Space Ghost / Jonny Quest: Space Quest #2 Jul 25, 2025
I'm really enjoying this. I know a few people dislike the art, but I have seen much worse. I really like the idea that Space Ghost and team don't speak English. Jan and Jayce are protecting Dr. Quest and I especially like Race having his date based with conflicts and espionage. I hope to see more of those two. This is a very odd crossover, but I feel that it's working.

fzanca reviewed Geiger #16 Jul 25, 2025
Another solid issue, however, it's very obvious that this is a bridge issue to create a new through-line. I really enjoyed the last storyline. The absence of Gary Frank's art was felt, and the action here is completely random and used to set up the ending. Junkyard Joe is still in pieces, so let's see what happens with him. I really enjoy reading about this world and I hope to see Arden again soon more

fzanca reviewed Zatanna #6 Jul 25, 2025
Very few artists can craft a good story to the levels of John Byrne and some shouldn't attempt to write at all. This comes in the form of the latter in my opinion. The writing here is incredibly poor. However, it is surrounded by pretty pictures, which is the only reason I purchased these six issues. Once bitten twice shy, however. If I see Campbell's name as writer in the future, I probably will more

fzanca reviewed Amazing Spider-Man #1 Apr 10, 2025
I haven't collected Spider-man in years, and now I know why. This is nowhere close to the Spider-man of the 1990s with Blackcat, Silvermane, and Hobgoblin. We have to see pages upon pages of Peter going out for interviews and going out on dates and then he leaves the interview to fight the Rhino when he could have made about any excuse. It felt so forced. Then we get a back up story for no reason more

You do remember that the 90's isn't remembered very fondly by most fans right? And that Hobgoblin was in the 80's? For being a comic Boomer you seem to have a poor recollection of old comics. Not to say that there weren't good stories back then but comparing the 90's to now and holding the 90's above is a weird take.
Thank you for the slap across the face. It's much appreciated and I hope it made you feel better.
fzanca reviewed G.I. Joe #9 Jul 20, 2025
Another fun issue. Baroness teamed with Cover Girl is a good dynamic. I'm not sure who this Raptor guy is, but the entrance of Major Bludd was cool. I'm waiting for the Clutch/Hound story to develop. Great action and character development, which is going to make Baroness' turn to Cobra that much more dramatic.

There was nothing to this issue. Especially for a premiere issue. There's no story here. The main character is a trope. And if they said "Destroy the Weapon. Return Home" one more time, I was going to toss the book. It did not hook me and I won't be continuing despite the good artwork.

I was on board with 6 to 8 issues of this, now it looks like it's cntinuing. If that's the case, i'm jumping off next issue. This story is not a 12-issue story. It feels incredibly drawn out already.

Thank God Johnson saw the writing on the world. If he didn't close it up next issue, I was going to drop the title. I'm so tired of Momento.

This is a lead-up to the next issue, which I read out of order. The FF is stuck in the negative zone. It was interesting to see that they insinuated that Reed and Sue had sex. They go to a village that uses Middle Eastern apparel. The ruler is actually an alien collecting brain waves to power his ship and he needs Reed to complete the process. Good Stuff.

I relly loved this issue. Ben is brainwashed by a woman with mind control because of her makeup. Okay, that's pretty silly, but that leads into a battle between Thing and Sue. I've never seen them fight before and I thought this was handled really well. Sue couldn't win and kept trying to run away until she could figure out was was affeting Ben. Really good stuff.

I'm sorry this is over so quickly. We get an amazing battle here, and the artist/writer even paid off the effects of the ring. It ties up extremely nicely, but I do feel that it would have been better with a six-issue. It feels like it just started, and I just got to know these characters. I hope there's more stories with Solomon.
