fzanca reviewed Punisher: Red Band #1 Sep 23, 2025
It's good to see Frank back again and for Marvel to get its head out of its ass regarding the use of the logo. Get over it, guys. I wasn't much of a fan of the artwork. Everything is overblown. Kingpin looks ginormous, and so does Frank. It starts with a bang, and then the Kingpin unveils a twist. It's a good start. Let's see if Percy can keep it up.

fzanca reviewed Titans #27 Sep 23, 2025
I'm just not a Beast Boy fan, and this issue is all about him. The Zookeeper looks cool, but it's all taken out pretty quickly with Cyborg and Robot Man side-lined and giving pep talks. Of course, we get back to the tunnels, where Gar refused to chip in, to find the beginning of DC KO. I'm really hoping this event will be good.

fzanca reviewed Star Wars: Jedi Knights #7 Sep 23, 2025
This is all about the side mission. Mace and Aayla have to get an antidote for Qui-Gon, but to do that, they have to visit a planet run by space ninjas. (Space ninjas? Really) They don't like Jedi, and they are forced to surrender and do another side mission for the leader to get the antidote, but Qui-Gon's fate is uncertain. This is incredibly stupid, as we know exactly what happens to Qui-Gon. T more

fzanca reviewed Star Wars #5 Sep 23, 2025
After reading Dick Tracy, it just shocks me that Alex Segura just doesn't get Star Wars. This one at least has some action in it. I can't understand how everyone besides Luke isn't dead. There's just no rhyme or reason to this story. It's simply all over the place with no direction. I gave it until issue 5 to do something, and apparently Segura is taking this "story" beyond issue six, which is per more

fzanca reviewed Space Ghost: Vol. 2 #2 Sep 23, 2025
My favorite comic out right now. We are introduced to the Catwoman of the SG universe. There were a few twists in this issue. Eclipse Woman (a bad name btw) is far from the biggest threat in this issue. Against all odds, she makes a sacrifice to save everyone. She's going to have to steal more tech from somewhere else now.

fzanca reviewed G.I. Joe #11 Sep 23, 2025
A good conclusion to this mini-story, but I would have expected Baroness to get her parents moved in case they get targeted again. I don't understand Bludd getting blinded. I guess we will see what Williamson has in store for him. I'm still not a fan of the art style for this book. I did like the stuff with Hound and Risk. Looking forward to the next issue.

fzanca reviewed Dick Tracy #12 Sep 23, 2025
Another good issue by Segura. He may not be able to write Star Wars, but he can write a good Dick Tracy yarn. After the fallout of his partner being shot (which was pretty shocking), DIck tries to connect the dots between the Manlisses and his fallen war buddy. Not sure how the twins fit into it all, but it looks like he and Tess are taking a trip.

As the mystery around Dick Tracy's old war buddy deepens, and the chaotic crime queens known as the Summers Sisters continue their onslaught on the City, the Detective in Yellow makes a fateful realization that will take him - and Tess - out of their comfort zone, and into the clutches of an even deadlier foe!
fzanca reviewed Conan The Barbarian #24 Sep 23, 2025
This is really great, except for one thing. It ends, but it doesn't wrap up the story. Bast is still searching for Conan and what happened with Tath-Amon. I did like that he brought back the serpent knife from another storyline that really didn't end either. I am loking forward to these characters coming back.

What they find on this journey will make their blood run cold and set the stage for a conflict beyond their wildest imagination!
fzanca reviewed Batman and Robin #25 Sep 23, 2025
This is a good start. I am so glad the Momento story is over. By the end, he was dragging a corpse through a minefield filled with barbed wire, and the conclusion was poor. I really hope he can close this up in 6 issues. IF he goes a full 12+ again, I'll probably drop it. I love the way the Penguin is drawn in here and the action is good. Keeping my fingers crossed.

fzanca reviewed Deadpool / Batman #1 Sep 18, 2025
Another example that Zeb Wells is not funny. I thought we would have all learned this during the She-Hulk Disney Plus show. The plot made no sense.

The ploy about Batman wanting Deadpool to be obsessed with him and the Deadpool walking right into the narrative on his own was eye-rolling. The back-up stories were not really note-w more

fzanca reviewed Sonja Reborn #1 Sep 9, 2025
I have one word to describe this issue - Unreadable. I buy a Red Sonja book to read about Red Sonja, not Maggie from the UK suddenly popping into Sonja's body.

fzanca reviewed Star Wars: Doctor Aphra - Chaos Agent #3 Sep 9, 2025
Another good issue from Cherish Chen. The chemistry she creates between Aphra and Han is very good. What a difference from the writing on the last run, which was practically unreadable. My only issue with Chen's writing is that there is no B-story thru line. I like the self-contained stories, but there needs to be more to keep people coming back, and she doesn't have this. I would implore her to s more

fzanca reviewed Green Lantern #26 Sep 9, 2025
I have never been a fan of the idea that there are animal-type avatars stuck in the source battery or running around the cosmos that emulate and exude the emotional spectrum. I believe it was Geoff Johns who came up with the idea. Though he has had many great ideas, this was not one of them. Unfortunately, the entire issue revolves around this, so it's lost on me.

fzanca reviewed Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong: 2 #4 Sep 6, 2025
This is just dumb fun, but this issue was a little too weird for me. We start out with some odd dialogue between Flagg (or whover this guy is) and Lex. Why is Flash wearing a bandage on his mask. That does less than nothing. Whne Croc and Kick Shark grew, it made sense because they weren't human. but Superman growing just looked silly. How did his clothes grew with him?

fzanca reviewed Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #2 Sep 6, 2025
I love Rucka, but I'm having issues with this title. I don't buy that Cheetah and Chesire are that close that she has a nickname for her daughter. He's bringing characters I've never heard of instead of using characters that already exist in the universe.I'm also still cnfused about why the JL would have their powers in a box. This title is really not working for me on so many levels.

I liked the overall idea and action of the issue, but I read the back of the issue where he wrote about the reason he used animals instead of humans. His reasoning is that someone told him that people connect more with animals than other fellow humans. I don't know who told him that, but at least for me, that cannot be further from the truth. I dislike that fact that he used animals in this story more

Jed McKay does know how to keep this title feeling fresh. Moon KNight helps out Wrecker, who is being haunted. It was a good idea having Mook Knight weild the crowbar.

Another good issue, but it's getting a diluted and messy. Suddenly there are dozens of copies of each character.

So, we have time travel and multi-verses simultaneously. This can get real confusing real fast. I should have seen the twist comi more
