fzanca reviewed Predator Vs. Spider-Man #3 Jun 28, 2025
I'm not sure what is going on with the art with the panel where the Glaives are being thrown at Spider-man. It looks like his back is sliced in half. Other than that the art is prtty dynamic. I like Kraven making sure the power is off for "his' hunt. The idea of a rogue Predator is interesting. I just don't know how they are going to wrap things up in ionly one issue.

HONOR KILLING!
Skinner - the Predator with no clan or code - is more than the enemy of Spider-Man and the target of Kraven. He's also detested by his fellow Yautja. A hunting party has arrived in New York. And all hell is about to break loose.
RATED PARENTAL ADVISORY.

fzanca reviewed Green Lantern #24 Jun 28, 2025
The Hal and Carol stuff is where this book really shines. I wish the book could be all about them. There's not much going on with the Superboy thread. Maybe with the visit to the station, it will open up more. I'm going to stick with it. This is the best we've seen from Green Lantern since Rebirth, but Jeremy needs to stop with adding to the emotional spectrum. It's too convulted already.

fzanca reviewed Absolute Wonder Woman #9 Jun 28, 2025
I like the introduction to Ferdinand here. I haven't seen him since Greg Rucka's run. I really dislike Sherman's art for this book. He is dragging it down. If they were smart, they would swap him out fast. I also like the Amazonian being evil. Nice twist. This is the Kelly Thompson best run of her life.

fzanca reviewed Superman #27 Jun 28, 2025
Another good issue. I like that he's closing up the story of Super Corp and Superwoman. I wasn't a fan of Lois having powers to begin with. I am confused about Zod, however. Aren't they his powers that were lost? Wasn't he on his way to Earth in the last issue? I was really hoping for a battle with Zod to close the story up. But I guess that's not going to happen. I hope we learn more about Maril more

fzanca reviewed Emma Frost: The White Queen #1 Jun 24, 2025
I was extremely skeptical about yet another solo series featuring a member of the X-Men. However, it was quite wise to bring the story back in time to the 1980s where Emma was a villain. It was great seeing the original X-Men in their original costumes. Especially Storm. I love their introduction with Emma smelling the brimstone. All good stuff. Looking forward to the next issue.

fzanca reviewed Star Wars: Doctor Aphra - Chaos Agent #1 Jun 24, 2025
After Alyssa Wong's descent into self-destruction as a writer and ultimately leading to the cancelation of the title, I did not have high hopes for this reboot. Especially when Marvel is casting their writers. Apparently only Asian females can write Doctor Aphra. With all of that being said, Cherish Chen did a great job with this issue. She went back to basics. When they revealed that the parole o more

fzanca reviewed Zatanna #5 Jun 24, 2025
With only one issue remaining, I still can't tell you what this story is about. Some artists can write and some can't. This is definitely the latter. I'm continuing it purely due to the art. The demon tries to implant memories into Zatanna's head to make her think her father didn't love her. She visits her mother and walks upon the blue-line of a couple of comic pages. This is the only spread I li more

The trap is sprung. All cards are drawn. The guillotine descends. As a tragic taleof loss and demise is told, Zatanna has one chance to discover the secrets of thecursed sword, regain control over the narrative, and save herself. If not, when thestory concludes, so does her life!
fzanca reviewed Superman Unlimited #2 Jun 24, 2025
I think I'll stick with the Joshua Williamson main title. This one by Dan Slott is not very good. He created a scenario with Kryptonite that cannot possibly be occurring in current continuity.

fzanca reviewed Exquisite Corpses #2 Jun 24, 2025
This is a significant drop from the previous issue. We don't even see the main Soldier contestant. The Congressional killer is who we are focused on as well as the Gamer Kid going trick or treating. I'm not sure who the woman was that was in the dealership. I do like the "Side Bets" against the main matriarch. For the most part there is no significance to the story for this issue.

fzanca reviewed Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #9 Jun 19, 2025
Not as strong a issue as the previous one, but this does set up the finale. It's pretty obvious that the final showdown is coming. At least Jed McKay knows how to wrap up a story without it taking 12 or more issues to get there. I'm looking at you Tom Taylor and Philip Kennedy Johnson. I think the visions should have been a bit harder to get through, where Marc had to overcome them in some way rat more

Though I'm not a fan of Terra's new costume, I do enjoy her presence in the book and joining Deathstroke. I'm still not a fan of Clock King having mental abilities, but I guess they felt like Clock King was a wasted character without adding something to him. I wish Layman gave a quick origin to his powers. The other problem with this issue is Vanadia's quick turn to being a villain. I prefer her b more

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

This issue seems a little scattered. A Jedi crown? Really? The design is horrible. Luke jets off by himself, which is not in his character. There was no movement on the trade war storyline. I am looking forward to the next issue with Han and Valance. The Luke storyline has already lost me.

I was disappointed with this issue. It felt like a filler issue, and an opportunity to put the Goblin Queen and Magik together should have been epic. Instead, it just came off awkward. I'm not sure how someone screws up a Magik mini-series, but in only 6 issues, this has really gone downhill. I'm going to stick it out for the final two issues.

Another good issue. I still like Baroness being a part of the Joes, and pairing her with Covergirl was a good idea. There's a good dynamic there. I don't know who the villain is at the end, but admittedly, I don't know everything about GI Joe. Williamson does a good job with this title. I just wish there was a different artist on it, or at least another colorist.

What I like about Jim Zub is that he doesn't let a story get stale like many of the Marvel and DC writers seem to be doing nowadays. Even though I don't think some of his other stories even wrapped up. A lot happens in this issue and is a really good opening to a story, putting Conan and his group in grave danger. Looking forward to the next issue.

Though I like the use of the characters, especially Damien, this story just feels like it's going nowhere. This story has been going on for over 10 issues, and barely anything has happened with the villain. We know nothing about him, and apathy is setting in. If he doesn't close this story up by issue 24, I'm dropping it and I'll come back later.

Though I love Jeremy Adams, this is not my Aquaman. I know many people like this version that leans more toward the Absolute universe. There really hasn't been any movement on this story.

The art continues to be amazing. Solomon Kane is depicted very well in this story, and the budding relationship with Diamanta is good as well. I like the snake creatures.

Some of the story threads are conjoining once again, which is a lingering issue with this storyline. I understand that Mark is trying to stick as many monsters in here as possible, but it's weighing the overall story down.

I was told that this was a filler issue, but it wasn't. It's definitely tying into the main story.
