fzanca reviewed Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #11 Aug 9, 2025
I didn't even know that Moon Knight had a daughter, and I've been reading this book for years. The change in artist really threw me off. I do like the story being told in POV, but it was definitely a filler issue. I really thought this was going to be the final showdown with Fairchild, but McKay decided to just let him get away. I'm a bit disappointed by that.

fzanca reviewed Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1 Aug 9, 2025
I love Rucka, and the art in here is just amazing. But the McGuffin in here is just plain dumb. All of the powers of the Justice League are sitting in a box waiting for someone to steal them? How does that even make sense? Can someone explain it to me, please? I do like the interaction between the characters, and I keep waiting for them to turn on one another. There's no doubt that Rucka is a good more

fzanca reviewed Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong: 2 #3 Aug 9, 2025
I think everyone just takes this book too seriously. It's just a fine mashup. At least that's how I read it. Superman is weakened, and Lex leaves him to get pummeled. Cheetah's fight with the Flash gets interrupted, and Wonder Woman makes a chump out Peacemaker. Fun stuff. The end sets up for a rematch. I know this book gets awful reviews, but I'm enjoying it.

fzanca reviewed Captain America #2 Aug 9, 2025
Why can't anyone write a good Cap story? He has got to be the easiest character in the world to write, and everyone just over-complicates him. I'm so tired of everyone having the super-soldier serum, when the professor died in 1945 to prevent anyone from having it. I really dislike the change in costume as well. I don't think I'll be collecting this book beyond issue 5. Another failure for Chip Z. more

fzanca reviewed Lazarus: Fallen #2 Aug 7, 2025
Another good issue, but if you haven't read the previous installments, you will have no idea what's going on. This was a mistake as far as I'm concerned. Rucka needed to start an entirely new storyline that allowed for a jumping-on point. I think this volume will be very short-lived due to the previous readers not returning and garnering zero new readers. The only reason I can think of for doing t more

fzanca reviewed Space Ghost / Jonny Quest: Space Quest #3 Aug 7, 2025
I have a big problem with this issue. Casey apparently has a very low opinion of Johnny Quest. The scenes with Jan, Jace, and Dr. Benton are good here, but it comes to Space Ghost and Johnny, the scenes have a lot to be desired.

fzanca reviewed Fantastic Four #278 Aug 7, 2025
I like how Byrne used the premise of giving Doom's memories to the kid to basically tell a series of flashbacks, but this one is basically a setup issue.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
