Ya Doom has never tried and succeeded at manipulating people as an authority figure to serve his goals over the past 6 decades. What is Marvel thinking?????
Chris X reviewed Fantastic Four #29 Mar 4, 2025
You've gotta be kidding me. This is how the FF deal with Doom taking over the world? By exchanging niceties with She-Hulk and fighting bigotry against vampires - who, by the way, should be their enemies?
FF #29 is not only a clumsily written superhero comic with almost no superheroing happening, it's also a misguided and inappropriate allegory that North uses to force-feed the reader hi more

fzanca reviewed Fantastic Four #29 Mar 4, 2025
The only reason to pick up this book is for the art. I think the artist does a good job considering he's drawing nothing but people talking.
This is a loose tie-in to One World Under Door where Doom has taken over the world. Everyone seems pretty fine with it, however. Even the Fantastic Four seem not too worried about the situation. Sue and Ben send their kids off to school and then g more

I thought the art was okay, but only because I have lowered my expectations over the last decade. It couldn't save the book.
fzanca reviewed West Coast Avengers #4 Mar 3, 2025
Looks like I have the same rating as everyone else on this book. It's just not working for me. Tony seems out of his depth. He took a quick look Ultron's code and said, "Yeah, we're good." I agree wholeheartedly with Firestar. Though they completely destroyed her character. Whenever Marvel doesn't know what to do with a character they make them an alcoholic. I grew up watching Spiderman and his Am more

fzanca reviewed Superman #23 Mar 3, 2025
I'm still not a fan of Lois having powers or Lex losing his memory, but the story itself is intriguing. Lois goes off half-cocked and bitch slaps Time Trapper only for him not to give her any additional time to save Jimmy. In essence, it was her fault that he was hurt. The shrinking was a good idea, but how did Lex put that device together so quickly when it was Brainiac technology? Also, when is more

fzanca reviewed Green Lantern #20 Mar 1, 2025
I'm a bit confused about the resolution of the Hal Jordan story. Did the red lantern die? He acted as if he did. I was less impressed with the Kyle storyline as Jeremy made it no secret that he was emulating Raiders of the Lost Ark with Kyle even dressing as the character, which was a bit cheesy I have to say. I wanted to see more out of the alien thief. He made it incredibly easy as Conner simply more

fzanca reviewed Absolute Wonder Woman #5 Mar 1, 2025
Though I like the way this ended, I feel that the writing is very lazy. What I mean by that is there was plenty of time in the other issues to establish the lasso. Instead, it seems incredibly convenient that it's exactly what Diana needed to beat the monster.

fzanca reviewed Aquaman #2 Feb 16, 2025
As much as I love Jeremy and think he's incredibly talented, this does not feel like Aquaman to me. I know a lot of people are loving this version of the character, but as a long time fan, this just isn't him. He would never yell out that he was going to kill anyone. He didn't even say that after Black Manta killed his son. I'm still not a fan of him having Mera's powers and then using it to sling more

How much Aquaman have you read? I asked because he's been pretty brutal in a few runs.
I'm a purist. So, I'm a fan of the Peter David run. I've read the entire early run by Levitz, the rebirth run, by Geoff Johns, and the Abnet run. Those are the runs I think capture the character the best.
fzanca reviewed Zatanna #1 Feb 22, 2025
The bottom line for this is: just because you can draw, doesn't mean you can write. None of what happens has any setup whatsoever. Everything just comes out of left field. However, it is pretty. I'll stick with it for a few more issues to see how it goes.

I don't hate this storyline. I do dislike that Nightwing is still a part of the team after giving this big speech about how he was putting the team in danger by staying.

fzanca reviewed Catwoman #73 Feb 22, 2025
I gave it to the new storyline, but the new storyline is the same as the last storyline. It's just apparent that THorunn just doesn't understand Catwoman. No matter how long she's on this title it will never get any better. It's a shame that I can't collect Catwoman or Wonder Woman because their respective writers just don't understand the characters. This will be my last issue until a new writer more

I didn't hate this issue as much as some people did. I thought some of the jokes didn't land like the MIB reference and I do agree that there are too many human characters in the book.

Let's be honest here, if it isn't Hal, Guy, Kyle, or even John it isn't really interesting. The main question that should be asked on every single page of this book is "Where is Hal?" The other characters are just sort of there and to be honest silly. They can be written out of the book without hurting anything,

Though this issue is a bit all over the place, I like the action and the reveal. I like how this story is really harsh on our heroes, so much so that there is infighting. Every part of the team is feeling the pressure while still wanting to do good. It's taking a bit to get there and the pace is a bit slow, but I'm in for it. Still the best title McKay writes.

fzanca reviewed One World Under Doom #1 Feb 15, 2025
This book seems extremely hollow to me. We have already seen Doom take over the world and he ran it so well that he became bored. I really don't need a rehash of that story done exactly the same way. Ryan North is not a great writer. He's been on Fantastic Four going on three years and no one talks about it. Why would you have a mediocre writer kick off your multi-book event? He should have taken more

fzanca reviewed Conan The Barbarian #17 Dec 14, 2024
Though it has good action, I feel like this is a step backward. It's a simple story, and flashback, of Belit and Conan having a good time until they are set upon by thieves.

If it did, it was not a satisfying conclusi more

We ended after the frost giants daughter and their was a fortress on the horizon and snake dudes to be killed.

Of course, the art is great. This issue took a turn into dilution as it introduces so many different characters and storylines that it's hard to keep track.

I hope some of these storylines merge in the next issue.

This is the escape from capativity issue. I think they could have divided this two plot points up into two different issues so it didn't seem repetitive.
