fzanca reviewed Batman and Robin #29 Jan 24, 2026
I am so sad this title is ending. It was a press of logic to see the Quietman take on three armed men simultaneously. Damian's argument that the Quiet Man is similar to Bruce was an inter. It's good to see someone take Scarface seriously. He's written as a serious threat. I'm looking foward to seeing how this closes up.

Meanwhile, Batman and Robin find themselves at odds over how to handle the recently apprehended Quiet Man, who may have more in common with Batman than ...
fzanca reviewed Supernatural #4 Jan 24, 2026
I'm sure what Greg Pak is doing here. I think he believes this show is a comedy. Abbott and Costello meets Supernatural. His take is not really working. I believe this is a limited series. I'll stick with it to issue 6, but this is a very average series with not a whole lot going for it. The stories are paper-thin, and he doesn't understand the car's link to Dean. I'm not sure if he's ever actuall more

I'm glad Palmiotti likes Misty Knight. We don't get to see her enough. Though I thought she always knew Matt's identity. I had a hard time with that, but the fight scene was good. Overall, it felt like a setup issue for Matt to make a meetin gwith the Punisher. not sure how many issues this is.

fzanca reviewed Tomb Raider: Sacred Artifacts #1 Jan 21, 2026
I'm not sure how you screw up Tomb Raider. One of the easiest characters in the world to write. Yet Casey found a way. Don't underestimate hack writers. This book has all of about 4 pages in a tomb where she confronts a ninja. The rest of it is all talkity talk talk since Lara has an interview with a reporter. No joke. Well it is a joke and that's the sad part. I know I read a tomb raider comic to more

fzanca reviewed Aquaman #13 Jan 21, 2026
I dropped off Aquaman months ago. He's one of my favorite characters and though I love Jeremy this was too much of a deviation from the character for me. He did finally shave the beard, so I appreciate that. I'm not liking that Aquaman stole Mera's powers. She is my favorite female character next to Wonder Woman and how did she get stuck back in Xebel. I must have missed something. The last time I more

fzanca reviewed DC K.O. #3 Jan 20, 2026
We have some good action here, and I like Billy sharing his power with Clark. However, in the end, I just don't care. I am just over these events, and one simply about people in a gladiatorial arena just doesn't do it for me. I already saw that in Secret Wars years ago. They just need to stop doing these events. I know it's a way to bring in the Absolute books, but it feels like just a stunt rathe more

What a great ending to this arc. I liked Cobra Commander turning the tides, simply by offering money and a partnership.

fzanca reviewed Geiger #20 Jan 20, 2026
The art of this is great, but it does take the story in a completely different direction. I only read Redcoat intermitantly so I had no idea who the Northerner was. I know that Geiger is an apocolypitic series, but it turned into complete sci-fi with the introduction of time travel and "drops" from some unnamed organization.

fzanca reviewed Exquisite Corpses #9 Jan 20, 2026
This issue is more about the civilians and the families than it is about the killers. I don't quite understand the rules. They introduced the rule that the killer has to be using the weapon they started with to win. This info dump should not have beenin issue 9, but in issue 2. I know a lot of people love this. I think it's very average.

I don't really remember much about what happened in the first issue. But it's fun seeing Masbath hanging out with the girls and not believing she had visions. I think the number of bodies that are piling up is a bit over-the-top. Overall, I'm enjoying this. I just hope that it sticks the landing.

Still not a fan of the Ming and Aura design, but I did like it when Zarjov was a robot. I thought that was unique and interesting.

Aside from the artist making Frank look like a knuckle-dragger, I really enjoyed this issue. It's good to see the Punisher doing Punisher things. I love the whole ambulance scene. Was the bomb real? LOL, of course it was. Setting up the fight with Tombstone should be epic.

I really enjoyed that and I'm looking forward to see that battle with King Ghadora. We didn't get to see that yet. I also liked Manta taking out their version of Flagg. Big Manta fan.
