fzanca reviewed Fire and Ice #4 Oct 17, 2025
Can someone tell me why this book comes out annually? I don't think anyone is even collecting it anymore because it comes out so irregularly. With that being said, it's a really good book by Willingham with some amazing artwork. If it gets canceled, however, I wouldn't be surprised. The witch revived her dead son, who outs her other son as a murderer.

Lemire has a pacing issue in this book. There was no reason to draw this story out for 12 issues. Then the ending happened at such a quickened pace, it gave me whiplash. Build-up, more build-up, and boom, it's over. I'm so tired of writers drawing stories out for a year or more. The editors should mandate 6-issue story arcs. Can anyone tell me why writers are doing this? It seems like every one of more

fzanca reviewed Batman and Robin #26 Oct 11, 2025
Still the best Batman book out there. I wasn't happy with Fraction's last issue, and then I read this. We have a mystery, a viable threat, and a father-son budding relationship that is hampered by duty. I hope that he doesn't draw it out like the Momento story. Six issues is good. Love the Penguin in here as well.

fzanca reviewed DC K.O. #1 Oct 11, 2025
Some really good art from amazingly talented people. It is extremely text-heavy, but I guess that's what is needed for the start of an event. Having Darkseid being one of them does negate the bracket, but they have a twist for us. let's see what happens.

fzanca reviewed Superman #30 Oct 11, 2025
Twist upon twist with the Superboy Prime character. The battle scenes are pretty good, and the stakes are high. What I found weird was that after betraying them all, Superboy Prime said, "Okay, let's go!" And they followed him without question. I thought that was weak writing. Other than that, it was another solid issue.

fzanca reviewed Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #3 Oct 9, 2025
The artwork continues to be excellent. I'm just not sold on the idea of all of the powers of the JLA sitting in a box. It makes no sense whatsoever, just like all of Absolute Power made little sense. I like that Klarion wants to make a move on Feather, but gets called away at the last second. I like the layout of the entire plan and the hurdles. I just wish I had bought into the plot.

With the crew assembled, Cheetah and Cheshire’s plan kicks into highgear. The only problem? If they can’t figure out how to gain access tothe world’s most secure facility, the heist could be off before it even begins. As team dynamics continue to evolve, it would be a shame ifanything went Sideways…
fzanca reviewed Conan The Barbarian #25 Oct 9, 2025
I didn't like this issue as much as the previous one. It was a sharp departure from the previous stories. This was a one-shot, and I appreciate that, but the conclusion didn't live up to the build-up that occurred throughout the issue. I was a bit disappointed by the overall story. Looking forward to the conclusion of the Bast story.

Spectacular extra-sized 25th issue!
THE NOMAD: Conan the King welcomes a strange visitor with an even stranger mission.
Can the Ruler of Aquilonia prove his mettle or will the mysterious wander’s incredible power change the course of history?
Something felt off about this issue. There is far too much gunplay in it. They are trained to avoid bullets and disappear before the cops show up. That's why this feels off, because they don't do either of these things. In fact, by the end, there's a dead cop because of their presence.
Let's see where this goes, but right now I feel like it's a bit of a mess.

I wasn't as big a fan of this issue. The Viking trapped in ice didn't really work for me and then he constantly spok about the time masters, but we were never introduced to them. Also the grandfather not recognizing his own granschildren behind the masks was weired. I think he should have recognized them but purposely didn't say anything.

fzanca reviewed Lazarus: Fallen #4 Sep 29, 2025
I'm still not sure why Rucka revisted these characters after all of these years. the story ended with Forever and Infinity escaping the family. He may have made a deal with one of the streaming services and needs additional stories, that's the only thing I can think of. The character moments are good, but ther are no action scenes in the entire issue. Not sure what the story is even about.

fzanca reviewed Green Lantern #27 Sep 28, 2025
This was a pretty epic issue. John Stewart sacrifices himself to ignite the power batteries. All of the power batteries -- I'm not sure that's how it works. Wouldn't each power battery need its own sacrifice since they are all different emotions? Hell, what do I know? The action is good, and I like the interaction between Hal and John. John has always been a favorite of mine. Unfortunately, I'm no more

I'm not sure why we needed the first couple of pages, when they mean nothing to the story. However, after that, the pace speeds up and never stops. I'm not sure why the club owner didn't kill Emma. That's a hole for sure. The fight with the Sentinels was great. It was definitely a throwback, and the save from Mystique was classic. Looking forward to the final issue.

This book almost feels like an anthology. Several of the supporting characters make appearances from one issue to the next, but it's becoming the killer of the month.

fzanca reviewed Star Wars: Doctor Aphra - Chaos Agent #4 Sep 27, 2025
The art is good here, and so is the action. However, this story seems completely out of sorts for this character. It was good to see Chewie and the Wookie Bounty Hunter, but Aphra is out of place taking part in a security mission. She's not a fighter. And security consists of only two people? It makes no sense.

fzanca reviewed Absolute Wonder Woman #12 Sep 27, 2025
What brings this issue down for me is the art. i'm just not a fan of Sherman's art. However, after years of writing mediocre Capt. Marvel issues, she has found her stride in Absolute Wonder Woman. This is a really well-written issue, displaying Diana in all of her empathic glory. Though I have no idea what Clea is wearing on her feet. What the hell?

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.

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.

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.
