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

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.

fzanca reviewed Titans #20 Feb 22, 2025
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. It just feels like a gimmick instead of Donna earning the position. Even Cyborg still sees Dick as the leader. He pulls him aside to tell him he's leaving instead of going directly to Donna. I do like the beserk emotion plotline a more

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

fzanca reviewed G.I. Joe #4 Feb 22, 2025

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. I did like some of the interactions. I liked the reveal as I'm a fan of the relationship between Hawkgirl and Stewart, however, I don't like the designs on either.

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,

fzanca reviewed Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #5 Feb 16, 2025
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.

This issue was quality drop from the last one. The action is good as is the art, but all the plot points are completely random and convenient.

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. Characters that Conan and Belit should have made short work of, take a bit longer to dispatch. They are offered a job. I'm confused about what happened to the last arc. Did that end? If it did, it was not a satisfying conclusi more

I totally agree and everybody seems to forgwt that this arc of conan and the chick already did this stuff. We ended after the frost giants daughter and their was a fortress on the horizon and snake dudes to be killed.

fzanca reviewed Mark Spears Monsters #3 Feb 13, 2025
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. We get the man looking over the boy, the Slayer fight, the kids with the disc, the sheriff with the cows, the cops with the painting, and the guy answering the door for Patch Girl. I hope some of these storylines merge in the next issue.

This story is just going nowhere. It's got good art, but no story. Every other page is a flashback. There are literally three splash panels of the flying Avengers looking down at Kang and Black Cat with their arms crossed. Three times in the same issue. So repetitive.

They only stab him and don't cut off any limbs, then after he's got a dozen swords him and he looks like a pin cushion, everyone says, "Okay, that's it for today. Time to go night night."

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. The Dr. Mid-Nite is the stronger storyline though I don't buy her literally dodging bullets. I'm going to stick with it, but this should be a mini-series as I don't feel like there's a big story here.

I thought this arc really lost it's way somewhere in the middle. Though I was somewhat pleased with this ending, the story had taken such a sidetrack and became so convoluted that threads were completely forgotten. She needed to plot the arc better.

I'm not sold on this book. I have a hard time taking anything that happens seriously, mostly because Tony doesn't seem like he's taking it seriously.

He did absolutely nothing after trading with the heroes to give them a ship, he has had absolutely no use. At least he went out with a bang. And the "Cobra-LA-LA-LA" song was funny as hell.

This is practically unreadable. It is quite evident that Torunn doesn't understand the Catwoman character. Catwoman should stay in Gotham, having her galavanting around Europe dilutes the character.

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.
