This was the ONLY current Star Wars series I found readable ... they canceled the wrong series.
fzanca reviewed Absolute Batman #16 Jan 31, 2026
Truthfully, I'm not following Absolute Batman. The only reason I bought this issue is because Wonder Woman is in it. I like that she's taller than Batman in this universe. Batman going to Hades to find a remedy for Walon Jones doesn't really lend itself to the character's strength. It should have remained a street-level story with, perhaps, bringing Zatanna in as a Wonder Woman villain. I thought more

Part two of our Absolute Batman/Absolute Wonder Woman story– Bruce Wayne is on a desperate hunt to help his friend Waylon, now transformed into a monstrous crocodile roaming the sewers, consumed with a deadly hunger. Batman’s last option for a cure is to turn to a god for help…but will he have to descend into the depths of hell to get it?
fzanca reviewed Superman #34 Jan 31, 2026
I'm not following DC KO, so I appreciate that this issue continued the storyline with the Dark Legion. I'm not a fan of the Superman robots trope. There's no way that a robot can match the powers or strength of Superman. It makes no sense. I'm also not a fan of Lois having powers. I was glad when she lost them. IT's been three years, when is Zod going to claim his power back?

fzanca reviewed Return to Sleepy Hollow #3 Jan 31, 2026
We start with a guy destroying his hand with a hammer. Pretty gruesome. The art is a little sloppy at times. There's way too much ink in this art, which makes it hard to make out faces sometimes. I like that Katrina's daughter has sight, and it is connected to the tree from the movie. I'm not sure how many issues there are, but it's got to be winding down because we already killed most of the huma more

fzanca reviewed Green Lantern #31 Jan 31, 2026
A filler issue. I wasn't a big fan of the mob Hulk in this one. I must have missed how Barry lost his powers. I'm also not sure about the science of Hal "pushing" Barry into super speed. That doesn't make any sense, and then on top of that, he is out of his line of sight. So, it wouldn't work. Without Hal putting a shield around him, Barry's body would be ripped apart even if he were able to reach more

fzanca reviewed G.I. Joe #18 Jan 31, 2026
This issue wasn't as good as the others. It was more of a comedic story about the introduction of Roadblock. I love the character except for the Rock's portrayal of him. Overall, this issue was pretty silly. Let's see where it goes from here.

fzanca reviewed Absolute Wonder Woman #16 Jan 31, 2026
This was a setup issue for sure. We get a whole bunch of unrelated scenes throughout this issue, assuming setting up for the rest of this arc. I do like the team that Veronica Cale put together, and that Zatanna has tapped into her magic, but left her arm intact.

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.

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 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

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.

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

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.

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 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.
