fzanca reviewed Geiger #14 May 28, 2025
I only started reading this lately. I picked up a trade and really got into it. I'm still trying to figure Arden out, but this issue really pushes the envelope with that character's end goal. I still don't understand it, but it's diabolical. The art by Frank is truly amazing. Looking forward to it continuing.

fzanca reviewed Fantastic Four #48 May 28, 2025
Though the dialogue is a little melodramatic at time - hence the 1960s, I did enjoy this quite a bit. Lee and Kirby still outwrite anything that is coming out of North's computer. We start out with Black Bolt and the inhumans fighting Vulcan to a reveal of the Watcher and finally the first appearance of the Silver Surver and Galactus -- all in one issue. Amazing stuff. The Watcher tries to shield more

fzanca reviewed Superman Unlimited #1 May 28, 2025
I don't understand what Slott is doing here and how it's going to fit into the regular timeline. It starts out okay with a montage of his saving people, but then he fights the meteor to find out it's a 100% kyptonite. Yet he makes contact with it and it doesn't kill him. It doesn't even negate his powers as he is still able to push it. Calling bullshit there. Apparently, Slott doesn't understand h more

fzanca reviewed Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #8 May 28, 2025
This is another great issue of Moon KNight from McKay. It's so obvious that he doesn't know how to write an ensemble team book, but knows how to write Moon Knight. I love the twist here. There isn't much of a plot, so he tells it out of order. It's all a trap for the dragon inside the sword and I love the banter. Now, he has a weapon agains the Asgardian. Good stuff. Looking forward to that final more

fzanca reviewed Exquisite Corpses #1 May 25, 2025
I only really picked this up because it was 60 pages for $5.00. That is a good deal. The concept itself is very deriviative and nothing new. The issue was fun, however. Giving us some interesting looking characters and likable protangonist though you know very little about him. The families are all disgusting human beings and I am wondering how the writer is gong to give them their comeupance. more

fzanca reviewed Zatanna #4 May 25, 2025
I'm not sure what everyone else is reading, but the only thing I can see that warrants those kind of review scores is the art. The art remains great, but the story is a jumbled mess that makes very little sense. Some artists should not write and, unfortunately, he's one of them. I'm going to finish out the series, but I probably won't pick another series he writes.

fzanca reviewed Titans #23 May 25, 2025
I like the final reveal of this issue, but I don't really care about Vanadia, or however you say that name. I think she's a weak character and would rather her just be a villain. Which is probably what they are setting up-- again. If not, then I have no idea what Layman is doing. I'm looking forward to the Terra fight or even Vanadia teaming with Terra - that would be cool. Let's see what happens. more

fzanca reviewed Dick Tracy #10 May 25, 2025
Al Segura doesn't normally write this well, as seen in the Green Hornet/Miss Fury series and the first issue of Star Wars, but this story arc for Dick Tracy has been truly awesome. I did like the reveal of the Blank, and the mystery leading up to it was good. I'm not a fan of the art, but that tells me the story was good enough that I didn't mind either way. I am looking forward to the next arc an more
fzanca reviewed Space Ghost #12 May 24, 2025
This was a great ending to the arc. I really enjoy this book and I am impressed by the consistency of the writing and character interactions. The teaming fo the bad guys was a nice touch for the ending as was the falling out between Jan and Sapce Ghost. Blip being the key was a good twist as well. I'm looking forward to the next arc.

fzanca reviewed Batman and Robin #21 May 24, 2025
I continue to like this story, but Johnson is dragging it out so badly that it's getting incredible obvious. If this doesn't wrap up in the next couple of issues, I may drop it and come back when there's a new story. I really hate when writers write for the OMinbus. What could have been a good story becomes a languishing heap of crap. That's how I'm starting to feel here. Let's hope he has the wis more

fzanca reviewed Aquaman #5 May 24, 2025
I was going to drop this this month because this is not my Aquaman. I have heard people describe this as the Absolute Aquaman without being tagged with that name, and I agree. I do like Nemo being in this book, though I thoroughly dislike this story. I have no idea why he is piloting the Nautilus alone. He always had a crew? I'm going to give this book one more issue, then I'm probably out.

fzanca reviewed Space Ghost / Jonny Quest: Space Quest #1 May 14, 2025
I thought this was a good idea for a continuation of the Johnny Quest book. I thought the first story was okay, but not great. However, it leads into Race and Jade having hit awkward conversation, which I really liked. The swapping of the two sets of kids makes no logical sense, but I like that as well. I appreciate that he put in the alien language to begin with. Overall, I really liked this issu more

I really wish this book could leap over the hump from decent to very good. The story still feels like it's all over the place with too many characters. Lemire obviously couldn't decide whether he wanted to use the old JSA members and the new ones -- instead, he used both sets. This was a mistake, in my opinion. I also thought that Batman was not written correctly. He comes off as a complete dick. more

fzanca reviewed Mark Spears Monsters #4 May 14, 2025
The issues are loosely connected. The art continues to be good, but I'm losing track of how these characters are connected to one another. In this issue, we have Slayer showing up wounded at the snake tattoo lady's house, but moments later, he seems fine. The Goonies kids show up at Dracula's house, and the vagrant is arrested for no reason and turns into a werewolf. Let's see if there is more con more

fzanca reviewed Star Wars #1 May 11, 2025
I like Alex Seguira's Dick Tracy, but not a fan of his Green Hornet and this is kind of on the cusp. I love that Valence is in it, but do we need three plot threads in the first issue? And do we need 5 pages about the trade issues with Leia? Why didn't the squadron of X-Wings see the massive Star Destroyer the size of a city just a mile away from them? Don't they have computers?

I'm glad this book is going on break. This story wasn't meant to go on for this long. It's lost gas entirely. If this book goes beyond issue 24, it's going to be dragging a dead corpse along by a horse with a heart murmur. Let's see what Kirkman does with it. It's a good book, I hope it closes up well.

This is a decent start to the series, however, it is overpriced like most Marvel books. I'm glad they didn't miss the opportunity to put Kraven in the story. I like that Jonah is back to his old self and we get to see MJ as well. I hope they drop the price for the next issue.

Dani being in this issue really elevated it. However, the story is just a bunch of stuff thrown against the wall. Some of it is sticking, and some of it isn't. This issue is simply a big fight scene broken up by Dani and Magik telling each other how much they love and miss each other. I wish there were more, but if there were a Magik and Dani series, I would definitely buy it. I'll keep going with more

fzanca reviewed Superman #25 Apr 30, 2025
This is a near-perfect issue. The art is amazing. The double-page spreads are great. I'm still not a fan of Lois having powers because it makes Kara obsolete. I love the bad lex, and apparently so does Mercy. She reminds me of Black Cat, where she only likes one version of Peter. Of course, the end is insignificant. She just needs a recharge. I am looking forward to Zod finally arriving. Let's hop more

fzanca reviewed Solomon Kane: The Serpent Ring #2 Apr 30, 2025
This is a beautiful book. It's unusual for an artist to write this well. It is overly verbose, but that's okay for this story. It's a travel/quest story with some likable characters and an interesting premise. It's not lingering on any one element of the story. By the second issue, we are already in Africa. Good stuff.

The only reason I'm rating this at this level is because of the artwork. Otherwise, it would be a 1. It seems like Loeb has never read a Batman comic and doesn't know the rules. This is so horrible that I can't believe Jim Lee agreed to do the art. I gave it one more issue, and from the looks of it, it's not going to get any better. I can't believe that I'm dropping Hush 2 by Jim Lee, but this is more

To begin, let's address the elephant in the room. I am going to miss this artist. He has elevated this book greatly. I really hope they don't bring back Sherman. He was destroying this series. This story doesn't seem to progress the story along, but it was fun nonetheless. I love the design for the Chimera. Still not a fan of the Hades design though. I like how Kelly addresses letting Diana keep h more

fzanca reviewed Zatanna #3 Apr 27, 2025
The artwork is outstanding, but the story is simply a mismush of ideas strewn together. Blue Devil is being tortured and Zatanna is in a dreamworld with Bruce and Clayface. The imagery is great, but there's just no story here and no stakes. This needs to be fleshed out a lot more. Some artists and write, but most can't. This is the latter.

I love having Terra back for this book. I'm still not a fan of having Dick as a part of the team with Donna as leader. It just seems weird. The ending with the lava monster seemed tacked on as well, but overall I'm liking the story though it has some pitfalls like Clock King having mental powers that do not match his character. I'm looking forward to the battle with Deathstroke. Let's hope Layman more
