I agree the use of "they" over and over, took me right out of the story - especially when Han could tell that the assassin was a female.
fzanca reviewed Hyde Street #8 Aug 23, 2025
I like the conflict between Pranky and Mr. X-Ray. I have no idea where this story is going, however. Who am I supposed to root for here? Everyone here is bad, and I don't see them searching for redemption. They just become worse as time goes on.

The solution, however, lies in the hands of someone even more unsettling: Doctor Ego. Can the two sworn enemies survive a visit to Hyde Street’s most unnerving pra...
fzanca reviewed Exquisite Corpses #4 Aug 23, 2025
I know many people like this series, but I feel like this story is all over this place with far too many threads. I thought the soldier from the first issue was going to be the hero of the story, but we haven't seen him or heard about him in 3 issues. I felt like this issue was a complete waste of time. We don't progress any part of the story except learning that Fox Killer had a kid that was murd more

fzanca reviewed Conan The Barbarian #23 Aug 23, 2025
Another great issue from Jim Zub. I like the twist that came in this issue. I was worried that this would be a traditional gladiatorial uprising story. I liked the undercover aspect of this, and that there is a loose strand in Bast having escaped. Unlike writers from DC and Marvel, I love how Zub can tell a story in 5 issues or fewer. Looking forward to the next issue.

fzanca reviewed Star Wars #3 Jul 25, 2025
I was really looking forward to this team-up. Solo, Lando, and Valance - come on. That's a recipe for adventure, yet Segura gives us none. This issue was just plain awful. He really gets Dick Tracy, but when it comes to Star Wars, he's absolutely clueless. Half of this issue is a flashback about a character I don't care about. And what's with calling the assassin "they"? I thought we were through more

Anyway, this is all I'll say about it. Feel any way anyone wants it'll never be good enough. I'm done commenting or doing anything other than scoring comics. I see the same ol' faces on this site are still doing the same ol' thing and it's tiresome.
But I did Google it. Shakespeare used a singular they to refer to a man. It goes back that far. It's not something new and it's not about making new groups feel better about it. You're just wrong and clearly, your feelings are tied to that wrongness. May as well type out "sigh" while you're at it.
Majik just doesn't warrant her own series. She's not a strong enough character. Now the demon is in Cal's body. We have some awkward dialogue between Majik and Moonstar where each of them is looking for the other to lead, and the demon keeps giving the orders instead. I thought this was a mini-series, but if this is an ongoing then this is a drop for me.

fzanca reviewed Star Wars: Jedi Knights #6 Aug 17, 2025
Though this issue has some good fight scenes and we finally get a pay off to the assassin storyline in a small degree. The rest of the issue is a sloppy mess. Mace should have been able to stop that dart, especaily when he knew where it was coming from. And Qui-Gon should have been able to force push the assassin. It would have been cool if the assassin was immune to it, but we didn't get that. In more

fzanca reviewed Space Ghost: Vol. 2 #1 Aug 17, 2025
This is a different type of story, which I like. We have the battle of Space Ghost with Toymaker, while Jan and Jace have a conversation with their grandfather. He is attempting to gain custody, but they want to stay with Space Ghost and state their case. This is a good jumping-on point for new readers. I'm glad it did well enough to warrant another volume.

fzanca reviewed Batman and Robin #24 Aug 17, 2025
It's scary how drawn out this story was. It was a nothing story with no impact whatsoever. So small, in fact, that Johnson tied it up in a half of an issue. It had me saying, "That's it?" This started out really good and then dragged, and dragged, and dragged, until it went from a boulder to a pebble. The only parts of this story were good were Damien trying to figure out who he was going to be. L more

fzanca reviewed Dick Tracy #11 Aug 15, 2025
Another good start to a story. A lot of death in here. I like seeing the WWII scene. It adds more to Tracy's character. Patton getting shot threw me for a loop. I wasn't expecting that at all. It's amazing how Segura gets this character. Yet, his Star Wars is complete trash. How does that happen? I love that he contains the story in five issues, like Jim Zub does with Conan.

fzanca reviewed Fantastic Four #290 Aug 15, 2025
This was a really good issue. We have a huge battle between the FF, Blastaar, and Annihlius. Just when Blastaar thinks he's on top, his armada turns on him, only to get a surprise. My only critique is that we don't see even a single frame of the battle between Annihlius and Reed as he sacrifices himself. I would have liked to see that. I know Byrne was keeping this a secret to reveal later, but a more

There are a lot of service members that upset with parts of the story, and I think Chip is really pushing the envelope when it comes to trying to mirror the Steve Rogers story.

fzanca reviewed Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #11 Aug 9, 2025
I didn't even know that Moon Knight had a daughter, and I've been reading this book for years. The change in artist really threw me off. I do like the story being told in POV, but it was definitely a filler issue. I really thought this was going to be the final showdown with Fairchild, but McKay decided to just let him get away. I'm a bit disappointed by that.

fzanca reviewed Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1 Aug 9, 2025

How does that even make sense? Can someone explain it to me, please? I do like the interaction between the characters, and I keep waiting for them to turn on one another.

I think everyone just takes this book too seriously. It's just a fine mashup. At least that's how I read it. Superman is weakened, and Lex leaves him to get pummeled. Cheetah's fight with the Flash gets interrupted, and Wonder Woman makes a chump out Peacemaker. Fun stuff. The end sets up for a rematch. I know this book gets awful reviews, but I'm enjoying it.

Why can't anyone write a good Cap story? He has got to be the easiest character in the world to write, and everyone just over-complicates him.

Another good issue, but if you haven't read the previous installments, you will have no idea what's going on. This was a mistake as far as I'm concerned.

Wow, this issue is bad. The villains are clones of the Illuminati. I'm so tired of team books having equally matched teams thrown at them. At least with Space Ghost, we were introduced to each member, and then they teamed up for the finale. That's how you write a story. This is just lazy. Members on the cover aren't even in the book.

This issue at least feels a bit more like Peter, but then he goes up against the boss with no plan. Not sure what Panosian is thinking by taking Peter's hand. There was foreshadowing of this when Smee was talking about Hook. This has just not been a good series overall.
