“but from previous experience with Virgin Comics, I’m pretty sure I would have liked it less than Zorro.”

Judging from this, I guess you’re not too impressed with the Virgin line. Myself, I was initially skeptic to the Indian myth stories, and in spite of beautiful art, found them boring.

But I came across the new series “The 99″ #0 and WoW! That’s a different story. I am now actively seeking the first issues - but of course, in a “big two”-dominated market, they are nearly impossible to find. This series, drawn by John McCrea, is going places - if it can be found …
What did you think?

Ha, no it looks like we just accidentally deleted the credit! Believe me, D3’s utterly shameless and will stand behind even the freakiest of opinions (of which championing the art on Jenna’s book doesn’t rate very high; it really is pretty impressive).

(off to correct it)

I should’ve known that someone who drives a dinosaur van wouldn’t balk at pimpin’ a porn star comic.

D3 must have been too ashamed to take credit for the Jenna Jameson review then, because I don’t see his name above the review.

Ultimately I found it a passable read, maybe even above average here and there, but ultimately disappointing because I think a Zorro book could really stand to wow the reader with some swashbuckling in its first outing. But, alas, no buckles were swashed, the action being more along the lines of Flass’s story from Batman: Year One where all the action is remembered

Wait you guys didn’t like the lone ranger comic?…I thought it was pretty damn good.

I liked the first couple issues, but I worried that it was kind of a slow burn that wasn’t going anywhere. After reading through the trade, that’s kind of what I felt like I got.

A Matt Wagner comic gets a lukewarm review while the porn star comic gets a nod. What kind of bizarro universe have I fallen into? The other Panteon members may want to give Randy the Skrull test.

To paraphrase Dan from upthread, don’t lump us all in with D3. I didn’t read Jenna Jameson’s comic, but from previous experience with Virgin Comics, I’m pretty sure I would have liked it less than Zorro.

Btw, the Skrull test still has some nasty side-effects we’ve been trying to work out. We have yet to actually find a Skrull, but the shallow graveyard in the parking lot out back is really filling up.

I think I’ll pass on this and wait for Janine Lindemulder’s comic book series.

Hey, don’t lump us all in with Randy. I haven’t read Lone Ranger, but I actually really liked Zorro. It took this first issue to explain his origin and give me a real solid feel for the character instead of jumping right into swashbucklery assuming I knew what he was about. Now I know what drives him, and I actually care why he carves ‘Z’s in people- hell, I’ll cheer as he does it. Unlike Randy, I was never bored at all.
