Am I the only comic reader that never like Ka-Zar? Give me DC’s Warlord and his “hidden world” any day over The Savage Land, which has been used as a plot device/alternate location as many times as the late, lamented Attilian.
Really? When the chips are down, Warlord is a much weaker character, and Skartaris a far more derivative and limited setting.
I thought Skaar was taking over the Savage Land?
If this series is going to be interesting, they need to get Ka-Zar, Shanna and Zabu out of the Savage Land for at least some of the series. There’ve been so many bad stories set there at this point, its pretty much Marvel’s outhouse at this point. For dual-natured characters like Shanna and Ka-Zar, they should to interact with other characters in the Marvel universe in order to showcase what makes them unique and special flowers.
Plus leaving the SL for awhile would make it easier for Zabu to hang out with his Pet Avenger pals!
I used to like Ka-Zar, but this art is terrible! Well, the people in this art are terrible. And I kinda hate the lettering and word bubbles too, they seem very starkly contrasted to the art. Not pretty at all.
