Hi, I'm usually don't do this until the series has ended like Manowar, but heck it.
Well, I'm having mixed opinions of F&TFF, for now I'm going to start with the positive, the issue was a helluva fun, more than the first issue, I'm gonna grant them that, the guest artists are very good no doubt about it and Ulises Arreola is a great colorist.
-Spoilers to minimum-
Damn, they should have make that no one could drawn Neela except for Stephen Segovia, the dialogue again was fun, and the pacing is correct the characters act as one would expect from them. And now to end this I've have that is not a bad aspect from the comic, but the story is just fanservice.
I know that I praised the art, and I know that Faith is cute, but artist don't agree on how to draw her face, sometimes she is more fat sometimes not, Jelena draw the face of model and put the face on Faith's body. Now apart from the art, nothing really happened in this issue, ok, I know what you gonna say, but the only action was not pretty exciting, it was kinda obvious how it was gonna end(how it was going to start), it's just to make a difference on the power levels.
We don't have more info on the robot except its name and some plato quotes to make him look intimidating(it was already intimidating not need to force it) and funny but it was not bad. But I don't want the story to repeat so much
So we have two issues that are set-up and two issues to end this event. So things have to changed on F&TFF #3.
Now I'm glad to see again all my favorite characters from Valiant, but that's what the point I was going, is just a big crossover event to gather up all the characters and make them do something, It's fanservice, and fanservice by itself is not bad, Valiant Hight was great for example and maybe that's the reason and not being so hard nor so soft with this event.
We could see Aric from Vine Hunters and the Eternal Warrior, even if it just for two issues more(now that I remember Aric owed a favor to Neela Sethi good one Fred and Jody), I still think it could be a lot better If Fred Van Lente was doing this, but he is occupied with War Mother, but for the worst part was the repetition and lack of action, the best funny dialogue and good pacing.
I hope Issue 3 could be better. So what do you think? Do you hate it?, do you love it?, c'mon people.
