Not that I haven't liked some IDW or disliked some DDP, but I give this to DDP because of America's Elite and because they advanced the brand without the Marvel/Hama name on their books. There was something great about going into a comic shop and seeing my favorite title again after "all" those years.

I'd have preferred DDP, if not for the mishandling of Zarana & Zandar.
Zartan stabs Zandar and nearly kills him. Next we see of Zandar & Zarana, Zandar is perfectly fine and Zarana, predictably, about/towards Zartan: "My brother's sick. He needs to rest! Are you sure you want to be alone?" Meanwhile, despite being privately told Zarana & Zandar were twins, it was all but ignored and the notion completely discouraged by DDP. I threw my DDP run in the trash after that.

I know. I was saying I'd prefer DDP if not for DDP's mishandling of Zarana & Zandar. Who were also never designed with matching elements to their appearance either.

Considering how Costa/Gage handled Tomax and Xamot in a such a compelling way, it would've been interesting to see how they handled Zarana and Zandar. |

How much time had elapsed between issues 155 and 155.5/156?

I can't remember who wrote the arc, but the IDW Zartan backstory was all kinds of ridiculous. Some characters work because they're absurd and clever oddities. Trying to make them "dark and gritty" is a failure and the way they handled Zartan proved as much. Tomax/Xamot worked because they were bleak in an insanely bleak story.
