Do you think we'll finally be able to open up a comic and see these two together and development of their special bond?
Because I don't. Same shit, different creative team. Sorry Skybound, but I'm very easy to please, just that no creative team will ever go there. I'd take it as a positive for you that Zarana seems to be part of the initial core of Cobra characters. That in itself is a surprise given other Cobra options. Maybe look it as as a glass half full thing. Zarana is front and centre in the new continuity. |

Zarana was a pretty major character in the Marvel comics and you rarely ever saw Zandar. Plus, Zarana has the benefit of being one of the few females in a very male-centric Cobra organization.

I love seeing Zarana in this new title. It remains to be seen whether she's her own person with her own thoughts and ambitions, or just a Zartan stand-in who can't exhale without it being to or about her brother. I doubt they'll bother with Zandar. As I have to remind people, Zandar wasn't being written. Please don't base the character around his not being written!

Don't disagree, but you light a candle for someone to try and give them a bit of hope, and someone has to come along and blow it out!

DT, did you even read the original Marvel run by Hama?
Zarana had almost zero interaction with Zartan after her first few appearances. She was almost exclusively her own characters and one of the higher-ups in all of Cobra, constantly challenging Baroness for her position. I didn't watch the cartoon, but I believe her major arc was her romance with Mainframe, again having nothing to do with Zartan. Where are you getting this notion that she c"can't exhale without it being to or about her brother?" Maybe it was that way in the shitty DDP or IDW books. Don't know cause I didn't read them. In the major canon though, she was never portrayed that way. |

Ironically enough, I just got to Zandar's first appearance in the Joe comics. I couldn't help but laugh when Buzzer sat on him because he didn't notice him in the chair. I think Hama dropped the ball by not making that a recurring gag.

Yeah, it was the DDP run. Honestly, it's like focusing only on the Cobra-La aspect of Cobra Commander as a negative while ignoring the tons of other material involving him that has nothing to do with Cobra-La. I don't know why she doesn't just ignore the DDP version of Zarana if she doesn't like it.

I disagree. Zandar needs to be treated like Zartan or Zarana in the Marvel comics, not as a perpetual joke.
