It always seemed to be just about on the verge of getting started and then sputtering out before it finally caught hold of a story. Guess I was ruined by a childhood of Guy Williams and Alex Toth's comic book interpretation.

I enjoyed McCulley's original, I enjoyed Allende's origin. Don’t discount the Allende book; it’s quite good. I enjoyed McCulley’s original, I enjoyed Allende’s origin.

There was one a little lame so far, but I don't remember the title. I just couldn't get into it, so skipped to the next story. I've long been a fan of Zorro, and Johnston McCulley's writing, but I don't mind seeing new writers involved - as long as they keep to the original character. I've never read the Allende book, nor do I intend to. I’m reading the stories now, and so far I’m enjoying them. There was one a little lame so far, but I don’t remember the title.

The Zorro in my story could be Allende's Zorro, Douglas Fairbanks, Tyrone Power, Guy Williams, Duncan Regehr, or Anthony Hopkins, depending on your tastes.

Personally, there was a lot I didn't like about it, and some of the changes that screamed "I'M MAKING THIS CHANGE SO THAT IT'S MORE MODERN AND POLITICALLY CORRECT" are things that I would prefer don't stick around as part of the mythos. Zorro being half Indian and closer with Bernardo is perfectly fine, but things about the ending... Hmm, I hope no one adheres too closely to the Allende book though.
