May 28th, 20190237A double-dose of Jabba, of sorts, as we examine the implications for the Sequel Trilogy in the pages of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge #2, including a now-familiar axe that was seen in the latest images from The Rise of Skywalker. Then we travel back to the Original Trilogy with Star Wars: Age of Rebellion -- Jabba the Hutt, which sports an...
April 30th, 20190291From Doctor Aphra #31 to Galaxy's Edge #1 to Vader -- Dark Visions #3, we're intrinsically focused on which Star Wars comics thrilled us, left us reeling and disturbed us. To help unpack the discourse about Vader -- Dark Visions #3, Amy Wishman Nalan joins us to talk about the book in all its scope and why it struck a chord among...
April 2nd, 20190155Be warned, spoilers abound for Star Wars comics to come, including the flagship Star Wars monthly post-Kieron Gillen and the upcoming Star Wars -- Age of Resistance maxi series. They're in the news section of the show, so proceed with some trepidation. Once you've done that, stay for the vibrant discussion about Doctor Aphra #30 and...
March 5th, 20190111Just a single issue this episode, but it's got enough story beats, action and verve to fill up an entire story, but that's not surprising, given how deliciously weird and wild Star Wars: Doctor Aphra has been since the character's introduction in the pages of Darth Vader, Vol. 1. As such, Doctor Aphra #29 is inarguably the best issue...
February 5th, 20190185The Star Wars comics this week -- Doctor Aphra #28 and Solo: A Star Wars Story Adaptation #4 -- are emotionally draining yet exhilarating, too, whipsawing readers through a range of despair, elation and betrayal. Why? Great writing enmeshed with superb illustrating to tell these stories. We're also discussing the latest news...
December 18th, 20180198A trifecta of Star Wars comics from Marvel's provided an assortent of achievements, and setbacks, for some characters and concepts, yet still advanced the medium of comics as one that is hand-in-glove to television and the cinema, too. The Star Wars: Age of Republic -- Darth Maul one shot was a master class in how this series is...
November 20th, 20180197Fresh of the heels of being deemed too obscure for the Star Wars Celebration podcast stage (Q: Who reads Star Wars comics anyway? A: About 200,000 do, every month.), we're looking at last week's Star Wars comics this week, including a rather stirring start of a new story arc in Doctor Aphra #26 and a thoroughly entertaining chapter of...
May 1st, 20180162No need for bows or ribbons in this episode as we dive deep -- literally and figuratively -- into Darth Vader #15 and revel in the riveting weirdness of Doctor Aphra #19. Both issues are some of the finest Star Wars comics we've ever read and it's clear that each has its own particular tack that gets better with each issue. Join us to...
April 3rd, 20180181There's a soap-opera style appeal to the latest issue of Doctor Aphra, the lone Marvel Star Wars comic that Jeff McGee and Matt Moore sat down to discuss in detail in this episode. Also in the fray with issue 18? Weird but wonderful horror and bio-warfare experiments never seen before. As for news? Jaxxon's back in canon and...
February 27th, 20180103Doctor Aphra's feeling conflicted and Hera Syndulla finds herself in a dangerous situation as Comics With Kenobi celebrates its 50th episode by doing exactly what it's done since debuting in 2015.
