March 3rd, 20160201We took advantage of the extra day this year to read some more Star Wars comics. Now, we're talking about them! Are you? Then let's do it together, why don't we. Co-hosts Matt Moore and Jeff McGee swing through four issues in this month's outing, including the penultimate issue of our favorite Kanan, as well as...
Marvel’s Star Wars comics for May feature a bounty of reprinted first issues — including Droids and the 1977 Star Wars #1 — for just a buck each to celebrate May the 4th Day, along with the second issue of Poe Dameron, the final issue of the Obi-Wan and Anakin mini-series and ongoing adventures in Star Wars and Darth...
November 25th, 2015071Vader is down, but actually Darth Vader is really up. So far up that all the hype surrounding the six-issue crossover IS worth it! He's also amazingly lethal and so precise that it's scary. Sidious plus Dooku plus Darth Maul plus Kylo Ren scary. Listen to the Show here! But that's just one part of this issue of Comics With...
