July 9th, 20190156Beilert Valance returns in a book that's conceivably about Darth Vader but is, in fact, the bounty hunter book we've been craving since 2015. Such is the breadth of Star Wars: Target Vader #1 and how it's not what many thought it was to be. Meanwhile, Finn's past is given more backstory in a story that sows the seeds of his personal...
July 2nd, 20190132Cameos and callbacks in Galaxy's Edge #3 as the series stakes its claim as a contender, while Darth Vader will take a knee while taking note for revenge later in Star Wars: Age of Rebellion -- Darth Vader #1. Just two Star Wars comics this week, but both had plenty of material to make our discussion rather lively, what with the Rogue...
June 25th, 20190198Farewells, hellos, sudden plot twists, long-lost lore and sudden death. This past week's Star Wars comics left no stone unturned when it came to whipsawing readers emotionally and so much more. From the final goodbye to writer Kieron Gillen as he leaves Star Wars after 30-odd issues (along with Darth Vader and Doctor Aphra, too) to...
June 18th, 20190104Combine mortal terror with a mild hallucinogen and what you get is Vader -- Dark Visions #5, the final issue in a mini series that came about through a long and winding process, with some supreme successes, a lot of controversy on and off the pages and and some truly amazing visuals that left us reeling in all the right ways. In...
June 11th, 20190167We enjoyed a rather telling story of what may have been for Luke Skywalker and the efforts that Emperor Palpatine made to try and lure the son of Vader to the Dark Side. Star Wars: Age of Rebellion -- Luke Skywalker #1 made us think while, at the same time, riveting us with its space-borne action and fighting. We also had a great...
June 4th, 20190225Just two issues but so much to talk about, thanks to not just Vader -- Dark Visions #4, but Marvel's return to legends and lore with Star Wars #108, a sprawling, ambitious and immensely satisfying nod to the original 1977-86 run of Marvel's first volume of Star Wars. The over-sized issue is so immense that we asked Mark Paniccia, who...
May 28th, 20190202A 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...
May 21st, 20190121Much to discuss this episode, given Marvel released three Star Wars comics on May 15 -- TIE Fighter #2, Star Wars #66 and Age of Rebellion -- Lando Calrissian #1 -- that featured some solid storytelling, lush visuals and, of course, cliffhangers galore! https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/17954752/download.mp3 This week's Star...
May 14th, 20190168A new arc begins in Doctor Aphra #32 and Boba Fett's laconic gunslinger image is burnished in the pages of Star Wars: Age of Rebellion -- Boba Fett #1 as Jeff and Matt talk about last week's Star Wars comics this week. In news, we break down April's sales figures for Marvel and IDW's Star Wars titles, and ponder Charles Soule's...
May 7th, 20190173We're remembering Peter Mayhew, discussing Han Solo's struggles when it comes to duty now for the future and whether extreme violence is allowable to topple evil as we engage in a robust conversation about Star Wars #65 and Star Wars: Age of Rebellion -- Han Solo #1. Joining us this week is writer Ken Lowery, whose fan-made Rebel: A...
