October 29th, 20190145Rey out-Lukes Luke in terms of impatience. Jabba has the last laugh. Leia comes clean. Last week's Star Wars comics -- Star Wars #73, Star Wars Adventures -- Return to Vader's Castle #4 and Star Wars -- Allegiance #3 -- provided readers with decidedly different stories with overarching characters whose influence runs...
October 22nd, 20190156Plenty of camp and chills and thrills and spills and lots of water in this episode, thanks to Marvel's Star Wars: Journey to the Rise of Skywalker: Star Wars -- Allegiance #2 and IDW Publishing's Star Wars Adventures -- Return to Vader's Castle #3. In Allegiance, we find that while old ties are to be cherished, they're not necessarily...

September 3rd, 20190194Tom Taylor knows his audience, no one can dispute that, which is why his work on Age of Resistance -- General Hux struck a chord with fans of Kylo Ren and Brendol's prodigal son, Armitage. Then, in Age of Resistance -- Poe Dameron, he crafted a great story that tied into The Last Jedi in a near-seamless manner. As for Galaxy's Edge,...
July 23rd, 20190284We remain deeply enamored of the Doctor Aphra series, with issue #34 delivering all the right beats, while TIE Fighter #4 has us in an odd position: Rooting for the bad guys. So much new Star Wars comics news is discussed, too, particularly news that Charles Soule is taking "Ben to Ren" in December's four-issue mini series The Rise of...
June 4th, 20190285Just 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 7th, 20190205We'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...
March 19th, 20190145It's a pair of endings as we come to the end of Star Wars: Han Solo -- Imperial Cadet, along with the last installment in the Star Wars: Age of Republic titles, and neither did so meekly, but rather with deft writing, dynamic illustrations and lingering thoughts. The ending of Han Solo -- Imperial Cadet #5 sets the stage for a pair of...
February 19th, 20190220Amid rumors of a relaunching and renumbering of the main Star Wars title later this year, Jeff and Matt discuss the pros and cons of such a move and whether it would have any significant effect on Marvel's existing titles and their sales. Then there's Star Wars (Vol. 1) #108, the one shot due at the end of May that will serve as a sequel...
February 13th, 20190249Slightly more than 33 years after the then final issue of Marvel's Star Wars comic abruptly ended, the publisher is bringing it back around for at least one more issue -- for now -- featuring a who's who of canon characters and now-Legends era characters the original series created for the comic book.
