October 29th, 2019078Rey 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, 2019082Plenty 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 10th, 20190119Matthew Rosenberg provides readers with a steady stream of dialogue in the first of the five-issue Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order -- Dark Temple that pairs perfectly with Paolo Villanelli's art, Arif Prianto's colors and Joe Sabino's letters, yet we're wondering if it was too much for some readers to encompass. Regardless, the series is...
July 9th, 20190131Beilert 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...
December 25th, 20180209The last issue of Darth Vader Vol. 2 was cinematic in its scope, detailed in its delivery and yielded far more questions than answers through the course of its Star Wars homages from the first to final page. In short, it began as it started: Expansive mythology for not just the Sith lord, but Anakin Skywalker, too. As for Solo: A Star...
June 3rd, 2016045We're flying solo for this month's issue. Wait. No, we're not! While Jeff McGee and Matt Moore had expected to have the first issue of Han Solo to discuss, its release was pushed back to later this month. Not to worry, there's plenty to discuss in regard to events in Star Wars #19, Darth Vader #20 and the fifth -- and final --...
May 6th, 2016056We're back for this month's issue and what a collection of Star Wars comics that Matt Moore and Jeff McGee have to fuss about and discuss! And phone books. Lots of phone books. (OK, not so much the phone books.) But before we do that, our heartfelt thanks to all who cast their votes for us in the literature category in the first...
April 8th, 2016087It's an episode focused on endings and beginnings as one series concludes, but another launches with great acclaim and public fanfare. It's also one of trials and tribulation, hence some technical difficulties (we blame the First Order.) Co-hosts Jeff McGee and Matt Moore dive into all five Marvel Star Wars comics titles, including...
February 5th, 20160110It's been awhile, but not as long as the wait for Episode VIII is going to be. Still, it was worth it, given co-hosts Matt Moore and Jeff McGee dive into the comics released since our last issue back in January. (Has it really been almost a month?) and also examine the final sales estimates for comics in 2015, as compiled by John...
Flush from the critical and commercial success of the Lando mini-series, Marvel is again turning to Charles Soule to build on the legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker. Soule will write the five-issue Star Wars: Obi-Wan & Anakin series that Marco Checchetto -- the artist on Shattered Empire -- will...
