January 15th, 20192224From the satisfying conclusion to IDW Publishing's third and final issue of Star Wars Adventures -- Destroyer Down #3 to the in-depth father-and-son dynamic in Star Wars: Age of Republic -- Jango Fett #1 to a somewhat unexpected, yet utterly satisfying, return of an Imperial villian in Star Wars #59, Jeff and Matt are impressed, to a...
January 8th, 20190241Last week's Star Wars comics this week were profound wildy adventurous, providing readers with a delicate yet forceful examination of the father-and-son relationship between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker in Jody Houser's deftly written Star Wars: Age of Republic -- Obi-Wan Kenobi one shot. In the third issue of the five-issue Star...
December 25th, 20180325The 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...
December 18th, 20180205A 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...
December 11th, 20180285Marvel's ambitious, 27-issue Age of... maxi series begins its run with a potent yet divisive first issue, Age of Republic -- Qui-Gon Jinn, while in Star Wars #58, readers are enveloped with some seriously solid character development that has us rethinking our long-conceived notions about Han, Leia and Luke. From IDW comes the second...
December 4th, 20180144Just one issue this week, but it's left a searing impression on Jeff and Matt.

November 27th, 20180147Well this episode is certainly ab-solutely ab-tastic and utterly f(ab)ulous without being at all pec-uliar. It's a double dose of Han Solo without a shirt as we discuss the second part of "The Escape" in Star Wars #57 and focus on the budding feelings of ... er ... attachment between Princess Leia and the scruffy looking nerf...
November 20th, 20180211Fresh 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...
November 16th, 20181263The Star Wars: Shadow of Vader five-issue mini series Chuck Wendig was writing won't be published at all, despite his having written the first three issues. Bleeding Cool reported, citing retailers, that Marvel had started informing them that the series, which was due to debut in January, wouldn't be replaced or resolicited,...
November 13th, 20180205Heavy hearts as we mark the passing of Stan Lee, who co-created some of Marvel's most enduring characters and, thankfully, reconsidered his position against adapting a yet-to-be released sci-fi film that was to be called Star Wars by Marvel (thank you, Roy Thomas, for convincing him otherwise!).
