November 27th, 20180149Well 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, 20180214Fresh 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 13th, 20180208Heavy 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!). We remember Lee for the visionary that...
November 6th, 20180185Five weeks after it began, the frightful final issue of Star Wars Adventures: Tales From Vader's Castle #5 provides a resonant endsong to the mini series, keeping the suspense and chills on a steady course from start to finish. We're quite happy with how this weekly experiment played out and impressed how it not only kept its all-ages...
October 30th, 20180173Readers are treated to what is arguably the first true Greek tragedy of modern Star Wars comics in the pages of Marvel's Doctor Aphra #25, a deftly executed -- in more ways than one -- conclusion to "The Catastrophe Con" story arc that left us agog because of the impact of the story. In the pages of IDW Publishing's Star Wars...
October 23rd, 20180247 Art is murderously misunderstood as readers, finally, get some details as to the origin of Lord Momin, the Sith Lord whose helm was introduced way back in the pages of the first Lando mini series, in the pages of Darth Vader #22, while the horror is sublime in the pages of IDW's Star Wars Adventures: Tales From Vader's Castle #3....
October 17th, 20180247The Padawans have gathered again to talk about issues #12 and #13 of Star Wars Adventures. There's much to be learned in the stories, be it the dangers of revisionist history to knowing one's self worth. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/comicswithkenobi/2018/10/17/comics-with-kenobi-84--young-padawans-edition-1.mp3 Emily, Micah,...
October 16th, 20180173It was a quiet week in Star Wars comics until it wasn't. Jeff McGee and Matt Moore discuss Chuck Wendig's reveal that he's been "fired" by Marvel, the implications it may have and the reactions it's drawn. Also discussed? The solid and deft debut of Robbie Thompson and Will Sliney's first issue of the Solo: A Star Wars Story...
October 9th, 20180140This week's episode is about endings, both in the comics and beyond the comics, too. Star Wars #55 brings an end to Kieron Gillen's destructive and damaging -- to the Rebel Alliance -- "Hope Dies" arc, leaving Han, Luke and Leia partnered with Sana Starros as the Rebellions strives to survive, not flourish. The issue also marks the...
September 25th, 20180220There's a crisis in continuity, again, as Star Wars #54 kills off a familiar Rogue One alum, while the Falcon is taken to Vandor for a new reason in Lando: Double or Nothing #5, the final issue of the mini series. We're also joined by Peabody Award-winning writer Rodney Barnes to talk about what went into making the second Lando mini...
