October 16th, 20180166It 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...
August 21st, 20180136From the backstory of Solo: A Star Wars Story's mercurial Tobias Beckett to Charles Soule holding nothing back in the penultimate issue of Poe Dameron, this past week's Marvel Star Wars comics delivered action, daring and an ominous undertone of dread. Join Matt Moore and Jeff McGee as they parse the multilayered intricacies of the...
July 31st, 20180187We're so deep in smit with Doctor Aphra right now it's not even funny. The latest issue, #22, found Jeff and Matt enjoying the rollicking tale, despite the awkwardness of having not one but two lovers show up! The same with Lando: Double or Nothing #3, which is proving to be a worthwhile addition to Lando's long history and is required...
July 24th, 20180149The woes of Poe are compounded by Black Squadron's inability to rally allies to the cause in this, their most desperate hour in the pages of Poe Dameron #29, while Han Solo proves his mettle, skill and pluck as the best pilot in the Galaxy in Star Wars #51 in what portends to be a head-to-head duel with Darth Vader. Finally, in the...
July 10th, 20180181There's a sublime yet stellar feeling through out the milestone Star Wars #50 as readers' notions of hope, and all that word portends, takes a sinister turn. In the pages of The Last Jedi Adaptation #4, we're entranced with how the creative team has added some complex context to that film's story without detracting from the action in...
June 19th, 20180534Just more than two-and-half years years after it debuted in the aftermath of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Marvel's Star Wars: Poe Dameron series will conclude in September with issue #31, drawing to an end, for now, the tales and adventures of its namesake pilot and his fabled Black Squadron. Marvel revealed what Comics With Kenobi...
June 12th, 20180114The Empire's hosting a fish fry and everyone is invited, especially if you're part of the Rebel Alliance (and, likely, a traitor, too!). Such is the discussion of Star Wars #49, a fitting, if not startling, end to the "Mutiny of Mon Cala" arc that sets up quite nicely the next story, "Hope Dies" in issue #50 of Marvel's flagship...
May 22nd, 20180127Salutations, celebrations, true love can't wait and gravity-skipping bananas (not to scale) dominate this episode with just Star Wars: Poe Dameron 27 at the center of our discussion. We're also dropping recommendations for books and comics to read ahead of this week's Solo: A Star Wars Story and ruminating on sweet home Chicago, the...
March 27th, 20180105Marvel's Star Wars comics have a new group editor, while Charles Soule has offered up some splendid detail about the Poe Dameron series in an interview at Marvel.com about its past and its future, making our discussion of Poe Dameron #25 that more involved. In Star Wars #45, Kieron Gillen was very prescient about the role milk plays in...
February 20th, 20180144Terex has a bolt loose, Vader's got a price on his head and Thrawn's locks are lovely. There's way more than head canon in this week's episode of Comics With Kenobi as Jeff McGee and Matt Moore dive into Star Wars: Poe Dameron #24, Star Wars: Darth Vader #11 and the much anticipated debut of the first issue of the six-issue Star Wars:...
