May 8th, 2018097Jeff, Matt and ... Daisy make three? No, not that Daisy, the other Daisy, who weighs in with a woof as we discuss the events of Part IV of "Mutiny at Mon Cala" in the pages of Star Wars #47.

Our thoughts? "I've got a good feeling about this." We had good feelings about Star Wars 46 and A Star Wars Comic 14, too. As for March's Star Wars...
April 3rd, 20180204There's a soap-opera style appeal to the latest issue of Doctor Aphra, the lone Marvel Star Wars comic that Jeff McGee and Matt Moore sat down to discuss in detail in this episode.
