April 9th, 20191191We've got a great conversation with artist Will Sliney, whose tenure on the just-completed Solo: A Star Wars Story adaptation allowed him to flex not just his creativity, but his love for Star Wars, which is fitting, given issue #7 is among the two issues we're discussing this episode.
