We're also talking about Darth Vader #18, predicting it may well be the next Star Wars comic to garner an Eisner nomination. Jeff and Matt also wax rhapsodic about what sort of Star Wars comics...

June 26th, 20180164It's as if thousands of voices cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. Well, not so much silenced as they learned that Marvel's Star Wars: Poe Dameron will end its run in September with issue 31, bringing the title that debuted in April 2016 to its conclusion. As fate would have it, Poe Dameron #28 is the topic du jour of...
June 19th, 20180576Just 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.

June 19th, 20180147A darkly disturbing yet satisfying end to the "Mutiny at Mon Cala" story arc in the pages of Darth Vader #17 leaves Jeff and Matt in a reflective mood, while the appearance of Nightswan -- again! -- has them wishing Thrawn was more than six issues long. Also of note is the belated news that Doctor Aphra is getting the exclusive...
June 5th, 20180105Suave, shifty and morally ambiguous, Lando Calrissian is a complex character.

May 22nd, 20180131Salutations, 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...
May 1st, 20180165No need for bows or ribbons in this episode as we dive deep -- literally and figuratively -- into Darth Vader #15 and revel in the riveting weirdness of Doctor Aphra #19.
