Running Down The Countdown In Marvel’s Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #27
If the cold weather, short days, and no Star Wars movie this December has got you down the always fun Doctor Aphra should perk up those fandom spirits. The doctor is still tethered to psycho-droid Triple Zero as they try to stay alive for the amusement of Cornelius Evazan, who has forced the duo to become inseparable; […]

The planet Hubin has been a great place for our heroes to catch a break from their seemingly endless battle against the Empire.

Well, if you were bummed about less Vader after the recent cancellation announcement regarding Shadows of Vader – fear not, Marvel has you covered with Vader: Dark Visions. Judging by this cover, Vader fans are in for a treat! Not much is known about this, but it makes me wonder if the canceled series morphed into this. Either […]

No Comments »Star Wars Thrawn: Treason Announced
Holy heck! Just in time for the holidays, the Star Wars Show announced a new Thrawn novel from Timothy Zahn. After attending his panel this September, I really didn’t think we’d be hearing from the author until after Episode IX, but it sounds like the he’s prepping another book to cover the adventures of everyone’s favorite […]

First, I want this cover by Jamal Campbell framed and in my living room, preferably over the fireplace. The best thing about this American Gothic homage is that it fits with the story of this issue. Honestly, this issue was like comfort food and everything fun I look for in a Star Wars story. We find […]

Before we continue our deep-dive into the potential redemption of Ben Solo in Episode IX, I’d recommend you read the first part of this editorial series, which speculates on the specifics of Ben’s transformation to Kylo Ren. Though I don’t believe J.J. Abrams is going to retread over Ben’s turn to Kylo in IX, I felt it […]
Review – Our Heroes Search For Hope In Star Wars #56

Review – The Empire Gets A New Recruit In Han Solo: Imperial Cadet #1
I like to think there is still a bundle of related content Lucasfilm has tucked away to follow-up on the characters and stories Solo set up. You don’t need to hear me gush about that film anymore but one of the reasons I loved it so much is because of the depth it added to the […]

Editorial/Speculation – The Lost Prince of Alderaan: The Fall and Redemption of Ben Solo, Part One
Whatever your opinions of Kylo Ren, it’s hard to argue that his story is not one the more compelling facets of the sequel trilogy. The heir apparent to the Skywalker bloodline and all the baggage that comes with it, I wasn’t terribly shocked when Snoke pronounced him the son of Han Solo during my first […]
