Review: Star Wars: The Ultimate Pop-Up Galaxy is an Artistic Wonder and a Giant Feat of Tiny Engineering
Everyone loves a good pop-up book, am I right? I mean, there’s just something about them that turns ordinary reading into an adventure.

The final arc in the ongoing Doctor Aphra series continues this week in issue #38, “A Rogue’s End: Part II”.

However, over […]

Review – The Hunt For Skywalker Begins In Marvel’s Doctor Aphra #37
Sad to say this is the beginning of “A Rogue’s End”, which will be the final arc of Doctor Aphra. While the doctor’s future in Star Wars is still vague, I’m hopeful there are big plans, but it’s still sad to know this series is coming to its end. The good news is writer Simon Spurrier kicked […]
