Podcasts about comics with kenobi

In the final episode of Comics With Kenobi, we're concluding the first phase of our Star Wars comics podcast with a look back at the series that ended in November and December, and how they're set up for the second phase, thanks to the four stories in the Star Wars: Empire Ascendant #1 one shot.Then it's on to the first issue of the four-issue The Rise of Kylo Ren, which at long last delves into how Ben Solo began his transformation into Kylo Ren. Neither issue disappoints, serving as more than just a way station to 2020 Star Wars comics as well as The Rise of Skywalker film.Look for us next week under the Star Wars Splash Page imprimatur. You won't have to make any changes to your podcast feed or on Twitter or Facebook, either (look for us @SWSplashPod on both platforms).New Star Wars comics out Dec. 26:_ NoneNew Star Wars comics out Jan. 1:_ Star Wars (Vol. 3) #1

The end is nigh for Chelli Aphra (well, for now, given she'll return in April in a new series), yet the creators behind Doctor Aphra #40 crafted a thought-provoking conclusion that favored rich storytelling in lieu of maudlin sentimentalism. In the final issue of Target Vader, more secrets were revealed about Beilert Valance, secrets and events that take on a new resonance now with news that the character will headline a new ongoing Star Wars comics series -- Bounty Hunters -- starting in March.Join us as we say goodbye, albeit temporarily, to a pair of Marvel's finest Star Wars comics.New Star Wars comics out Dec. 18, include:_ The Rise of Kylo Ren #1 (four-issue mini series) _ Empire Ascendant #1 one-shot_ Star Wars Adventures #29_ Star Wars Adventures Greatest Hits #1 (Just $1!)

Just a single issue for this week's episode yet Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order -- Dark Temple #5 drew decidedly different reactions from co-hosts Jeff McGee and Matt Moore. Why is that? Listen and learn why.In news, we take a quick look at the stupendous November for Star Wars graphic novel "sales," while examining how just three Star Wars comics made the top 100 list. (For a complete ranking of November "sales" for all Star Wars comics and graphic novels, check out our Facebook page and Twitter feed.)New Star Wars comics out Dec. 11 include:_ Doctor Aphra #40 (the final issue of this series)_ Target Vader #6 (the last issue)_ Doctor Aphra, Vol. 6, trade collecting issues #32-36

Love is a many splendored, if not completely complicated morass, thing and Doctor Aphra #39, the series' penultimate issue, tackles it with the ferocity of a mudhorn.From feelings of resentment and revenge to an absolute supernova-style kiss to the warm afterglow of love's embrace, this issue was striking in its presentation, building to what is going to be an amazing conclusion.New Star Wars comics out Dec. 4 include:_ Jedi Fallen Order -- Dark Temple #5 (final issue)_ Star Wars Saga #1 (one shot)_ Star Wars (Vol. 1) #1 Facsimile Edition (Reprints 1977's Star Wars #1 in its entirety)_ True Believers: Star Wars (Vol. 1) #16_ True Believers: Droids #1_ True Believers: Star Wars (Vol. 1) #45_ True Believers: Star Wars (Vol. 1) #48 _ True Believers: Star Wars (Vol. 2) #35

This is the end. No, really. OK, not really. It's still the end though, at least for Star Wars Vol. 2 as 75 issues of Marvel's tales set between a New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back concludes after 75 issues, not to mention four annuals, a few crossovers and more.We're talking about the conclusion of the latest arc, what lies ahead and hearing from listeners of the show, too, sharing their high points of Marvel's flagship Star Wars comics series. We're eagerly awaiting Dec. 18's Star Wars -- Empire Ascendant one shot to see how it concludes and looking to Jan. 1 for Star Wars (Vol. 3) #1.Star Wars comics out Nov. 27 include:_ Doctor Aphra #39_ Star Wars Adventures #28

Ink acting, as coined by Jeff McGee, is the art of vividly illustrating a crush realization that what you knew was a lie. Phil Noto perfects this process in the pages of the rollicking and freewheeling Star Wars #74 that sees Greg Pak give new voice to the dedication and sacrifice of C-3PO setting readers up, if even by coincidence, for The Rise of Skywalker in December.In Jedi Fallen Order -- Dark Temple #4, Matthew Rosenberg gets Cere inside the mysterious temple but at what cost to the Jedi code?Finally, in Target Vader #5, Robbie Thompson spun us around with a plot twist we didn't see coming in a book that featured three artists to maximum effect.As for news, the bounty of covers for next month's The Rise of Kylo Ren is plentiful, as are those for Empire Ascendant #1, the book end to Marvel's first phase of Star Wars comics.New Star Wars comics out this week:_ Star Wars #75 (the final issue of Vol. 2)_ Star Wars -- Allegiance (collects the 4-issue mini series)_ Age of Resistance -- Villains (collects Kylo Ren, Hux, Snoke and CaptainPhasma)_ Star Wars Vol. 12, "Rebels and Rogues" (collects 68-72)

With Doctor Aphra careening toward it's end in December, we discuss #38 and realize that Simon Spurrier, Caspar Wijngaard, Lee Loughridge and Joe Caramagna are holding nothing back, ensuring that the first volume of the series is going to end in a dynamic manner.As for news, Star Wars -- Allegiance returns Star Wars comics to the top 30 and IDW's Return to Vader's Castle does a solidly brisk business, too.Star Wars comics out this week, Nov. 13, including:_ Target Vader #5_ Star Wars #74_ Jedi Fallen Order -- Dark Temple #4_ Age of Resistance -- Heroes Trade (collects Finn, Poe Dameron, Rey and Rose Tico, along with the Special)_ Star Wars Adventures -- Pomp and Circumstance (collects issues #14-17 and the 2018 Annual)

It's an origin story enveloped within a love story that's cradled in a revenge story. Such is Doctor Aphra Annual #3, a gem of a book that gives a bit more detail about Nokk, Winloss and Aphra's newfound ... respectability? We're also bidding farewell to the weekly series Star Wars -- Allegiance and Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle, as both conclude their ... dare we say it? ... epic runs.The former formed a solid foundation of backstory ahead of December's release of The Rise of Skywalker, while the latter satisfyingly and consistently delivered great stories that twisted suspense, intrigue and, yes, a dash of comedy, too.Star Wars comics out this week (Nov. 6), include:_ Doctor Aphra #38. (Yep, that's it.)

Rey out-Lukes Luke in terms of impatience.Jabba has the last laugh.Leia comes clean.Last week's Star Wars comics -- Star Wars #73, Star Wars Adventures -- Return to Vader's Castle #4 and Star Wars -- Allegiance #3 -- provided readers with decidedly different stories with overarching characters whose influence runs deep.We break down what worked, what didn't and why each issue was worth the time and money.As for news, Doctor Aphra is going to return with Alyssa Wong and Marika Cresta launching volume 2 of the adventures of our ambiguous space archeologist and walking disaster, bringing to three the number of monthly Star Wars comics that take flight in 2020, while everything you knew about Ben Solo/Kylo Ren's involvement with Luke Skywalker at his Jedi academy will be turned on its head in Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren #2.New Star Wars comics out Oct. 30 include:_ Star Wars -- Allegiance #4_ Star Wars Adventures #27_ Return to Vader's Castle #5_ Doctor Aphra Annual #3

Plenty of camp and chills and thrills and spills and lots of water in this episode, thanks to Marvel's Star Wars: Journey to the Rise of Skywalker: Star Wars -- Allegiance #2 and IDW Publishing's Star Wars Adventures -- Return to Vader's Castle #3.In Allegiance, we find that while old ties are to be cherished, they're not necessarily steadfast, and in Vader's Castle, Asajj Ventress finds out firsthand how invasive predators can wreck a world.There's also news and more views, too.New Star Wars comics out Oct. 23, include:_ Star Wars #73_ Star Wars -- Allegiance #3_ Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle #4_ Galaxy's Edge Trade Paperback (collecting issues #1-5)_ IDW's Return of the Jedi Graphic Novel Adaptation

The schedules aligned, the clouds parted and the ... well, you get the idea.After a far too long gap, the Young Padawans -- Emily and Micah -- and Amy and Matt gathered to dive deep into the stories presented in IDW Publishing's Star Wars Adventures #22, 23 and 24.The themes of each of the six stories were varied, yet all the Padawans found much to focus and learn from. We're hoping you do, too.The next issue of Star Wars Adventures, #26, is set for release Oct. 23

It's a return to the days of Comics With Kenobi yore with FOUR, yes four Star Wars comics to dive into for this episode.Still, it's not a bad job, if you can get it, right?And seeing as how those issues include the launch of Journey to the Rise of Skywalker: Star Wars Allegiance #1, Target Vader #4, Jedi Fallen Order: Dark Temple #3 and Return to Vader's Castle #2, well it's an enjoyable task, and one we're only happy to do.As for news, we give a hearty and hale thanks to listener Edmond Zippo and shine a spotlight on a new Star Wars comics-focused podcast, Star Wars Comics Daily.

October's Star Wars comics started off strong with creepy suspense in the Return to Vader's Castle #1, the first of five weekly issues from IDW Publishing, while in Marvel's Star Wars #72, Luke Skywalker went full farm-boy rube, losing his lightsaber in the process. In Doctor Aphra #37, Chelli finds herself bound to Darth Vader as the new, and likely last, arc takes flight with new artist Caspar Wijngaard and the march toward The Empire Strikes Back increases its steady pace.As for news, we're breaking down Marvel's plans for the third volumes of Star Wars and Darth Vader, which are due for release in January and February, with stories set firmly between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi written by Charles Soule and Greg Pak and illustrated by Jesus Saiz and Rafaella Ienco. We're also hopeful about Doctor Aphra, too, given those at the Lucasfilm Publishing panel said she was very much returning in 2020, likely with bounty hunters being involved.Star Wars comics out Oct. 9 include:_ Journey to the Rise of Skywalker: Star Wars -- Allegiance #1_ Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle #2_ Target Vader #4_ Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order -- Dark Temple #3_ Galaxy's Edge #5 (2nd Printing)

The Age of Star Wars maxi series concludes with a stirring, if not brutal, conclusion as Kylo Ren proves he's better than Darth Vader, while Beilert Vance has Ben's grandaddy in his crosshairs in Target Vader #3. Jedi Fallen Order -- Dark Temple #2 sees an intriguing and decidedly nefarious plot get under way, with Cere Junda stepping up to take on the mantle of hero.Suffice it to say, Star Wars comics were quite edgy and actionable and we've got some opinions -- strong ones, too -- about what they entailed.This week’s Star Wars comics out Oct. 2 include:_ Star Wars #72_ Doctor Aphra #37_ Return to Vader's Castle #1

Chewbacca got his hug, Rey carried a new burden, Leia was stalwart, Rose and Paige found their purpose and Aphra found her secret weapon.The stories that unfolded in Age of Resistance -- Rey #1, Doctor Aphra #36 and Age of Resistance -- Rose Tico #1 were brimming with character development -- some multiple issues in the offing and others just waiting to be told -- that heralded next-level steps in Star Wars comics storytelling.As for news, we break down December's solicits and what the effective end of Star Wars comics' first phase portends for 2020, marvel at the animation by John Stratman in his 16-bit adaptation of the Vader Down one-shot and discuss Will Sliney's selection as artist for the upcoming The Rise of Kylo Ren mini series.This week’s Star Wars comics out Sept. 25 include:_ Target Vader #3_ Star Wars: Age of Resistance -- Kylo Ren #1_ Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order -- Dark Temple #2_ Star Wars Adventures #26

We got some answers, yet more questions, as readers learned about the tenuous and relationship between Snoke and Kylo Ren in the pages of Age of Resistance -- Supreme Leader Snoke #1.As for other Star Wars comics, we weigh in on what the two new series that are expected to start in December may encompass as we parse the August sales states that saw just one title in the top 50.This week’s Star Wars comics out Sept. 18 include:_ Doctor Aphra #36_ Star Wars: Age of Resistance -- Rey #1_ Star Wars: Age of Resistance -- Rose Tico #1_ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Menace Revealed, Vol. 2 (Reprints Dark Horse Comics' Star Wars #19-35, along with material from Dark Horse Extra #35-37, Star Wars Tales #13 and Dark Horse Presents Annual 2000)

Matthew Rosenberg provides readers with a steady stream of dialogue in the first of the five-issue Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order -- Dark Temple that pairs perfectly with Paolo Villanelli's art, Arif Prianto's colors and Joe Sabino's letters, yet we're wondering if it was too much for some readers to encompass. Regardless, the series is off to an intriguing start, sporting some nods to Star Wars literary efforts of late, as well as some, to our mind, of those in the past.In Star Wars #71, the "Rebels and Rogues" arc continues to blaze forward with three separate, yet distinctly related storylines that has Greg Pak and Phil Noto and Clayton Cowles ensuring the series' final issues are rife with intrigue, mystery and exclamations of surprise out loud.This week’s Star Wars comics out Sept. 11 include:_ Star Wars Adventures #25_ Star Wars: Age of Resistance -- Supreme Leader Snoke #1

Tom Taylor knows his audience, no one can dispute that, which is why his work on Age of Resistance -- General Hux struck a chord with fans of Kylo Ren and Brendol's prodigal son, Armitage. Then, in Age of Resistance -- Poe Dameron, he crafted a great story that tied into The Last Jedi in a near-seamless manner.As for Galaxy's Edge, the mini series that was ostensibly a tie-in to the Disney park, Ethan J. Sacks and Will Sliney took what could have been nothing more than an infomercial into a truly great stand-alone five-issue story that is likely to resonate down the Star Wars Saga timeline.Meanwhile, Charles Soule, along with Terry and Rachel Dodson, showed that a riveting story need not be lengthy, with their one-page Darth Vader appearance in Marvel #1000 capturing Darth Vader in all the right ways. Plus, it left us wanting to know more about Micha, aka Red Four!Be sure to check out artist Nick Brokenshire's works in progress for Return to Vader's Castle #3 due out in October, too.This week’s Star Wars comics out Sept. 4 include:_ Star Wars #71_ Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order -- The Dark Temple #1_ Galaxy's Edge #4 (2nd Printing)

Doctor Aphra plays both sides in her bid for freedom in Doctor Aphra #35, pitting not just the Empire against the Rebellion but also the Empire against ... the Empire?In issue #5, the concluding issue of the TIE Fighter mini series, there's plenty of devastation to go around as readers are treated to an intense dogfight in space that proves all victory is fleeting when wider events are in play.There's also details about November's Star Wars comics from Marvel as well as a brief recap on the move by Marvel to bring the flagship Star Wars comic title to an end with issue #75.This week’s Star Wars comics out this week, Aug. 28:_ Age of Resistance -- General Hux #1_ Galaxy's Edge #5_ Age of Resistance -- Poe Dameron #1_ Marvel Comics #1000 (featuring a one-page story by Charles Soule and Terry and Rachel Dodson)

Marvel's November solicits for Star Wars comics stated, matter of factly, that issue #75 is "The Final Issue" for the flagship monthly series that debuted in 2015 and has been a consistently solid seller.While the publisher offered no explanation, it did tell us to "... stay tuned for more info to come next month!" This, seemingly, means a relaunch is likely but, as to whether it will focus on The Empire Strikes Back era, Sequel Trilogy or something else is, for now, a tightly held secret.Still, we've got some thoughts about what this portends, when a relaunch could begin and what it may mean for readers and collectors. We also look at the trajectory for Doctor Aphra that was set forth in the same solicits and ponder that monthly title's fate, too.

Ever wonder about the energy and vibe of Marvel’s 1977-86 run of Star Wars comics? Read Star Wars: Target Vader #2 and you’ll experience it without having to fork over wads of cash for the original back issues or the collected editions.We’re also tackling what we think is an amazing set of stories about Breha, Leia and Padme, as well as Jaxxon and Lando Calrissian in Star Wars Adventures Annual 2019, with Young Padawans co-host Amy Wishman Nalan joining Jeff and Matt to talk about the stellar story that Pierrick Colinet, Elsa Charretier and Margaux Saltel have created.As for news, if you’re headed to Keystone Comic Con in Philadelphia this weekend, be sure to attend the Broaxium panel on Star Wars Comics and the Star Wars Rebels panel hosted by Star Wars Geek Girl.

New character Warba Calip throws Luke Skywalker for a loop -- is she down with the ways of the Jedi or just a grifter looking for an easy fall guy? -- while Dar Champion, despite the rampant corruption on his planet, has a thought or two about Leia and Han's plans to rain the Empire's rage on his home.That's the gist of Star Wars #70, our lone Star Wars comic title that's discussed in depth on this week's episode, but it's not the only thing, either.We examine the July "sales" results for Star Wars comics, discuss this week's Star Wars Adventures annual and its stories and welcome a new and unofficial Star Wars canon tracker app, HoloCanon.This week's Star Wars comics out this week, Aug. 13:_ Star Wars: Target Vader #2_ Star Wars Adventures Annual 2019

Just one comic to talk about this episode, but it hit all the right points at all the right times, which is why we think Star Wars #69 is setting the stage for a Saturday-afternoon serial through this entire arc.Then there's the news about October's Star Wars comics, including the release dates for the weekly Star Wars: Allegiance and Return to Vader's Castle mini series, not to mention a third Doctor Aphra annual.This week's Star Wars comics out this week, July 31:_ Star Wars: Age of Resistance -- Special #1_ Galaxy's Edge #4_ Galaxy's Edge #1 (3rd Printing)_ Galaxy's Edge #2 (2nd Printing)_ Galaxy's Edge #3 (2nd Printing)

We remain deeply enamored of the Doctor Aphra series, with issue #34 delivering all the right beats, while TIE Fighter #4 has us in an odd position: Rooting for the bad guys.So much new Star Wars comics news is discussed, too, particularly news that Charles Soule is taking "Ben to Ren" in December's four-issue mini series The Rise of Kylo Ren, as well as the covers for October's four-issue weekly mini series Star Wars: Allegiance and IDW Publishing's five-issue Star Wars Adventures weekly mini series Return to Vader's Castle.We've also got some amazing fancasting for a Doctor Aphra film or live-action TV series by way of Twitter's Elliemagique that left us so inspired.This week's Star Wars comics out this week, July 24:_ Star Wars #69_ Star Wars Adventures, Vol. 6, The Flight of the Falcon

Just two Star Wars comics this week, but both had plenty of material to make our discussion rather lively, what with the Rogue One, Doctor Aphra and The Clone Wars references, not to mention the smart dialogue, expansive art, lustrous colors and tight lettering and editing.We're also taking time out to offer a hearty and hale thank you and farewell to artist Angel Unzueta, whose work on last month's Star Wars #67 culminated a stretch illustrating comics in a galaxy far, far away that surpassed more than 600 pages, including a superb run on Poe Dameron, along with pages in Star Wars: Shattered Empire and, of course, Star Wars.As for news, there's Jody Houser's hopes for writing Q'ira, more developments in Project Luminous and so much more.This week's Star Wars comics out this week, July 3:_ Star Wars Adventures #23_ Star Wars: Target Vader #1_ Age of Resistance -- Finn #1_ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Newspaper Strips, Vol. 2

Farewells, hellos, sudden plot twists, long-lost lore and sudden death. This past week's Star Wars comics left no stone unturned when it came to whipsawing readers emotionally and so much more.From the final goodbye to writer Kieron Gillen as he leaves Star Wars after 30-odd issues (along with Darth Vader and Doctor Aphra, too) to the unexpected loss in TIE Fighter #3 (oh, Lyttan and Zin, we hardly knew ye) to the realization and resentment of true love in Doctor Aphra #33, these comics did not disappoint in the least.We want to thank Sarah Hendrica Bickerton, too. Her response to one of our tweets Sunday night about Doctor Aphra #33 was so compelling we felt it had to be shared, verbatim, with the listeners.As for news, the rapid sellout of four-day passes for Star Wars Celebration Anaheim left us agog. We also break down the September solitics from Marvel and IDW Publishing, cheering the return of some familiar faces both within the comics and those who create them.This week's Star Wars comics out this week, June 26:_ Star Wars #67, featuring a gorgeous Leia Organa cover Bill Sienkiewicz_ Galaxy's Edge #3_ Age of Rebellion -- Darth Vader #1_ Doctor Aphra Vol. 5, collecting the "Worst Among Equals" arc, including issues #26-31 and Annual #2

Combine mortal terror with a mild hallucinogen and what you get is Vader -- Dark Visions #5, the final issue in a mini series that came about through a long and winding process, with some supreme successes, a lot of controversy on and off the pages and and some truly amazing visuals that left us reeling in all the right ways.In news, we're eager to check out Jedi: Fallen Order -- Dark Temple this September, while John Tyler Christopher fans can buy a new Jedi Master Yoda variant from the artist's website.This week's Star Wars comics, out June 19, include:_ Star Wars #67_ Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #33_ Star Wars: TIE Fighter #3Stay in touch and up to date by following us on Twitter and Facebook.Like what you hear?

We enjoyed a rather telling story of what may have been for Luke Skywalker and the efforts that Emperor Palpatine made to try and lure the son of Vader to the Dark Side. Star Wars: Age of Rebellion -- Luke Skywalker #1 made us think while, at the same time, riveting us with its space-borne action and fighting.We also had a great conversation with artist Stephen Mooney, whose work on Vader -- Dark Visions #4 was technically acute yet emotionally evocative at the same time. Listen in as he discusses his style, his influences and why's glad his Marvel Comics debut came on a Star Wars title.We discuss the potential for a five-issue mini series that may, or may not, tie in to the just announced Jedi: Fallen Order video game and celebrate the return of Star Wars comics to the top 20, thanks to the success of Galaxy's Edge #1.This week's Star Wars comics, out June 12, include:_ Star Wars: Vader -- Dark Visions #5_ Star Wars: Age of Rebellion -- Boba Fett #1 (Second printing)_ Star Wars: Age of Rebellion -- Han Solo #1 (Second printing)Stay in touch and up to date by following us on Twitter and Facebook.Like what you hear?

Just two issues but so much to talk about, thanks to not just Vader -- Dark Visions #4, but Marvel's return to legends and lore with Star Wars #108, a sprawling, ambitious and immensely satisfying nod to the original 1977-86 run of Marvel's first volume of Star Wars.The over-sized issue is so immense that we asked Mark Paniccia, who oversees Marvel's Star Wars comics, to join us and discuss how the issue came about, what it took to shepherd the story to fruition and so much more.There's also news about Age of Rebellion second printings and more.This week's Star Wars comics, out June 5, include:_ Star Wars: Age of Rebellion -- Luke Skywalker #1_ Star Wars Adventures #22_ Star Wars -- Solo: A Star Wars Story Trade Paperback (Collects the seven-issue mini series)_ Star Wars Adventures -- Destroyer Down Digest (Collects the three-issue mini series)Stay in touch and up to date by following us on Twitter and Facebook.Like what you hear?

The Young Padawans have returned, along with Amy and Matt, to talk about the developments in Star Wars Adventures #18 and #19. Believe you, me, there is much to be said about these stories, too, with Emily and Micah weighing in what they liked most about the not one, two or three, but four stories.

A double-dose of Jabba, of sorts, as we examine the implications for the Sequel trilogy in the pages of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge #2, including a now-familiar axe that was seen in the latest images from The Rise of Skywalker.Then we travel back to the Original Trilogy with Star Wars: Age of Rebellion -- Jabba the Hutt, which sports an intriguing story about how truly good it is to be Jabba.As for news, we discuss the upcoming Princess Leia-Amilyn Holdo story in August's Star Wars Adventures #25 and the slight delay in the final issue of A Star Wars Comic.This week's Star Wars comics, out May 29, include:_ Star Wars (Vol. 1) #108_ Vader -- Dark Visions #4Stay in touch and up to date by following us on Twitter and Facebook.Like what you hear?

It's a pair of endings as we come to the end of Star Wars: Han Solo -- Imperial Cadet, along with the last installment in the Star Wars: Age of Republic titles, and neither did so meekly, but rather with deft writing, dynamic illustrations and lingering thoughts.The ending of Han Solo -- Imperial Cadet #5 sets the stage for a pair of new characters, whose stories we think will come back around sooner than later, while in Age of Republic -- General Grievous, a notorious villain is given a better foundation that will impact future viewings of Revenge of the Sith for years to come.In news, we weigh in on the facsimile edition of Star Wars #50 (Vol. 1), as well as the impending start to the Greg Pak-written Star Wars: Age of Rebellion one shots and look ahead to the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back and what it may portend for Marvel and IDW Star Wars comics.This week's Star Wars comics, out March 20, include:Solo: A Star Wars Story Adaptation #6Star Wars #63Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Old Republic Vol. 3 (collecting Knights of the Old Republic 38-50, Knights of the Old Republic -- War 1-5 and parts of Star Wars Tales #24)Stay in touch and up to date by following us on Twitter and Facebook.Like what you hear?

Three Star Wars comics from different eras of the Saga, each of one solidly executed and featuring some stellar character development, glimpses into stories already told and a rethinking of long-held perceptions of others, too.This week's podcast is focused on Age of Republic -- Padme Amidala #1, Star Wars #62 and Vader: Dark Visions #1 and the conversation is frantic and encompassing.Also drawing our interest is a new 16-page "fan made" comic, Rebel: A Rogue One Story that features a story about Jyn Erso from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Written by Ken Lowery, drawn by Gavin Guidry, colored by Addison Duke, lettered by Micah Myers and featuring a "Jyn-up" by Shawn McGuan, it's an intriguing tale.

Just a single issue this episode, but it's got enough story beats, action and verve to fill up an entire story, but that's not surprising, given how deliciously weird and wild Star Wars: Doctor Aphra has been since the character's introduction in the pages of Darth Vader, Vol. 1.As such, Doctor Aphra #29 is inarguably the best issue so far of this story arc, and we'll explain our reasoning behind our assertion. Agree? Disagree? That's OK because like this stellar comics series, it's the different approaches that make it standout with such zest. As for news, we weigh in the utter balderdash that is Marvel Comics going the way of the dodo and, also, a personal message, too.This week's Star Wars comics, out March 6, include:Star Wars: Age of Republic -- Padme Amidala #1 (One shot)Star Wars: Vader -- Dark Visions #1 (of five)Star Wars #62Stay in touch and up to date by following us on Twitter and Facebook.Like what you hear?
