Phillip and Eric are exploiting the algorithm this week by talking Star Wars while it's still hot, but not the Star Wars anyone expected. They're going over the obscure comic Dark Empire by Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy, set after Return of the Jedi featuring a resurrected Palpatine when it was still original. They talk about its trippy art and color scheme by Cam Kennedy, its lackluster writing and pacing by comparison, and their shared hatred of The Rise of Skywalker and toxic Star Wars fans who hate The Last Jedi.
When Marvel let their license to produce Star Wars comics lapse in 1986, Return of the Jedi was three years in the rear-view mirror and it seemed possible there would never be any further installments in the franchise. But Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy's 1991 miniseries Dark Empire would begin Dark Horse Comics' 23-year run of Star Wars comics and help launch the Expanded Universe. Set six years after the Battle of Endor, Dark Empire sees Luke Skywalker tempted to the Dark Side by the newly revived Emperor, Han Solo and Leia Organa fleeing bounty hunters, and a new Imperial doomsday weapon threatening the galaxy. We'll look at the long and rocky development of the series, how involved (or not) Lucasfilm was in the story, and how it compares to its prose sister project, Timothy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy. This is the only podcast where you can hear two grown men arguing (politely) about Star Wars!Support the podcast at patreon.com/ironageofcomics

Dark Empire: Another Sean Combs Lawsuit Unfolds Sean Combs, once one of the most powerful figures in the music industry, now finds himself at the center of another devastating lawsuit. This time, former reality show contestant Kendra Haffoney has come forward with allegations that she was drugged and sexually assaulted by Combs during her time on VH1's I Want to Work for Diddy in 2007. According to her lawsuit filed in Manhattan, what started as a career opportunity quickly turned into a nightmare. Haffoney says her interactions with Combs were infrequent at first but became more consistent as the competition progressed. Then, one night, she was invited to an afterparty, where she claims she was given a drink that left her feeling “delirious.” According to her lawsuit, Combs then allegedly forced her to perform oral sex while she was in a weakened state, rendering her unable to resist. Haffoney says she ultimately lost consciousness and woke up in the show's cast house with Combs sitting at the foot of her bed. The lawsuit details that when she awoke, she felt weak, disoriented, and in pain. Haffoney says she immediately knew she had been assaulted but felt powerless to speak up. She alleges that she continued with the show despite her trauma, suffering in silence out of fear and shame. Her claims don't end in New York—Haffoney also states that Combs subjected her to further sexual misconduct in California while the show was filming. Her lawsuit is just one of many filed against Combs in recent months, with accusers coming forward to describe alleged assaults spanning decades. These lawsuits have been made possible in part due to a New York City law that allows victims of gender-motivated violence to file claims beyond the standard statute of limitations. With the lookback window set to close on March 1, multiple individuals have come forward with accusations against the disgraced mogul. Combs' representatives deny the claims, calling them “meritless” and arguing that the plaintiffs are taking advantage of the temporary extension in legal deadlines. However, the sheer volume of allegations tells a different story. In addition to Haffoney's case, at least three more lawsuits were filed on the same day. One of those cases, filed by Aristalia Benitez, alleges that in 1995, Combs drugged her during a dinner while she was a student at NYU. She claims she blacked out and later woke up in a cab, feeling as though she had been raped. Another accuser, Leslie Cockrell, says that in 1999, Combs gave her a drink at a Hamptons party, causing her to lose consciousness. When she awoke, she alleges he was on top of her, assaulting her. Adding to the disturbing allegations, a man named Justin Gooch claims that in 1999, when he was just 16 years old, Combs provided him with ecstasy, alcohol, and ketamine before allegedly pushing him down and raping him at a nightclub. And the lawsuits keep coming—a male escort from Florida filed a complaint just the day before, accusing Combs of sexual assault in 2012. These civil lawsuits are piling up while Combs also faces federal criminal charges for racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Prosecutors allege that Combs led a criminal enterprise that engaged in a range of illicit activities, including drug distribution, kidnapping, and arson, all while using his power and influence to silence victims. If convicted, Combs could spend the rest of his life in prison. With each new case, a clearer picture emerges: one of a man who allegedly used his wealth and fame to prey on the vulnerable for decades, believing he would never face consequences. But now, as the legal system begins to catch up with him, his once untouchable empire is crumbling. #SeanCombs #Lawsuit #VH1 #MeToo Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Zeen and Lula reach a milestone decision in the pages of Dark Horse's The High Republic Adventures Phase III #5, as the first arc of the comic comes to an end, yet sets up what's likely to be a dynamic run through issues 6-10. In Darth Maul: Black, White & Red #1 (of 4), the Sith apprentice contends with an almost Lovecraftian-like horror and inner madness that evokes a Guillermo del Toro film. It's dark and trippy and what Star Wars would be like if it were in the Hellraiser universe. Finally, Jango Fett seemingly makes some headway in his latest job for the Republic, as the plot thickens around the theft of the Hope of Gleen Anselm. Jango Fett #2 (of 4) is the organic prequel to Bounty Hunters and, based on this issue alone, is worthy of being turned into a monthly series.Comics Discussed This Week:Darth Maul: Black, White & Red #1 (of 4) (10:45)Jango Fett #2 (of 4) (20:53)The High Republic Adventures Phase III #5 (44:20)Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:Bounty Hunters #42Obi-Wan Kenobi #3The High Republic Phase III #3News: Dark Horse will publish a new, likely four issue, The HighRepublic Adventures mini-series in August.

During the dark times, on the heels of the Star Wars Special Edition, circa early 90's Dark Horse comics got the rights to create new #StarWars stories. Dark Empire was set some time after the events of the Return of the Jedi giving fans a taste of a sequel story before the sequels we now know. Many things have been said about this series of stories. Dani and Ro take a deep dive into the first set of stories. We explore some similar themes to the sequel trilogy and rediscover what worked and what didn't. PLUS, some voicemails from the Twitterverse. Thank you. If you want to read the Dark Empire comics shoot us an email or hit us up on Twitter. We are part of the Red5Network. Look for the rest of the team at bio.link/Red5 That's the scuttlebutt
We open with a remembrance by Jeff of singer/songwriter Michael Knott, an artist who had an outsized influence on him. It's a touching tribute and worth your time.Then we break down the latest Star Wars comics news (8:45) and dive into Thrawn Alliances #3, Star Wars Visions: Takashi Okazaki #1, The High Republic Phase III #5 and last, but not least, Jango Fett #1, which marks writer Ethan J. Sacks' return to a galaxy far, far away.Comics Discussed This Week:Thrawn Alliances #3 (of 4) (15:00)Star Wars Visions: Takashi Okazaki #1 (20:36)The High Republic Phase III #5 (27:07)Jango Fett #1 (of 4) (48:06)Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:Bounty Hunters #41The High Republic: Shadows of Starlight #3 (of 4)News: Marvel's Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2) won outstanding comic series at the 35th annual GLAAD awards.

That makes us sad.Cavan Scott, in his newsletter, reveals the title and artist for The High Republic Phase III #9 in reponse to a question by Matt. So we know it's at least 10 issues.Dark Horse Comics will collect all the IDW Vader's Castle comics in a deluxe, oversized libray edition hardcover, including the "Droid Hunters" story from 2019's Free Comic Book Day issue.

Liam and Sanak go live to discuss The Bad Batch Season 3 Episode 6 "Infiltration" and The Bad Batch Season 3 Episode 7 " Extraction"! We'll also be hosting a Live Q&A where we take your questions, comments, and theories about this week's episodes as well as the future episodes of Season 3! We restarted our discussion on the following comment after 1:05:40 due to another audio error, which we have cut out, but otherwise the recording is still sound! We are revamping our setup this weekend to avoid this issue from recurring again. Below is a summary of Liam's final point before audio error- Dark Empire from Legends/EU came before midichlorians were first explained, and the story had trouble balancing force spirits and force science together. The Bad Batch is working on the same idea of dark side force user cloning as applied to The Rise of Skywalker, and the promise of Omega and the overall The Bad Batch story's contribution to Palpatine's cloning efforts. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/starwarslads/support

Bounty Hunters ended on Jan. 17 with issue #42. It Marked more than four years of stories in the seedy underbelly of the Star Wars galaxy and all of them were written by Ethan Sacks, from the first preview in Empire Ascendent back in December 2019 to the final issue of the series. We broke down how the series came about, its high (and low) points and how Sacks and Paolo Villanelli (artist on 31 issues) worked in lockstep to elevate Beilert Valance and the bounty-hunting crew to an elevated status in Star Wars as a whole, not to mention the fan base -- Valance Nation -- that was with them every step of the way. We also learned some interesting tidbits about the series and roads not taken, including a scuppered series that would have seen Valance leading an Imperial TIE squadron (thanks, pandemic.)Comics Discussed This Week:Bounty Hunters.
