Podcast appearances and mentions of Steven Cummings

Star Wars: Beyond Victory #1, a Star Wars Celebration Japan exclusive, serves as a prequel for the upcoming MetaQuest Star Wars: Beyond Victory -- A Mixed-Reality Playset.The one-shot, written by Ethan Sacks, with art by Steven Cummings, Will Sliney, Shogo Aoki, Rachelle Rosenberg and VC's Joe Caramagna, sets up the story of Volo Bolus, a podracer with an eye toward the prize and who draws the attention of now-disgraced racer Sebulba (yep, the one from The Phantom Menace).What follows is a fast-paced race on Batuu, a solid backstory and a positioning for the gaming -- and storytelling -- to come in the Beyond Victory software.Whether the comic will get a wider release is unlikely, given specialty issues like these seldom do and we think it's unlikely a digital release or inclusion in a trade paperback isn't in the cards, either, meaning if you want to get a copy, the secondary market is poised to be your only choice. So far, 10 copies of have been sold on eBay, ranging from $25-$303. Another nine copies are still up for grabs, with prices ranging from $50-$219.We got our copy thanks to Kelly Knox, a writer of renown, and known for her work on the StarWars.com website. We're immensely grateful to her for acquiring a copy of the issue for us and sending it our way.Comics Discussed This Week:Star Wars: Beyond VIctory #1 Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku -- Last Stand #4 (of 4)A New Legacy #1 One-ShotJedi Knights #1The High Republic -- Fear of the Jedi #1Legacy of Vader #1News: Free Comic Book Day is May 3 and features titles from Marvel (Star Wars) and Dark Horse (Young Jedi Adventures).Upcoming Star Wars comics, graphic novels and omnibuses:April 29 _ Crash Zone TPB (Collects Crash Landing, Crash and Burn and the 2025 The High Republic Adventures Phase III Annual), Crimson Reign Omnibus (Collects 1-5, Star Wars 19-25, Bounty Hunters 18-24, Darth Vader 18-24 and Doctor Aphra 16-21)April 30 _ The High Republic Adventures Phase III #17, The High Republic Adventures Phase III -- The Battle of Eriadu One-Shot, The High Republic -- Fear of the Jedi #3 (of 5), The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation #3 (of 5), Codebreaker #1 (of 4)May 3 _ Star Wars Free Comic Book Day #1, Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures Free Comic Book Day #1May 6 _ Star Wars: Ahsoka — Season One TPB (Collects 1-8), Darth Maul: Black, White & Red Treasury Editions (Collects 1-4)May 7 _ Star Wars (Vol. IV) #1, The Bad Batch -- Ghost Agents #3 (of 5)May 14 _Jedi Knights #3May 20 _ The High Republic Adventures Phase III Vol. 3 TPB (Collects 11-13, Wedding Spectacular One-Shot)May 21 _ The High Republic Adventures Phase III #18, Legacy of Vader #4, The High Republic — Fear of the Jedi #4 (of 5)May 28 _ The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation #4 (of 5)June 3 _ The Battle of Jakku TPB (Collects Insurgency Rising 1-4,  Republic Under Seige 1-4, Last Stand 1-4)June 4 _ Jedi Knights #4, The High Republic — Fear of the Jedi #5 (of 5)June 11 _ Star Wars #2, The Rise of Skywalker adapation #5 (of 5), The Bad Batch -- Ghost Agents #4 (of 5)June 17 _ Star Wars Legends: The Rebellion Omnibus Vol. 3 (Collects Star Wars: Shadow Stalker (1997) 1, Star Wars: Rebel Heist (2014) 1-4, Star Wars: A Valentine Story (2003) 1, Classic Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1994) 1-2, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (1996) 1-6, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire Mini-comic (1996) 1-2, Star Wars: Tales From Mos Eisley (1996) 1, Star Wars: The Bounty Hunters – Scoundrel's Wages (1999) 1, Classic Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1994) 1-2, Star Wars: Tag & Bink Are Dead (2001) 2, Star Wars: Tag & Bink II (2006) 1, Sergio Aragones Stomps Star Wars (2000) 1, Star Wars Infinities: The Empire Strikes Back (2002) 1-4, Star Wars Infinities: Return of the Jedi (2003) 1-4;

Star Wars Celebration Japan has come and gone and since there's no new Star Wars comics this week, we break down the key comics news that was made the semiannual event celebrating all thing Star Wars.One thing that was notable was convention-exclusive Star Wars: Beyond Victory #1 by Ethan Sacks, Steven Cummings, Will Sliney and Shogo Aoki, with a cover by Phil Noto.

It serves as prequel story to the Meta Quest experience "Star Wars: Beyond Victory -- A Mixed Reality Playset." So far (as of April 23), four copies are on eBay, with one at $305.

The Bad Batch continues the pursuit of its mysterious subject, one whom we learn -- if actions are any indication -- is a person not to be trifled with in the least. Dark Horse Comics' Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch -- Ghost Agents #2 (of 5) is a funny and action-laden installment that propels the five-issue mini-series ever onward and upward.Comics Discussed This Week:Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch -- Ghost Agents #2 (of 5)Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku -- Last Stand #1 (of 4)News: Marvel's solicit for the Fear of the Jedi TPB Includes the as-yet unnannounced Star Wars: The High Republic -- The Finale one-shot.

Rodney Barnes returns to Star Wars comics with his second series this year, adaptating the Ahoska Disney+ TV show.

(29.11.2019) Mať cit pre odchod v správnom čase je vzácna vlastnosť. Nie každý dokáže vycítiť, kedy prišiel správny moment na zmenu. Rovnako je to aj v cyklistike. Niekto odíde krátko po nezabudnuteľnej sezóne ako Marcel Kittel a iní zasa splynú s pelotónom a odovzdávajú svoje skúsenosti mladším ešte dlhé sezóny. Profesionálnu cyklistiku tento rok neopúšťajú veľký Grand Tour lídri, ale menoslov obsahuje viaceré veľké persóny. Medzi nimi aj Stijn Devolder, Mathew Hayman, Mark Renshaw, Simon Špilak, Daniele Bennati, Steven Cummings alebo Laurens ten Dam. Foto: EPA

Tom and John do an in depth review of WayWard Volume 1 from Image Comics and the team of Jim Zub and Steven Cummings. They also talk about history repeating itself for Marvel Comics and the self destructive corporate business practices they can't seem to get away from. All this and more in another episode of Image Indy Comic Book Reviews!

Plots was daar een Pyrenee, en een Brit die ’m beklom. Steven Cummings won de etappe voor Team Dimension Data, die al drie keer eerder champagne hadden gehad. Greg van Avermaet mag ook een slokje, want die koos - in de geest van Cruijff - voor de aanval als beste verdediging van z’n gele trui. En wat gebeurde er eigenlijk voor spannends met Adam Yates, daar bij de ingestorte kilometerboog? Dank aan Hetiskoers.nl en Johnny Wonder voor de redactionele en productionele ondersteuning.

Our own Adam Shaw (Talking Valiant podcast) had the chance to sit down with Jim Zub (writer) and Steven Cummings (artist), the creative team behind Wayward, in a pub just outside Tokyo. Because they live on opposite sides of the planet, this was a rare chance to get both Zub and Cummings in the same room at the same time to talk about Wayward. They talk about how they got started in comics, what lead to them collaborating on the series, and what goes in to making each issue. Jim even goes into what it is like working on a creator own series versus a licensed brand.

Under the Comic Covers is exceptionally happy to share our first interview with the almost complete creative team (sans letterer and essayist) behind one of our favorite books, Wayward. We are joined by writer Jim Zub, artist Steve Cummings, and colorist Tamra Bonvillain as we discuss their process, the various inspirations behind the art and the story, as well as hints as to what's to come in the upcoming arc beginning November 18th. Take a look at an upcoming panel of Steven Cumming's pencils... http://jimzub.tumblr.com/post/131961653560/a-special-sneak-peek-at-line-art-from-wayward-13 ... not his inks, his pencils... and listen to the interview to understand why this is so spectacular.
