At last, The High Republic -- The Nameless Terror #1 (of 4) is in comic shops. Was it worth the wait?Yes, very much so.Will it be difficult to wait almost two months until issue #2 is released?Yes, if #1 is anything to go by, since George Mann, Eduardo Mello, Ornella Savarese, Studio RAM, Matt Dryer, Sanjay Dharawat, Stephen Reichert and Samantha Hummer have delivered a crackling debut issue that ties into The High Republic mythology with ease while creating an aura of suspense.In Yoda #4 (of 10), writer Jody Houser returns to the galaxy a long time ago, reteaming with artist Luke Ross for a three-issue arc that features Yoda in a story set before the Prequel Trilogy and featuring Jedi Master Dooku. THey're joined by color artist Nolan Woodard and letter Joe Caramagna of Virtual Caligraphy.It's a well-paced start that gives us more elements of the Count before his faith in the Jedi was lost and features a trio of young Padawans -- a togorian, wookiee and trandoshan -- that echoes Dooku's own relationship with SIfo-Dyas. Astute readers will recognize a key event in this issue from the pages of Age of Republic: Count Dooku #1. That issue has more emotional heft now.Finally, in Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2) #29, Aphra finds herself in an unusual spot: Completely oblvious to the Spark's dire plans. The story by Alyssa Wong, artist Natacha Bustos, color artist Rachelle Rosenberg and letter Joe Caramagna, blends long-ago history with the effort by Chelli's friends to come to her rescue in a brisk story.

Only love can, and will, break your heart, as Valance learns in the pages of Bounty Hunters #31 with his hope for a quiet life with Jyala brutally erased. It's T'onga who steps up to carry him away in a bid to find some sort of peace, be it inner or outer, though it's clear than an inferno is brewing.In Star Wars #31, Amilyn Holdo gives new meaning to "the Holdo Maneuver," as she, Luke, Leia, Lando, Chewie and Lobot find themselves mystified yet intrigued by the No-Space locale and the history of a long-dead Jedi from The High Republic Era.Be sure share this week's episode on social media and, if you haven't, leave a review wherever you get your podcasts.

Years of close-quarter living erupt as the powder keg that is Jedha City finally ignites in The High Republic (Vol. 2) #5 (of 10) in an issue that features several key first appearances and is better understood if you've listened to (or read) George Mann's The Battle of Jedha.Hidden Empire #3 (of 5) ties into events from Darth Vader (Vol. 2), as well as Crimson Reign and the first Lando mini-series as Chanath Cha and the Orphans take him on with results that left us surprised.Finally, in Darth Vader (Vol. 3) #31, Anakin/Vader tries to right what seems to be the biggest mistake of his life as seeks to press the Handmaidens into his -- and the Empire's -- service as they strive to rescue Sabe from Jul Tambor.Be sure share this week's episode on social media and, if you haven't, leave a review wherever you get your podcasts.Comics out today and broken down on this week's episode:_ The High Republic #5 (of 10) (14:29)_ Hidden Empire #3 (of 5) (28:40)_ Darth Vader (Vol. 3) #31 (43:14)Star Wars Comics on Marvel Unlimited This Week:_ Star Wars #29 _ Bounty Hunters #28 _ The Mandalorian #5 (of 8)News:_ Dark Horse will collect IDW's The High Republic Adventures 13-issue series in a TPB due for release in August.

Yoda pulls an all-too familiar Jedi move by walking away when the results aren't what was expected yet pulls a humility shocker by returning to the Scalvi people he abandoned in Yoda #3 (of 4). In The Blade #2 (of 4), Porter Engle and Barash play it cool and level-headed, to a certain point, as a siege situation quickly spirals out of control. In Doctor Aphra #28, Sana Starros and the crew learn the finer points of corporate raiding and takeovers as Domina Tagge shows why any acquisition, no matter how hostile, is nothing but smoke and mirrors.Comics out today and broken down on this week's episode:_ Yoda #3 (of 10) (9:58)_ The Blade #2 (of 4) (28:08)_ Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2) #28 (49:28)Star Wars Comics on Marvel Unlimited This Week:_ Darth Vader (Vol. 3) #28News_ Marvel's Doctor Aphra Series is among the nominees for the 34th GLAAD Awards in the Outstanding Comic Book Category._ April solicits are out for Marvel and Dark Horse.

After five books the week prior, we're down to just one new Star Wars comic this week -- Star Wars (Vol. 3) #30 -- but the lone title has much to offer in terms of advancing the story arc as well as linking to Lucasfilm's ambitious new era, The High Republic.Featuring classic Original Trilogy stalwarts, Lando, Leia, Luke and Chewbacca, along with the Sequel Trilogy's Amilyn Holdo, the Rebels are adrift in No-Space in a bid to find fuel for the Rebellion. What transpires is a confrontation with Nihil droids and a surprising final page that leads into the next issue.Comics out today and broken down on this week's episode:_ Star Wars #30 (6:01)_ The High Republic #2 (2nd Printing)_ The Mandalorian #5 (2nd Printing)Star Wars Comics on Marvel Unlimited This Week:_ Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2) #24_ Han Solo & Chewbaca #6 (of 10)News_ It's a new year!Upcoming Star Wars comics, TPBs and omnibus editions:Jan. 10 _ Darth Vader (Vol. 3), Vol. 5: The Shadow's Shadow TPB (Collects #23-27Jan. 11 _ Darth Vader #30, The Mandalorian #7 (of 8), The High Republic #4 (of 10), The High Republic Adventures #2 (of 8), Hidden Empire #1 (2nd Printing)Jan. 18 _ Bounty Hunters #30, Han Solo & Chewbacca #9 (of 10), Revelations #1 (2nd Printing), Yoda #1 (2nd Printing)Jan. 24 _ Star Wars Legends: The New Republic Vol. 1 Omnibus (Collects Star Wars: Mara Jade - By the Emperor's Hand #0-6, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire - Evolution #1-5, Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Leader #1-3, Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron #1-35, Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron Special #1, Star Wars Handbook #1 and material from Star Wars Tales #10, 12, 15, 23)Jan. 25 _ The Blade #2 (of 4), Doctor Aphra #28, Yoda #3 (of 10), The High Republic Adventures #3 (of 8)Jan. 31 _ Doctor Aphra Omnibus, Vol. 1 (2nd Printing) (Collects Doctor Aphra (Vol. 1), #1-40; Annuals #1-3; Darth Vader (2015) #3-4, 8, 21, 25; Star Wars (2015) #13, 19, #31-32; The Screaming Citadel #1; and material from Empire Ascendant #1); Bounty Hunters, Vol. 5 "The Raid on the Vermillion" TPB (Collects #23-28)Feb. 1 _ Sana Starros #1 (of 5), Hyperspace Stories #4 (of 12)Feb. 7 _ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Menace Revealed, Vol. 3 (Collects Star Wars #36-45, Star Wars: Jedi Quest #1-4, Star Wars: Jango Fett #1, Star Wars: Zam Wesell #1)Feb. 8 _ The High Republic #5, Hidden Empire #3, Darth Vader #31Feb. 15 _ Star Wars #31, Bounty Hunters #31, The Mandalorian #8 (of 8), Hyperspace Stories #5 (of 12)Feb. 22 _ The Blade #3 (of 4), Doctor Aphra #29, Yoda #4 (of 10), The High Republic Adventures #4 (of 8), The Nameless Terror #1 (of 4)March 1 _ The High Republic Adventures -- Quest of the Jedi #1 One-Shot, Star Wars #32, Hidden Empire #4 (of 5), Han Solo & Chewbacca #10 (of 10)March 7 _ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Old Republic, Vol. 5, TPB (Collects Star Wars: Knight Errant 1-5, Knight Errant -- Deluge 1-5, Knight Errant -- Escape 1-5, Star Wars: Jedi vs. Sith 1-6 and material from Star Wars Tales #16)March 8 _ Bounty Hunters #32, Sana Starros #2 (of 5), The High Republic #6 (of 10)March 14 _ Star Wars Legends: The Rebellion Omnibus Vol. 1.

Como habrán notado el más reciente vicio de Joey no parece estar cediendo nada de espacio, por lo que no hay garantía alguna de que podamos tener pronto enlaces con el audio oficial del programa tal y como lo graba Lorna desde la consola. Personalmente estoy escuchando los programas gracias al audio que Mr. Mxyzptlk hace el favor de enviarme incluso antes de ponerlo en los comentarios, y gracias a eso puedo adelantar estos posts sin necesidad de esperar a que Joey pueda cerrar Arkham City el tiempo necesario para subir el programa y enviarme el enlace. Aquí les dejo los enlaces de las grabaciones que amablemente hacen Mr. Mxyzptlk y nuestros amigos de Comicorp. En cuanto reciba el audio "oficial" lo incluiré aquí junto con el reproductor, tal y como hice con el programa anterior.Enlace ComicorpEnlace Mr. MxyzptlkAhora si, la versión oficial...Enlace de descargaEste año se está yendo más rápido de lo que esperábamos, y este es ya el tercer programa del mes de febrero, séptimo del año, y sexto consecutivo que cuenta con la participación de Paco, quien parece ser que ahora si regresó para quedarse. Joey llegó con unos minutos de retraso a la estación, razón por la que los agradecimientos y saludos del comienzo fueron un poco más breves, pues Paco los hace de una manera un poco más rápida que cuando están los dos.A iniciativa del mismo Paco los muchachos decidieron dar salida a algunos comentarios del blog y reiteraron la invitación a quienes hayan hecho alguna pregunta por este medio que haya quedado sin responder a que la repitan en la entrada más reciente del blog para que la puedan localizar rápidamente y darle salida. Personalmente les recomiendo esperen, de ser posible, hasta el martes o miércoles por la mañana para ponerlo en la entrada más reciente, o en su defecto no permitir que quede más atrás del último programa, que es hasta donde seguramente revisarán en busca de pendientes.Y empezando con los pendientes, una tangencial desviación provocada por un comentario los llevó a hablar primero de la excelente serie animada The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, misma que nos tiene ansiosamente esperando el estreno de la segunda temporada en abril próximo, y de ahí a la macro-serie Avengers Forever, escrita por Kurt Busiek con ayuda de Roger Stern, e ilustrada magistralmente por Carlos Pacheco y Jesús Merino. Esa serie muestra a Rick Jones creando un equipo de Vengadores de diversas épocas para que lo ayuden a combatir a Immortus.Una pregunta rescatada del blog fue en referencia a la miniserie de ciencia ficción We3, escrita por Grant Morrison e ilustrada por Frank Quitely y publicada bajo el sello Vertigo en 2004 y coleccionada en un solo tomo poco tiempo después. La pregunta fue expresamente dirigida a Joey, pero dado que se trata de un comic que no incluye hombres en mallas el señor no la ha leído. Paco si, y a regañadientas accedió a responder la pregunta sobre si la serie era buena con un rotundo si, y estoy completamente de acuerdo con él.La historia sigue a tres animales, un perro, un gato y un conejo, que escapan de un laboratorio donde se estaba experimentando con ellos para convertirlos en armas. Llamados Bandit, Tinker y Pirate, o 1, 2 y 3, respectivamente, los tres animales poseen sofisticadas armaduras llenas de armas y pueden hablar limitadamente gracias a implantes en sus cerebros. Como dato curioso, Grant Morrison ha dado a entender en entrevistas que los tres animales formarían parte del mismo programa que dio origen al Capitán América, Wolverine y Fantomex.Como comentario al margen, Joey se metió en camisa de once varas al hacer comentarios que harán que todos los amantes de las mascotas lo odien un poco o de menos sientan deseos de zapearlo, pero creo que no lo hizo de mala fe y al final aclaró su postura, haciéndola un poco menos inflamable.Parece que no hay programa en que no se mencione a Brian Michael Bendis, y esta vez no fue la excepción, pues se volvió a criticar su exasperante costumbre de alargar de manera innecesaria y aparentemente interminable la mayoría de las historias que escribe, así como su tendencia a ignorar la personalidad de algunos personajes de manera caprichosa. Pero para variar un poco la cosa, en esta ocasión también se le elogió lo hecho en series propias antes de que Marvel decidiese poner en sus manos a los Avengers.Entre las cosas que se recomendaron de su bibliografía están Jinx, Goldfish, Torso (co-escrita con Marc Andreyko), Sam and Twitch y, por supuesto, Powers. Jinx trata sobre una caza-recompensas de origen hispano, Goldfish es un criminal de poca monta, Torso está basada en el caso real del primer asesino serial en la historia de los Estados Unidos, quien, por cierto, fue investigado y perseguido por Elliot Ness antes de dedicarse a cazar a Al Capone en Chicago. Sam and Twitch son una pareja de policías salidos de las páginas de Spawn, y Powers trata sobre una pareja de detectives de policía especializados en casos que involucran superhumanos.Si algo queda claro viendo la temática de sus mejores trabajos, es que Bendis funciona mucho mejor escribiendo detectives, policías y delincuentes, y que su participación en series de superhéroes debiera mantenerse al mínimo posible. A esas series yo agregaría Alias, que sigue las aventuras de Jessica Jones, una ex-super heroína que al perder sus poderes se convirtió en detective privado en el Universo Marvel, y Fortune and Glory: A True Hollywood Comic Book Story, donde cuenta sus desventuras al intentar convertirse en guionista de cine en Hollywood. Y si de superhéroes se trata, creo que su mejor trabajo a la fecha sigue siendo lo que hizo en las páginas de Daredevil.Al llegar a la parte intermedia del programa es cuando las cosas suelen ponerse divertidas, y en esta ocasión todo comenzó cuando un escucha quiso saber más acerca de la serie Brave and the Bold, y como es que se las arreglaban para que todo el Universo DC pudiera participar en ella sin convertirse en una pesadilla de continuidad. La respuesta fue de lo más simple: a nadie le importaba. Las historias eran en general bastante malas, aún si muchas contaban con grandes artistas.La serie existía mayormente para explotar la popularidad de Batman, y a nadie preocupaba que sus encuentros con la Legión de Superhéroes o con los personajes mágicos o sobrenaturales del Universo DC pudiesen tener en la continuidad de sus títulos o de los de otros personajes. Esa misma premisa de tener al encapotado haciendo equipo con toda clase de héroes funciona muy bien en la serie animada, pero los comics no eran realmente buenos.Hubo entonces que dar salida a una trivia especial a fin de que el número de Superman for All Seasons que Alex Cruz no quiso encontrase un nuevo hogar, así que se hizo una pregunta para ser respondida telefónicamente. Paco no fue lo suficientemente específico al hacer la pregunta y eso causó un poco de confusión, pero finalmente Mr. X pudo dar completa la respuesta correcta para llevarse a casa el comic que Alex Cruz despreció.La trivia para el comic que La Quinta Dimensión regaló esta semana fue especial y diferente. Se trató del número 51 de la serie de Star Wars publicada por Marvel a finales de los 1970s y principios de los 80s, lo que puso a los muchachos en un dilema, pues es bien sabido que las trivias de Joey son demasiado rebuscadas y no pueden ser respondidas tan fácilmente, en tanto que el Sr. Espinosa es conocido como un amargado "crítico" detractor de Star Wars. La solución fue hacer preguntas sobre series de TV de ciencia ficción que si son de su agrado, como Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, y Firefly.La respuesta de los escuchas fue más pobre que en trivias anteriores, pues seguramente no a todos les pareció atractiva la idea de agregar a su colección un viejo comic de Star Wars que no forma parte del canon oficial de la saga. Sin duda lo más atractivo del número en cuestión es el equipo creativo, formado por David Michelinie y Walt Simonson.Tras un breve debate ocasionado por una letra excedente en la primera respuesta recibida, que fue de Karmix,  y dado que posteriormente Lyoko contestó de manera correcta, Mr. Mxyzptlk sirvió como juez para determinar que Karmix era el ganador, además de que Lyoko tuvo el buen gesto de renunciar a la controversia bajo el argumento de que él ganó recientemente en otra de las trivias, para coraje del buen Paquito, y que creía justo que el premio se lo llevara en esta ocasión alguien que no hubiese ganado antes, más aún siendo que era un buen amigo.Volviendo a las preguntas de la audiencia, alguien quería saber más acerca de Hulk y sus diferentes coloraciones a lo largo de los años. Joey hizo un breve resumen de la historia del personaje desde su origen hasta mediados de los 1980s, cuando la serie fue tomada por John Byrne. A partir de ahí los muchachos se deshicieron en elogios. todos ellos justos y merecidos, para el extraordinario trabajo que Peter David hizo con el personaje por poco más de una década. Hace varios meses ya habíamos comentado tanto en el programa como en el blog mucho de lo que hizo David durante su tiempo en la serie, destacando incluso un número en el que Paco quiso hacer incapié en esta ocasión.Otra desviación tangencial del tema los llevó a hablar un poco más del autor, Peter David, quien empezó su carrera en los comics, y en Marvel en particular, como ejecutivo de ventas. Cuando James Owsley (mejor conocido en el medio como Christopher Priest) se convirtió en el editor de los títulos de Spider-man, decidió comprar a David, a quien conoció tiempo antes, cuando era editor asistente, su primer guión. Este apareció publicado en el número 103 de The Spectacular Spider-man y, coincidentemente, se trata de la historia mencionada por Joey donde tres estudiantes deciden practicar algunos juegos mentales con Spider-man.La buena recepción de la historia convenció a Owsley de comprar más guiones de David, lo que permitió que viese la luz una de las mejores historias de Spidey jamás publicadas: La Muerte de Jean DeWolff. Esta historia corrió en la misma serie entre los números 107 y 110, y se trata de una de las historias más humanas y memorables en la carrera del arácnido héroe. Jean DeWolff era una capitán de policía que a lo largo de colaborar con él en varias ocasiones había desarrollado una amistad con Spider-man.Lo que hace diferente a su muerte de las de otros personajes a lo largo de los años, es que no se dio a manos de ningún supervillano ni fue resultado de una catástrofe provocada por una pelea entre superseres, si no que se convirtió en una víctima más de un asesino serial. David siguió vendiendo historias a Owsley por varios meses más, viéndolas publicadas tanto en el mencionado Spectacular Spider-man, como en Web of Spider-man y The Amazing Spider-man.Lamentablemente Owsley fue presionado por Jim Shooter, entonces editor en jefe de Marvel, para que dejara de publicar historias de David, pues aparentemente no estaba de acuerdo con que el talentoso escritor siguiese trabajando en el departamento de ventas mientras vendía historias. Afortunadamente Shooter abandonó la editorial poco tiempo después y Bob Harras, su reemplazo, le ofreció a David la oportunidad de convertirse en el escritor regular de The Incredible Hulk, pues era un título que nadie más quería escribir. El resto es historia.Con el tiempo encima los muchachos realizaron algunas recomendaciones express de títulos que no fuesen de superhéroes, pero lo hicieron sin poder detenerse a platicar más a fondo acerca de las series en cuestión. Entre las mencionadas están The Losers, de Andy Digle y Jock, que sigue a un grupo militar de fuerzas especiales traicionado por su gobierno; Scalped, de Jason Aaron y R.M. Guéra, que cuenta sobre los miembros de una tribu de nativos americanos que lidia en su reservación con problemas modernos, como cobreza y alcoholismo, intrigas políticas y crimen organizado; y DMZ, de Brian Wood con arte de él mismo y de Riccardo Burchielli, que ocurre en un futuro cercano donde la isla de Manhattan es una zona des-militarizada (de ahí el título, De-Militarized Zone) en medio de la Segunda Guerra Civil Norteamericana. Todas ellas son muy recomendables y se consiguen fácilmente en TPBs.Solo me resta recordarles que también se reveló cual será el regalo que, por cortesía de Mr. Mxyzptlk y La Quinta Dimensión, Comiconexión entregará la próxima semana con una de sus acostumbradas trivias: el número 2 de la excelente miniserie Legends, primer crossover en DC post-Crisis en las Tierras Infinitas y obra del extraordinario equipo creativo formado por Len Wein, John Ostrander, John Byrne y Karl Kesel.Ojalá puedan escuchar el programa y se animen a participar.Hasta la próxima.
