A Star Wars manga! Now I can happily retire and say to myself, I've seen it all. It would be funny, wouldn't it, if the thing to finally get me into manga was a Star Wars product? What a shame it isn't so; that said, I had a fun enough time with The Edge of... Continue Reading →
I had such a great time watching the Book of Boba Fett - not only did I have the best company but I also adore spending time in that galaxy far, far away. Six hours of high-quality visuals certainly didn’t hurt my fondness for the ol’ Mouse money cow. That said, much as I wish... Continue Reading →
Previous - Hope Dies | Next After the spectacular defeat the rebels suffered at the hands of Darth Vader following Queen Trios' betrayal, our heroes are forced to scatter throughout the galaxy in search of safe haven. Luke, Leia, and Han are torn away from their friends and allies, even from the Millenium Falcon itself.... Continue Reading →
Previous - The Ashes of Jedha/Mutiny at Mon Cala | Next - The Escape Ever since he took the reins with the seventh volume of this ongoing series, The Ashes of Jedha, GIllen has been building towards something - if the last panel of Mutiny at Mon Cala provided the answer to what, Hope Dies...

Previous - Age of Republic: Villains | Next - Hope Dies I'm excited to read through the five-volume arc Gillen has done, especially after a lackluster few volumes by Jason Aaron. Kieron's Darth Vader run remains the unquestionable height to which all Star Wars titles aspire, or should. That's how good it is, yes, and... Continue Reading →
Previous - Bounty Hunters Vol. 01, Galaxy's Deadliest | Next - The Ashes of Jedha/Mutiny at Mon Cala A five-issue anthology, this was an enjoyable, well-written (if short) look at some of my favourite childhood villains from the prequel trilogy. And Jango Fett. And the robot guy with the arms. The first story chronicles the... Continue Reading →
First off, the art in this volume is by and large fine. Props to Villanelli, good work, I enjoyed looking at this book well enough. Sigh. Why do people at Marvel like the bounty hunter cyborg Beilert Valance so much? He's not an interesting character. Stormtrooper who lost more and more of his body until... Continue Reading →
Previous | Next Gah, Salvador Larocca, what did you do with Han's face?! For someone who can draw well, Larocca occasionally gets real weird with the whole...rotoscopic effect? I know rotoscoping is an animation technique and this is illustration, but I can't figure out if there's a different phrase for this. Anyway, Larocca...Han's face get... Continue Reading →
I've been curious about Yoda's Secret War for a while now. Why wouldn't I be? I love me my favourite space frog, that ancient green lad of fine repute. The war itself, alas, is not altogether my cup of tea. Someone must've pointed out the Mad Max/Earthbender nonsense going on here, and if they did,... Continue Reading →
In search of respite from Jason Aaron's 2015-2018 Doctor Strange run, I've at last decided to take once more on the endless, thankless task that is my weekend column, SUNDAY STAR WARS. There will always be some piece of Star Wars media that steals away my attention for forty-five minutes a week, and I like... Continue Reading →
The Grimoire Reliquary
