GALAXY'S EDGE [2019] #1

This looks pretty cool. Definitely worth checking out for any Star Wars fan. “A CALL TO ADVENTURE ON THE VERY EDGE OF THE GALAXY. THE COMIC TIE-IN TO THE THEME PARK. BLACK SPIRE OUTPOST has long been frequented by smugglers, merchants and travelers from every corner of the galaxy looking to make their score on the infamous black market – or experience the exotic thrills only the remote world of Batuu has to offer. Beings like the infamous DOK-ONDAR, a proprietor of rare and one-of-a-kind antiquities, thrive on the unique opportunities which abound on the lawless outpost at the very edge of Wild Space. But the evil FIRST ORDER has come to Batuu and the survival of the entire outpost […]

STAR WARS: TIE FIGHTER [2019] #1

Here’s another great-looking Star Wars mini-series! “ENTER SHADOW WING. THE EMPIRE’S SALVATION. THE REBELLION’S DOOM. As the war against the REBELLION stretches on, it is the innocent people of the GALACTIC EMPIRE who are most at risk. An elite squadron of TIE fighter pilots is assembled to help protect Imperial interests and hammer the Emperor’s fury down upon the treasonous and violent Rebel Alliance. But how far is this untested team willing to go to preserve law and order? And are the pilots of SHADOW WING as loyal to the Empire as they seem? This April, JODY HOUSER (THRAWN, AGE OF REPUBLIC) and ROGÊ ANTÔNIO’s (X-MEN RED) TIE fighter tale chronicles the struggles and triumphs of the heroes of the […]

STAR WARS: AGE OF REPUBLIC--GENERAL GRIEVOUS [2019] #1

To miss this one-shot would be a most grievous error on your part! Plus, there’s more cover variations than Grievous has arms. “THE FEARSOME SEPARATIST GENERAL STRIKES. In his hunt to kill Jedi, GRIEVOUS stumbles across a power greater than he imagined. What secrets will the killer cyborg find inside a lost Jedi temple? Can Grievous strike a blow against the very FORCE itself? Rated T.” Pre-Order Now Interested in Getting Started In STAR WARS comic books? Check out our guide here.

STAR WARS: VADER--DARK VISIONS [2019] #1

It’s de ja vader all over again… This. Looks. Super. Awesome! An anthology of stories about the impressions and reputation of Darth Vader seen through others POV. Can’t wait! Again. (We’ll probably never know if this is just the same series that Wendig was canned from with a new writer.) “WHO IS DARTH VADER? He has been many things: a SITH warrior, a commander, a destroyer. DARTH VADER is to many throughout the GALACTIC EMPIRE a symbol of fear and mysterious, otherworldly power. But there are some who have seen the DARK LORD in a different light. There are some corners of the galaxy so dark and desperate that even Vader can be a knight in shining armor. The first […]

First Look at STAR WARS McKone Puzzle Piece Variant Covers

by Glenn Snow | November 13th, 2018
STAR WARS MCKONE PUZZLE PIECE VARIANT COVERS

Diamond put up the first two images (finally) of a new Star Wars variant cover collection–the McKone Puzzle Piece variants. There will be 27 of these, and since there are three “ages” and the first Age of Republic has 9 one-shots, I’m guessing they will be arranged in three 3 x 3 grids. But this is just speculation until we see a few more. I was initially thinking they would have some sort of puzzle piece shape or design to them, but these designs are much better than what I imagined. You can see there is some huge background symbol in red. But the coolest part is all the ships zooming around. Can’t wait to see them all put together! […]

STAR WARS: AGE OF REPUBLIC--OBI-WAN KENOBI [2019] #1

I will never get enough Star Wars comic books. Obi-Wan tops my list of characters I’d love to read stories about! “THE EARLY DAYS OF OBI-WAN KENOBI, JEDI KNIGHT. Following the wishes of his master, OBI-WAN has taken on ANAKIN SKYWALKER as an apprentice. Will his mission alongside his young Padawan bring them closer together, or sow the seeds that will drive them apart? And who else is after the ancient holocron that they seek?

First Impression: STAR WARS: AGE OF REPUBLIC SPECIAL [2019] #1

by Glenn Snow | November 13th, 2018
STAR WARS: AGE OF REPUBLIC SPECIAL [2019] #1

This cool-looking special has short stories about Asajj Ventress, Captain Rex and Mace Windu, so that should balance out one about Jar Jar Binks. “THE GREATEST HEROES OF THE REPUBLIC, THE DEADLIEST VILLAINS – AND EVERYONE IN BETWEEN. Four creative teams. Four stories featuring your favorite Star Wars characters. The baddest Jedi in the galaxy has a score to settle – MACE WINDU returns in an action-packed adventure from OLD MAN HAWKEYE’S Ethan Sacks. You can run, but can you hide from the twin lightsabers of Sith assassin ASAJJ VENTRESS? Feel her fury in a tale expertly woven by veteran STAR WARS comic scribe Jody Houser (THRAWN, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: RENEW YOUR VOWS). And is JAR JAR BINKS’ role in […]

STAR WARS ADVENTURES: FLIGHT OF THE FALCON [2019]

This one-shot concludes the serialized backup story arc that runs through STAR WARS ADVENTURES [2017] #14-17. Kind of a slimy way to score more cash from our wallets. But it’s Star Wars, so I’ll pay regardless. “The Flight of the Falcon ends here. We’ve followed Bazine Netal’s quest for the legendary starship the Millennium Falcon, but here’s one final tale yet to be told, featuring famous pirate captain, Hondo Ohnaka.” Buy It Now Interested in Getting Started In STAR WARS comic books?

STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK [2019-SC]

My favorite chapter, but then I’m an OT child. Get your kids hooked with this all-ages, animation style adaptation of the best chapter of the Skywalker Saga. “Faithfully bringing events from the series’ defining installment to the comics page, read along as Luke Skywalker confronts the legacy of the Jedi; Han, Leia, and Chewie struggle to evade the Empire, encountering danger at every turn; and Vader pursues the Rebellion with greater determination than ever before. Plus, emerges from the shadows a certain 900-year-old Jedi Master does. Advance solicited for February release. The epic wonder of a galaxy far, far away with streamlined, young-reader friendly designs.” Buy It Now Interested in Getting Started In STAR WARS comic books? Check out our […]

STAR WARS: AGE OF REPUBLIC--JANGO FETT [2019] #1

A tale of Jango Fett and his son Boba. Can’t miss. “THE MOST FEARED BOUNTY HUNTER IN THE GALAXY. JANGO FETT’S reputation precedes him as joins a crew for what seems like a simple job. Wait, is that a KID with him? Will his fellow bounty hunters be foolish enough to betray Jango and his son, BOBA FETT? Rated T.” Buy It Now Interested in Getting Started In STAR WARS comic books?
