Canon Comic Review: Star Wars Adventures Annual 2021

Star Wars Adventures Annual 2021 Review Mynock Manor

– Spoiler Review –

There might be no Jaxxon in sight for once, no matter what the cover says, but the little furry menaces in Star Wars Adventures Annual 2021 more than makes up for it, while a fun chase through Cloud City provides an entertaining back-up story for the latest entry in the series’ Annuals.

Star Wars Comics November 2021 Solicitations

Star Wars Comics November 2021 Solicitations

By November 2021, Star Wars comics will be changed forever by the events of the War of the Bounty Hunters crossover, but one look at these solicitations and you’d wonder how it sounds much different than what’s come before…though of course they weren’t going to reveal how everything will change via these solicits! The official site’s post with the early preview suggests, “As the story ends, the…landscape will find a new status quo,” so it sounds like November will deal with the fallout from the crossover’s events. It sounds like an intriguing month anyways, with each series dealing with the fallout of Qi’ra and Crimson Dawn’s return while The High Republic era has some potentially big revelations. Head below for the November 2021 Star Wars comics solicitations now! Continue reading “Star Wars Comics November 2021 Solicitations”

So head below to check out the final month of glorious comics below! APRIL FOOLS’! Sorry, I don’t ever pull April Fools’ jokes because I like not to lose people’s trust but I couldn’t help myself to a little joke, especially when this would be terrible obvious.

Canon Comic Review: Star Wars Adventures: The Clone Wars – Battle Tales #1

Star Wars Adventures The Clone Wars Battle Tales #1

– Spoiler Review –

Begun, The Clone Wars – Battles Tales, have! Originally scheduled as a weekly series in April, and since delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, IDW’s latest miniseries might now be monthly, but if issue #1 is a sign of the quality and fun to come, it’ll be worth the wait!

Updated Star Wars Comics June/July 2020 Solicitations

Updated Star Wars Comics June and July 2020 Solicitations

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world in many different and unpredictable ways, and the entertainment industry has been in flux ever since. Comics stopped shipping for the most part in early April after Diamond Comics stopped distribution, but they have since begun shipping once again, with new comics hitting open comic shops for the first time on May 20. The upcoming schedule of comics has drastically changed, so the previously promised Star Wars comics have shifted in a big way. Marvel and IDW have begun to reveal their updated schedules (via Florian of Jedi-Bibliothek), so we’ve included the new list for the issues out in June and July 2020 below! Continue reading “Updated Star Wars Comics June/July 2020 Solicitations”

Comic News: Doctor Aphra Vol. 2 Details Revealed, The Clone Wars Comic from IDW Announced

Doctor Aphra Vol 2 Details The Clone Wars Battle Tales Announced

Over at the official site, ahead of April 2020 Star Wars comics’ solicitations, Dan Brooks interviewed the scribe of the upcoming relaunch of Doctor Aphra, Alyssa Wong, revealing new details like a heavy Indiana Jones-esque plot and a whole host of new and intriguing characters. And at THR, IDW announced a 5-issue anthology miniseries, Star Wars Adventures: The Clone Wars – Battle Tales, where clones share war stories (UPDATE: Check out our interview with the series’ writer, Michael Moreci). Head below for more details on each!

UPDATE: Due to the growing pandemic, comic distributor Diamond Comics has halted shipping starting in April. Marvel won’t be releasing issues digitally and IDW certainly won’t unless it’s on a store shelf, so it’s very much up in the air when these comics will end up seeing the light of day. It’s an unfortunate, but understandable move. Battle Tales has a new tentative release for June, but no word on what Marvel is thinking for Aphra’s relaunch. I’ll update as soon as we learn! UPDATE 5/2/20: Battle Tales‘ first issue will hit May 20 and Aphra #1 will hit May 27! Continue reading “Comic News: Doctor Aphra Vol. 2 Details Revealed, The Clone Wars Comic from IDW Announced”

Star Wars Comics January 2020 Solicitations

Star Wars Comics January 2020 Solicitations

January is a time for new beginnings and all those important resolutions we love to make, like watching more Star Wars…but on a treadmill. It’s also a time of uncertainty for what’s ahead, as we don’t quite know what’s next for the Star Wars Saga after The Rise of Skywalker brings the Skywalker part of it to an end (and if the epic trailer from Monday is anything to go by, it’s going be a brave new galaxy), but we at least get our first glimpses of Marvel’s relaunching efforts in 2020 and beyond with today’s solicitations.

Canon Comic Review: Star Wars Adventures – Forces of Destiny (#1-5)

Star Wars Adventures Forces of Destiny v3
Elsa Charretier Variant Covers

When it was first announced the younger marketed Star Wars Adventures comics from IDW would have a Forces of Destiny tie-in miniseries, a show itself great for the same audience the comic reached, it felt like a match made in Cloud City. Now that all five issues of the female-centric miniseries have released, all written by female creatives, I can honestly say it belongs among the clouds, despite a few minor missteps that won’t really matter to core readers of the event series.
