Canon Comic Miniseries Review: TIE Fighter

Posted on September 11, 2019March 1, 2021 by Head Butler Ryan

Billed as a crossover event between Marvel and Del Rey’s Alphabet Squadron novel, Jody Houser’s TIE Fighter miniseries came with expectations it wasn’t designed to meet. Having had some time to think on the series, and rereading it all together, TIE Fighter’s character focus certainly engaged, but it was never enough for readers to neither connect to the characters nor distract from plots which ended before you even realized they started, but had it not been linked to the novel, maybe it would’ve had a better chance.

Canon Comic Miniseries Review: Vader – Dark Visions

Posted on July 3, 2019 by Head Butler Ryan

Vader – Dark Visions technically should’ve never existed, because in a perfect world I would be writing about Shadow of Vader instead, but we live in an imperfect world. Despite that, I figured I’d give this replacement series a shot, as it was a different, varied, and lauded creative team stepping in, so what could go wrong with a similar concept?

Vader – Dark Visions #5 ends the series much like it started it, as it offers up a story rather similar to one it has already told that lacks the nuance the series promised, while its visuals remain the sole bright spot of tuning in. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Vader – Dark Visions #5” →

Star Wars Comics June 2019 Solicitations

Posted on March 19, 2019June 23, 2019 by Head Butler Ryan

By June 2019, we’ll be halfway through the year, marching ever closer to Episode IX and the first live-action TV series, but you won’t find anything related to those in this solicitation just yet. But with Star Wars Celebration Chicago 2019 coming mid-April, just before July’s solicitations will go live, we’ll be getting plenty of news regarding upcoming comic projects, especially since you’ll see below June finds Kieron Gillen exiting the Star Wars series and the Vader – Dark Visions miniseries comes to a spooky end. But forget for a moment the deluge of info coming in April and enjoy what June will still have to offer, from Hondo Ohnaka sightings and Doctor Aphra potentially finding an all-important ex!
