Canon Comic Miniseries Review: TIE Fighter

TIE Fighter Miniseries Review

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

Vader Dark Visions Miniseries Review

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? It became apparent far too early that everything could and Dark Visions was never able to step out from under Vader’s shadow, both literally and figuratively, leaving us with the most disappointing series from Marvel to date. In a perfect world, I probably wouldn’t have to write that statement. Continue reading “Canon Comic Miniseries Review: Vader – Dark Visions”
