Posted on July 24, 2018November 22, 2018 by Head Butler Ryan

At first glance, October’s comics might look a little slim, but that’s only because Marvel is having one of it’s quietest months since launching. But IDW is here to pick up the slack, and with one helluva offering: a horror-anthology called Tales from Vader’s Castle. So head below to see why I about jumped out of my skin when I saw Aphra‘s latest cover, a cool connection Charles Soule is making between two of his series, and what spooks are ahead from Vader’s Castle!

Canon Comic Review: Star Wars #50

Posted on July 7, 2018July 28, 2019 by Head Butler Ryan

– Spoiler Review –

Mynock Manor was still in its infancy when the new canon comics from Marvel began in 2015, and while I hadn’t been much of a comic book reader, I decided to start with Marvel’s new series to see how I felt about covering them on the regular. Star Wars #1 was a compelling argument, as my review said, “Marvel’s starting off their handling of the franchise on the right foot with an adventure worthy of the Star Wars name that’s entertaining through every panel, leaving you wanting more,” and now the comics have become the biggest focus of the Manor, especially with Doctor Aphra being my favorite character. The original writer, Jason Aaron left the series after 37 issues and now Kieron Gillen has picked up the torch, carrying it into a new era since its launch 3 years ago, building to issue #50 over two slow burn arcs. Star Wars #50 is a mostly exciting start to the subtly named “Hope Dies” arc, as the Rebellion learns the hard way this war with the Empire is far from won and far from over. Issue #50 also includes a bonus one-shot that uncovers the tale behind the betrayal instrumental in bringing the Rebellion back to its knees. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Star Wars #50” →

September’s solicitations for Star Wars comics are in and while it sure seems to be an exciting month, from Vader visiting the place of his birth, Aphra finding herself in the crosshairs of multiple old foes, to plenty of “Hope” dying for the heroes of the Rebellion as the Empire starts to strike back, it’s also a sad month for the comics. Two miniseries, the new Lando and The Last Jedi adaptation, come to an end, but the biggest blow is Poe Dameron‘s adventures coming to a close for good. Head on below for a glimpse at what’s ahead and help you mourn the loss of Poe. Continue reading “Star Wars Comics September 2018 Solicitations” →
