Star Wars #63 keeps the momentum and humor going from the start of “The Scourging of Shu-Torun” arc, Kieron Gillen’s last, but it ends with the reality sinking in that this won’t be all fun and games (in the best way possible). Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Star Wars #63”
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!

Star Wars #62 is the beginning of the end for writer Kieron Gillen, as “The Scourging of Shu-Torun” arc will be his last, and this issue feels like a proper start to what can only be described as the culmination of Gillen’s entire run. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Star Wars #62”
May the Fourth be with you…and this huge batch of Star Wars comics hitting in May 2019! I can’t remember the last time we had a month this busy, with 2-3 issues hitting each Wednesday, and it looks to be a plethora of great content to boot: Age of Rebellion crams the majority of its run within the month, the Doctor Aphra series gets another new lease on life, new series like TIE Fighter really take flight, and Legends comics get a new issue?! Read ahead for the details!! Continue reading “Star Wars Comics May 2019 Solicitations”

Star Wars #61 might not be the best issue of rather great “The Escape” arc, it wraps it all up with a nice little bow, pointing us towards writer Kieron Gillen’s conclusion later this year. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Star Wars #61”

Star Wars issue #60 assuages most of my fears from the previous issue (and solicits) by going in directions I didn’t predict/expect, making for an excellent penultimate issue for “The Escape” arc. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Star Wars #60”
April is going to be a busy month with all the news coming out of Star Wars Celebration Chicago, a new novel in Master & Apprentice, and plenty to come in the comics, including 2 (technically 3) new series beginning! From comic tie-in of the upcoming Galaxy’s Edge theme park, a TIE squadron miniseries tie-in to an upcoming novel, the Age of Rebellion beginning, and Doctor Aphra‘s latest arc coming to an explosive close, don’t let these issues pass you by!

Kieron Gillen has announced, via his newsletter, his plans to leave the Star Wars series with issue #67, the ending to his next arc, “The Scourging of Shu-Torun.” Gillen took over the Star Wars series from original writer Jason Aaron in 2017, starting his run with issue #38, making this a 30-issue run. He seems to be done with the storytelling era between A New Hope/Empire Strikes Back, and I don’t blame him considering most of the comics have taken place during the timeframe and he’s only written series which fall within it. It’ll be sad to see him go, as he’s brought a fun new energy to the SW series, he’s been around since the very start with his first Vader series, and he created the wonder that is Doctor Aphra (my favorite character), but maybe he’ll be back, someway, somehow. Some other thoughts about the Star Wars series’ future below! Continue reading “Comic News: Kieron Gillen Eyes Exit of Star Wars Comic”
