Posted on July 23, 2024July 24, 2024 by Head Butler Ryan

Ahead of the SDCC publishing panel on July 25, the official site decided a few reveals were in order, starting with our first glimpse of what’s to follow this current era of comics: The Battle of Jakku maxiseries! Judging from the cover and the description, it looks like the comic will incorporate the defunct mobile game Star Wars: Uprising, as well as the Aftermath Trilogy, to solidify the lead up to the final battle of the Galactic Civil War. We also got covers for some upcoming The High Republic releases early, so between the maxiseries and the covers already being revealed, I expect we’ll be in for quite the treat at this panel!

Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader – Black, White & Red #3 & #4

Posted on July 27, 2023 by Head Butler Ryan

– Spoiler Review –

After not quite proving itself necessary or distinct, with stories often feeling much the same to showcase the titular Sith Lord’s might, I took a break and decided to review the final two issues of Darth Vader: Black, White & Red together, as one thing was clear after it ended: while the art was often great and outstanding, more Vader was not what we or this series needed.

Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader – Black, White & Red #2

Posted on May 24, 2023 by Head Butler Ryan

– Spoiler Review –

Two new stories join Jason Aaron’s recurring tale in Darth Vader: Black, White & Red #2, one with a creepy story and another with good art and an important message, though my feeling the series hasn’t made itself entirely distinct from being just more Vader remain.

Posted on April 27, 2023 by Head Butler Ryan

– Spoiler Review –

Darth Vader: Black, White & Red #1 kicks off the experimental miniseries with a bunch of little stories about everyone’s favorite nightmare, the titular Sith Lord himself. Within its opening issue, there’s the beginning of Jason Aaron’s return to Star Wars comics, a surrealistic story like only Peach Momoko could deliver, and Toruun Grønbekk’s debut, all presenting Vader in different ways. However, are they different enough from what’s all come before? Find out in my review! Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader – Black, White & Red #1” →
