Posted on February 2, 2024 by Head Butler Ryan

– Spoiler Review –

After nearly four years and 40 issues, plus lots of laughter, tears, and joyous chaos along the way, Doctor Aphra‘s (Vol. 2) finale has arrived. We’ve been here before, but not at this caliber and strength of character building, so the tears come swift and often in one of the best finales for Star Wars comics in general, let alone for the character. I’m going to do my best not to cry again too much typing out this review, but hey, if I do, you won’t have to see it. Let’s begin! Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Doctor Aphra #40 (Vol. 2)” →

January 2024’s Star Wars comics solicitations aren’t interested in your New Year’s resolutions or aspirations, as they have a distinct air of finality to them whether you want them to or not, seeming to promise the era of comics set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi might be winding down.

Star Wars Comics October 2023 Solicitations

Posted on July 20, 2023July 20, 2023 by Head Butler Ryan

At this age in my life, I don’t really expect a ton of gifts in my birthday month, instead looking forward to spending time with friends and family.

And there’s going to be more Lando and Lobot drama that I’m sure my heart can handle anymore?
