Focusing on Heroes and Villains from all three current eras, with different writers and artists for each Age, the Age of Star Wars maxiseries was an ambitious and interesting project from the start. While it didn’t always live up to expectations, it brought deep explorations of fan favorites and little glimpses into unseen moments Continue reading “Canon Comic Maxiseries Review: Age of Star Wars”
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.

Age of Rebellion – Boba Fett #1 does what most of Legends really couldn’t do for me with the character, making his older-aged appearances compelling, by going full Western/Man With No Name, while the gorgeous art brings the experience to vivid life.

The second issue of Greg Pak’s Age of Rebellion had a lot more to prove to me than its first, the Leia issue, as I feel like its character has had his time in the spotlight, but Age of Rebellion – Grand Moff Tarkin #1 proves me wrong by taking off his shirt. I kid…for the most part. Head below for why! Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Age of Rebellion – Grand Moff Tarkin #1”
