October feels so far away, but I’m very anxious for it to come as not only does The Mandalorian’s second season arrive, Star Wars Squadrons will be out, and it’s my birthday month, but I’m getting married (~~finger’s crossed we don’t have to postpone~~ we did, unfortunately)! There’s still ~~even~~ a honeymoon to be had, so I might miss out on some of the Star Wars goodies in October, of which the comics have quite a few great issues ahead, so check them out below!

Despite understandable civil unrest and a still out of control pandemic, all types of businesses and entertainment are trying to return to some sense of normalcy.

Star Wars Comics May 2020 Solicitations (UPDATED)

Posted on February 20, 2020May 2, 2020 by Head Butler Ryan

May sees the 40th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back and it’s only fitting all the comics right now are focused on honoring the film’s legacy by directly dealing with the fallout of the film’s events: Luke Skywalker finds himself in the possession of a yellow lightsaber, Aphra’s new tomb raiding adventures sound even crazier and more exciting than before, and Vader also does some tomb raiding of his own…venturing into Padmé’s!?! Peer into May’s Star Wars comics solicitations! UPDATE: IDW has since dropped their solicits and it seems Star Wars Adventures will relaunch in May! The solicitation text seems to suggest the relaunch will be full of tales set AFTER The Rise of Skywalker, but the fine folks at Jedi Bibliothek have tempered expectations by mentioning the solicit is outdated. UPDATE 2: The updated solicit has arrived and IDW relaunches with a story between The Last Jedi and TROS, not after the Skywalker Saga finale…check it out below! UPDATE 3: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, comics stopped shipping in April and publishers aren’t releasing digital copies until physical copies can make it to store shelves. Because of the current halt in shipping, Marvel has already stated their pausing work on/releasing a third of their May and June comics, without any clear plan yet on how to release the currently effected issues and those they are pausing. We’ll update as soon as we know more! UPDATE 4 (5/2/20): The only Star Wars comics out in May will be Doctor Aphra #1 (Vol. 1) and The Clone Wars – Battle Tales from IDW, per the new reduced schedule as Diamond begins shipping comics again. You can still look at would’ve been below, but we’ll have any and all new solicitations on the Manor once they’re released! Continue reading “Star Wars Comics May 2020 Solicitations (UPDATED)” →

Canon Comic Miniseries Review: Return to Vader’s Castle

Posted on November 9, 2019August 3, 2021 by Head Butler Ryan

After the frights of last year’s Tales from Vader’s Castle brought the Halloween spirit to Star Wars comics in a gleefully ghoulish way, IDW brought the series, and writer Cavan Scott, back for another round of spooky tales: Return to Vader’s Castle! In some ways stronger and more defined than last year’s outing, Return to Vader’s Castle is an excellent continuation and usage of the fun-loving scares all-ages truly can enjoy.
