December is full of endings: the end of the 2019 calendar year, the end of the Skywalker Saga with The Rise of Skywalker, and the end of Phase 1 of Marvel’s Star Wars comics??!!!!???

Star Wars Comics October 2019 Solicitations

You can always trust Halloween to be full of sweets, and Star Wars comics won’t be disappointing in October as we’re getting plenty of delectable sweets that way too. IDW and Marvel both bring Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker content to the table (with Marvel’s beginning and ending in the same month!), IDW brings back the spooky with Return to Vader’s Castle, but is the scariest thing of all what might be happening with the Doctor Aphra series?

Canon Comic Miniseries Review: Vader – Dark Visions

Vader Dark Visions Miniseries Review

Vader – Dark Visions technically should’ve never existed, because in a perfect world I would be writing about Shadow of Vader instead, but we live in an imperfect world. Despite that, I figured I’d give this replacement series a shot, as it was a different, varied, and lauded creative team stepping in, so what could go wrong with a similar concept? It became apparent far too early that everything could and Dark Visions was never able to step out from under Vader’s shadow, both literally and figuratively, leaving us with the most disappointing series from Marvel to date. In a perfect world, I probably wouldn’t have to write that statement. Continue reading “Canon Comic Miniseries Review: Vader – Dark Visions”
