Age of Resistance overloads in September, finishing up its run, and the entirety of the “Age of Star Wars” maxiseries with some big sequel trilogy names, like Rey, Rose, Kylo, and Snoke (good luck to the artist having to draw Snoke’s golden robes!), while Doctor Aphra hits its “Unspeakable” penultimate issue, the video game prequel Jedi: Fallen Order – Dark Temple begins introducing players to its story, and some rock monsters mind probe Threepio; you know, totally ordinary business. September sounds like it’s going to be a wild one in the comics…check it out below! Continue reading “Star Wars Comics September 2019 Solicitations”
By the end of August 2019, both the 14-acre Star Wars theme park expansions will be open, signaling a new era for ways to interact with the Saga, making it feel a little less far, far away. And as fans gear up for The Rise of Skywalker and The Mandalorian, the comics continue the beat of their own drums, though with the Galaxy’s Edge and TIE Fighter minis coming to an end, what might take their place? We don’t have an answer yet, so spend August enjoying Doctor Aphra antics, the early beginnings of Greg Pak’sStar Wars, and Kylo Ren marooned on a planet with General Hugs Hux in the Age of Resistance, among others!

If there’s anybody who can write Star Wars comics well, it is Charles Soule. The man has an incredible range of gifts: from the Master-Padawan relationship of Obi-Wan & Anakin to the tortured mind of a Sith Lord in Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith. If anyone was going to lead the charge into the New Republic era of comic books, I wouldn’t trust anybody more than I would Soule. Poe Dameron, at least at its conception, took us on the search for Lor San Tekka, the occasion shown at the beginning of The Force Awakens. Instead of showing us a straightforward search and rescue mission, the series took some mighty fun pit stops: a cult that worshiped a kaiju-bearing egg, Mr. Bones against the First Order, revisiting Cato Nemoidia, and more. I mean, a lot more. Continue reading “Canon Comic Retrospective: Poe Dameron Series”
