There's no new Star Wars comics this week, which has us -- and you -- bummed, given we were very much looking forward to sharing our thoughts about the debut of Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2) #1 and Star Wars Adventures: The Clone Wars -- Battle Tales #1.

So what could we do but talk about the six-page preview of Doctor Aphra that was released last week, as well as the three pages that were revealed last month!

Besides the truncated discussion about those issues, there's discussion about the coronavirus pandemic-related disruption to comic shops, publishers and of course Diamond, which distributes those comics.

We also lay out our plans for the show during this odd time, including variations of the podcast examining key Dark Horse Comics titles, key runs during Marvel's 1977-86 run of Star Wars, as well as the U.K. comics, newspaper strips, Ewoks and Droids.

New Star Wars comics (that were supposed to be) out April 8:
_ Star Wars -- Bounty Hunters #3
