Episode #369 -- I Love You (Miss Robot)

Peach Momoko's Star Wars Visions one-shot is a true masterpiece in form, style and storytelling, wordlessly conveying the past, present and future across pages and pages of electrifying illustrations.The Dark Droids event burns its way through the mini-series' namesake fourth issue and into the pages of Doctor Aphra #38, delivering a blow to the bodies of all involved, none more than Chelli Aphra herself in a deluge of body horror and, yes, introspection. The Mandalorian Season 2 #6 provides a faithful adaptation chapter 14, with art that's lushly rendered (though the Razor Crest got short-changed!)Comics Discussed This Week:The Mandalorian Season 2 #6 (17:06)Star Wars Visions: Peach Momoko #1 (20:08)Dark Droids #4 (of 5) (24:35)Doctor Aphra (Vo. 2) #38 (40:30)Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:Star Wars #37News: Charles Soule, in his November newsletter, says to read Dark Droids #5 (Dec. 27) before Star Wars 41 (Dec. 6) so as to not spoil how the latter ends.The High Republic Adventures comic being sold with the Stellan Gios lightsaber hilt is a reprint of IDW's High Republic Adventures 2021 annual with a new cover by Harvey Tolibao.Marvel's Black History Month variants in February are all by Ken Lashley and feature Kawlan Roken, Bell Zettifar and Ember, Mace Windu, Captain Panaka and Adi Gallia.Looks like the "Logo" variants for January's Marvel Star Wars comics are each series' respective logo.The High Republic Phase III Vol. 1 TPB, collecting 1-4 is slated for release June 18.The Mace Windu TPB is set for release on Aug. 6.
