Star Wars Splash Page

Nock this one down for the ages: Doctor Aphra Annual #2 was a true gem, not just because of Winloss and Nokk, but as a prime example of how an annual can advance a regular series, too.

Similarly, the action in Star Wars #53 did not disappoint, with the hyper pace akin to jumping into hyperspace.

Join Jeff and Matt as they explain why in the latest episode of the podcast

The much-vaunted and eagerly flaunted "Fortress Vader" story arc begins and it holds nothing back as Darth Vader's descent into despair gains speed. It's an unsettling but enjoyable start to this storyline and is filled with great promise. Just don't get too attached to anyone in the book.

We're so deep in smit with Doctor Aphra right now it's not even funny. The latest issue, #22, found Jeff and Matt enjoying the rollicking tale, despite the awkwardness of having not one but two lovers show up! The same with Lando: Double or Nothing #3, which is proving to be a worthwhile addition to Lando's long history and is required reading.

Did we mention that the latest A Star Wars Comic hit us in the feels? Listen to find out why as we discuss Jim Mello and Alex Ray's latest creation and wonder aloud why these two aren't writing and drawing Star Wars comics for Marvel or IDW. (Seriously, c'mon. Give 'em a book. Now.)

We also dive deep into the Star Wars comics news at SDCC.

The woes of Poe are compounded by Black Squadron's inability to rally allies to the cause in this, their most desperate hour, in the pages of Poe Dameron #29, while Han Solo proves his mettle, skill and pluck as the best pilot in the galaxy in Star Wars #51 in what portends to be a head-to-head duel with Darth Vader.

Finally, in the pages of Darth Vader Annual #2, writer Chuck Wendig weaves associated elements of Star Wars lore from film and the printed page to tell an engaging, if not spirited, whodunit that further cements the oddly balanced relationship and mutual non-aggression pact that is Wilhuff Tarkin and the Dark Lord of the Sith.

This time it's really Episode #70 and we've got a spirited discussion about Thrawn #6 and whether it should have been six more issues. We're also talking about Darth Vader #18, predicting it may well be the next Star Wars comic to garner an Eisner nomination.

Jeff and Matt also wax rhapsodic about what sort of Star Wars comics announcements could come out of San Diego Comic Con this week.

A Clone Wars series? The Solo: A Star Wars Story official comics adaptation? Maybe a tie-in to this fall's Star Wars Resistance? How about an Enfys Nest-focused monthly?
