COMICS! |OT| January 2015. So many variants you'd swear it's 1995 instead.

Read Star Wars, and other than hating how Cassaday draws a lightsaber in motion, it was solid. Like y'all said, it felt like the movies: Vader was a badass, Luke was lame, good stuff all around.

Any awkward, Splinter of the Mind's Eye Luke/Leia level "we don't know we're related" stuff?

My roommate asked me if I wanted it. I almost caved. Even at $4.99.

Hell yes, that's like the only EU stuff I like. Bought those omnibi on the cheap last year after Christmas, it was a solid investment.

No Rogue / Wraith Squadron love?

Well that Star Wars issue was already better written than the entirety of the three prequel movies.

In short, I liked it. It didn't set the world on fire, but it was fun, comfy even.
Perhaps a little to 'safe', maybe.

Is this Old Republic stuff? I can't get into that era at all. I've tried the Darth Bane trilogy, SWTOR and some other stuff and I don't really like it that much. For me, it's too far back from anything that feels like Star Wars to me.

KOTOR was decent but that was a long time ago and I can't get past the char gen in the Steam version on Windows 8.1.

Nah old republic was like the New Testament. This is straight up Sodom and Gomorrah shit. Sticks and stones type Jedi.

TotJ is old old fucking Star Wars. Talking ~5000 years before New Hope (BBY). But I'll be honest if you don't like the idea and concepts behind Star Wars, the EU stuff not involving the OG trilogy cast is probably hard to enjoy. New characters and stories are still fucking excellent but yeah it ain't for everybody I guess.

God, as a Nintendo guy, this morning's Direct was a danger to my wallet. Freaking New 3DS XL with its nice fancy MH4U edition...

Anyway, comics, right! I read the first chunk of the 4th Exiles Ultimate Collection last night. I've said it before, but I really like this series. It's not super high class artsy stuff or anything, but I really find it a ton of fun.

Noooooo. Not JC! His super long posts analyzing a page talking about intracacies I never even considered will be badly missed.

On a brighter note, I received my IST order today! Absolute Batman Inc and Batmanga are mine.

It is oversized for your $4.99, pretty sure it had 35 pages of story.

Never read Rogue or Wraith Squadron, I never dug all that drop into the EU stuff beyond what a friend recommended out let me borrow.

Exiles is genuinely one of my favourite series of all time, although I like to think it ends after
they return the bodies of the fallen Exiles to their home dimensions.
The Claremont run is rough. Mimic and Blink (all-time favourite comics couple), Morph, Mariko, Heather, Nocturne, Namorita, man that series was so good.

Bring it. I'll probably be getting a PS4 for this game. I don't know how good I'll be without a stick though, I haven't played a fighter on a pad in years. Will be maining Scorpion or Cassie Cage.

That actually sounds interesting. Will have to hunt down the Omnibuses before they go out of print.

The Rogue Squadron books are great. It's the only EU canon I got super deep into in an overly nerdy kind of way. It pushes aside all the Jedi / Sith cock fighting and focuses on cool ass space shit.

The comics are cool too.

Lemme know how you like Batmanga!

And I know it's not real comics but Henshin was really good guys. The short stories range from charming to depressing and it's a great and short read. It focuses on the little things in life (friendships, being a foreigner, trying to be normal, etc.) and it's really touching. Highly recommended.

Avengers/New Avengers is probably my favourite current comic. Just consistently great and I can't wait to see how it all comes together.

And being a bit of an Ultimate Universe apologist, I'm interested to see what that issue with the Hitch Ultimates #1 cover is all about.

In the last story in this week's Spider-Verse, are we supposed to think that the difference between the two is that the second Peter
is still married
? Is it the
Renew Your Vows
Spidey from Secret Wars? Or is it literally just meant to be that they're the same apart from choice of costume?
