How many books are Bunn on now? He's like Marvel's mini-Bendis now.

Pretty much. I will probably just pass.
He's doing Mercs, UXM and a Deadpool mini. I think that's it.
Not half as talented as Bendis.

Same. Hell, wasn't there a Maul comic back in the EU?

There was one not long after Phantom Menace where he fought Vader:
12 year old me thought it was amazing.
The one you're thinking of is probably Son of Dathomir, which IIRC is not Legends and therefore still canon, despite being a Dark Horse publication. It's rescued scripts that were cut from the last season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
There was the pretty good Son Of Dathomir that continued on from where his story ended during the Clone Wars series. There was a much older 4 issue series that I haven't read as well.

I'm sticking with Namesake. I just think it might go somewhere.Mother Panic #1: Pretty good. I like the main character a lot, and this is an intriguing, fresh spin on Gotham vigilantes. The art is reasonably good. It's rather unfortunate, however, that the villain is a less interesting. I can't imagine that will be a problem for too many people here, though.version of the villain in the current Daredevil arc. Same idea, basically, but not nearly as interesting, visually or otherwise
Still pulling all of the YA books. That's damn impressive...we'll see what happens with Cave Carson tomorrow, though, kinda on the fence with that one. And I haven't tried Shade yet. Hopefully soon.
Question for YA experts: this book is never going to interact with the rest of the Gotham/Bat-books, right? No crossovers/events, and no appearances by Panic in those books, due to the adult content here, correct? No big deal either way, just curious.
Namesake #1: After going wild for Midnighter & Apollo, I thought this book was a sure thing for me, but nope. Cannot recommend. Art is not so great. Characters are also not so great. It frankensteins together some elements of other recent sci-fi comics without using those elements effectively. Its core concepts aren't clearly expressed. Worst of all, it's criminally dull. Dropped.

Why not just hate every day? I mean, they're all essentially the same.
This one is espescially shitty.

Wait for reviews.
Can't think of a villian I am more sick of than Thanos. Complete no from me.
Spring. 5 issue mini.
This book is for me. I love him in Clone wars and rebels. We already seen the origin of this brother which probably mimics Maul's. Which means we'll probably see Mother Talzin and witchcraft in the Star Wars Universe.

Clone Wars Maul has goals and talks and isn't played by a stuntman.
Yeah, that he talks is the big problem with Clone Wars Maul

If I wasn't under the heel of my Emperor after getting sliced in two I would do a whole lotta talking.
Bunn's entire career is making you give a shit about villains.

Why does he wear the mask!?

Yeah his design is so cool. And he was part of that amazing duel in TPM that was so good it nearly redeemed the movie. I liked the Darth Maul novel set on Coruscant that came out several years ago, too.
That's about it.
I think at this point it's become cliché to avatar quote you so I'll just say nope. The Mandalorian stuff with Maul is leagues better than anything in the prequels.

New Super-Man #5: Breaking news! New Super-Man still great and getting better all the time. Shades of gray have been woven so effectively into pretty much every significant character and organization here, no easy feat. Also, fucking

Do people in China read American comics at all, I wonder? I wonder what they'd think of this book? I'm curious what the government over there would think of it. It's certainly critical of the West as well, but this book pulls no punches with the Chinese government.
That's his motivation in Ep 1 too though so I'm not sure there is any contrast to be drawn there.

What will Telltale do next?
Something bad...something good...or a bit of both?
(Probably a bit of both)

Madness!
Maul's not even a character in TPM. The Mandalore episodes of The Clone Wars alone do more for him as a character.

We have to wait for The Game Awards to know for certain.

Hey....
Ray Park is a cool dude. He played Snake Eyes.
How? I honestly don't see how he can be worse than movie Maul. I genuinely don't.

Urgh.
URGH.
URRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH.
It's totally going to happen, isn't it? Like, Movie-style Guardians is fine, just not him please.
Marvel's paper quality is so shit you can't even use them as toilet paper.
Contact Olivia for Gamora. Fix the wrongs of the past marvel and Olivia. Pls. For me.
So good.
You have to imagine OOGA CHAKA OOGA CHAKA playing in the background while you read this.

It is, 100%, going to be Laura Bailey.
Star-Lord: Troy Baker
Gamora: Laura Bailey
Rocket: Nolan North or Jason Spisak (voice of Penguin in Telltale Batman)
Drax: Steve Blum
Groot: IDFK, Kevin Michael Richardson, same as the cartoon
They may also just use the cartoon voices, but otherwise, BOOK IT.

Cosmo: J. Michael Tatum
Nah it was Blue Swede.
