Hey, look. A new Star Wars comic.
They do Action Figure Variants all the time for shit that doesn't actually have an action figure. Liars.
Sana Amanat Is involved in a lot of my favorite things. I wish this was an interview with Kate instead of about Kate.

All the Droids Variant Covers makes me think Aphra book but it isn't probably that.
I'm surprised we haven't gotten a Yoda series yet.
I think that has been the most common guess since we found out that a Vader replacement was coming.

I think Aaron has an arc coming up you'll be pleased with
Maybe it's somehow related to Rogue One?
The main SW series is gonna have a Yoda arc coming up, set before TPM.

I really hope not. I'm so sick of anything taking place around the original trilogy. It's been done to death for decades.

The Rogue One comic was cancelled. I'd be surprised if they revived it.
I still think an Aphra ongoing is the safe bet. The reaction to her has been really positive.
You dont have to buy it.
Get me some Clones or Old Republic and I'll start buying star wars comics. Not that the current ones are bad or anything.
I hope they cast Ivy in the Harley movie. I'm hoping it's the oasis of good for DCCU like Deadpool is for the Fox MCU.
Knights of the New Republic. Set between RotJ and TFA, focused on Luke's New Jedi Order before Snoke wrecks it.

There isn't much of a story to tell there. There was no huge Jedi Order, just a few pupils he was training.
I'd like an Old Republic book but I wouldn't be surprised if they wait to do a film during that time before books and comics.
Thx added that to my wishlist.

The Dark Horse Clone Wars series was really good.

What's the artist most known for being good at? With Vader Gillen wanted someone who could pull of the suit and backgrounds well IIRC and decided on Larocca after Iron Man.

I'm okay with this.

His main work has been in tabletop stuff and British comics. He's worked on art for Magic the Gathering, Hearthstone, the Eberron setting for D&D and he has his own Zombicide Special Guest pack. He's drawn pretty much every character in 2000 AD at some point.
He also drew most of Avengers Arena and Avengers Undercover, drew some later issues of Hickman New Avengers, and had a run on Thunderbolts (mostly the 2000 AD parody arc with

It's hilarious how he'll jump from one bandwagon to the next to get views to his site. Like, all of last Summer he was fanning the flames over how Marvel would totally retcon the X-Men out of the main universe.

Seems like a good all around artist. If they're planning to make the book a true ongoing and not a "I'll probably be done in like 2 years and move onto my other Image books" I could see him fitting well. Gillen sent off the second issue script for the book late August so they'll probably have a good tempo unless Marvel delays them.

More innovation to the character in one panel than in six issues from Tom King. Snyder the Bat God.
I think it's an interesting direction for the character coming off Soule's book and her appearances in books like Hellcat. It seems like they got a good writer working on it, so I'll give the new series a try.

I hope this book is really good. I've got a good feeling about it, plus it probably can't be worse than All-New Hawkeye

Hawkeye books always seem to have the same basic art style and it's always very off putting.

Kate Bishop is my jam. Like when Marvel Heroes released her skin as a replacement for Hawkguy, the character went from afterthought to instant main for me, even though they were mechanically identical.
Kate was the real star of Fraction's run,

Comicosity: Our Perfect JLA Rosters part 1.
Vision #11 preview. You know, I really like it when people just blast Tony.

I guess Image is going to wait until my birthday to release their solicits.

I have a huge issue with the reception it's getting:
Comic readers: "Marvel and DC characters never have any real character development and they never do anything new or interesting."
Marvel: "We're doing something new that we think will develop the character in a meaningful way"
Comic readers: "NOT MY SHE-HULK!"
Good to know someone else wants Red Lantern Supergirl on a team
Your fault if you read the OT thread for this.
Edit: this came now ruder of as intended, but I think you get what I mean. I opened that thread, thought "idiots" and closed it again to post my post here.
Just another Comicthread at OT.

Surprised to see the Two Face arc in All Star Batman is only five issues.

I'm sure Nico Leon is all well and fine, but they ain't Ben Caldwell
Probably wouldn't have fit the darker tone anyway tho
yeah, same. It's a solid team, too.
Wasn't aware of a Hawkman/Adam Strange mini by Andreyko/Lopresti, that could be fun. Or a Vigilante miniseries, which i'll probably continue being ignorant of. Also, I'm all about having Cary Nord draw Deathstroke

Ignoring the stupidity in the OT threads doesn't make it go away or change the fact that those threads are a better representation of the comic community at large than this place is.
Good! Caldwell was a major downgrade from Molina on A-Force.
The Rebirth trades seem to be pretty cheap for what you get.
lol
Welcome to comics.
I dont think that even 50% of these people on OT in Comicthreads are currently reading comics.

The "Law of Jim Lee". Whenever he draws you either get director's cut issues or a Noir trade.

This bothers me more than some others though. A lot of the outside reactions come from cosmetic stuff that people haven't bothered to gain any context from. It still upsets me, but not to this degree. This is a scenario where people know the context and I think that's worse.
Extraordinary is better
A lot of Rebirh books seem to have long arcs in addition to the Rebirth issues so it's making the trades bigger and DC clearly doesn't want to charge $20+ lol. I was wondering how they were going to handle that and now we know.
