As a huge Star Wars fan I try to keep up with everything, but with limited time this is unfortunately impossible for me to do, so I pick and choose whatever catches my eye from the Star Wars universe.

A whole lot has gone down since late last year, primarily George Lucas selling Lucasfilm which includes but not limited to the rights to Indiana Jones and of course Star Wars to the Disney Empire who paid an incredible $4.05 billion dollars.

The last book in a series of five comics from Dark Horse proved to be excellent. It had the right feel to it that would draw any Star Wars fan in. A very well written conclusion to this tale of The Empire at its infancy and the art was delightful, drawn as it should be considering [...]
Los Angeles will be the place to be next week on September 15th when the legendary master of the arts Todd Mcfarlane will join up with another legend, the great Stan Lee at Comikaze. I couldn’t even begin to think of a better con to be at as Todd Mcfarlane has always been a great [...]
I would consider this as pretty big news with Victor Gischler going to Dynamite Comics to take over as writer for one of their more popular titles The Shadow. Gischler, who has been the lead writer for Marvel Comics on X-Men for the past two and a half years, will be picking up The Shadow [...]
It was just this past weekend that I found a copy of Superman: Earth One, and I loved every panel of it. Writer J. Michael Straczynski and artist Shane Davis create a masterpiece in the retelling of the Superman mythos about a twenty- year-old Clark Kent trying to find his place on Earth and [...]
One way to gauge if you are getting up there in age is to ask yourself the simple question, “Do I remember when Atari was the biggest baddest console on the block?” Some of my earlier memories are popping an Atari cartridge in and playing for hours. Back then it was either me playing or [...]
One of the hottest topics in the comic universe lately has been a certain Kryptonian hooking up with a well known Amazon.
