We're back for this month's issue and what a collection of Star Wars comics that Matt Moore and Jeff McGee have to fuss about and discuss! And phone books. Lots of phone books. (OK, not so much the phone books.)
But before we do that, our heartfelt thanks to all who cast their votes for us in the literature category in the first Star Wars Podcast Awards. While we didn't win, your listening to our show, interacting with us on Twitter and enjoying the shared experience of talking about Star Wars comics is what keeps us coming back every month, and then some.
In the pages of Star Wars #18, the excellent "Rebel Jail" story arc continues amid crackling dialogue and action from Leia, Sana and Aphra.
Meanwhile, in Obi-Wan and Anakin #4, the Jedi Master and his padawan each learn a bit more about each other, themselves and their roles in the wider galaxy.
In Darth Vader #19, readers are treated, if only briefly, to a glimpse of the man Vader used to be even as we learn his executive recruiting skills are second to none.
And, lastly, yet not leastly, we're introduced to the First Order's own John Waters, Capt. Terrex, a dashing, sardonic yet decidedly non-dastardly villain with a hankering for blue egg omelet in the second issue Poe Dameron.
