The official Star Wars site is removing its blogs, soon. I’ve appreciated the platform over there, and while there wasn’t a lot of content split between this blog and that one, I’ve been able to retrieve some of the more interesting pieces. Here’s a fun one from 2006, dealing with some random mistakes of a youth spent in Star Wars fandom… Kenner really messes with your mind… Image from Toynerd.com …

I got my start in black-and-white small press comics, and know I’m not alone. So when I was invited to contribute a short story to the science fiction issue of The Gathering, the new talent anthology from Grayhaven Comics, I was happy to do so. T.M. Haley, Michael Lapinski and I contributed “Immune,” a silent-movie style story of a world not quite right. I like what Michael did with the …
Just when things are looking bleak for Zayne Carrick — things get worse! That’s been the story of his life. But that twinkle in his eye is never far away, as we see when Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – War #3 hits the shelves on Wednesday.
