KOTOR #37: Tall, green, and scaly!

Inaugurating a new thread on this Inauguration Day: Everyone’s favorite Trandoshan (he’s not much of a pilot, but you should try his Belgian waffles) Slyssk gets a turn in the spotlight in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #37, which makes its debut on shelves this week. I’m not certain whether it’s Wednesday or Thursday, given the holiday schedule this week — but I would assume some portion of …

Obama makes M.U. debut

The Marvel Universe is treated as our universe, for purposes of who major public figures are: George W. Bush had a significant role in several of my issues of Iron Man (including #74, below). As Marvel is announcing with a bit of a press wave, his soon-to-be successor Barack Obama makes his in-universe debut in Amazing Spider-Man later this month. This has been the case with Marvel for a long …

Holiday greetings from Knights of the Old Republic #36…

…a comic book you can find this Christmas Eve at your local comic book store. Zayne and company are off to new challenges in the Coreworlds in our latest issue, part 1 of “Prophet Motive.” It’ll be a few days before I can get any notes online about the issue — I’m out of position and don’t have the issue myself yet. But coming at this time of the year …

Panini’s Vector Volume 1

I just received (from the kindly UPS man) the German version of what will be stateside the first Star Wars: Vector trade paperback: It’s actually Star Wars Sonderband #46 in Panini’s numbering system, but I would suspect it looks a bit like the final version will on this side of the drink. It’s “Vector 1: Der Muur-Talisman,” which I suspect means the subtitle of the first volume is (natch) “The …

A few days past, a few months ahead…

…in this line of work, the past and the future are happening at once. So I have here some thoughts about the current release, Knights of the Old Republic #34 (though I’m fairly careful, as always, consider a Spoiler Warning attached — read the comics first). And I also have the cover and page set up for Knights of the Old Republic #37, January’s issue. And, no, that’s not a …

KOTOR #34: Secrets revealed!

Well, all kinds of cards are being turned over in this corner of the Star Wars timeline this week! First, of course, there’s news about Star Wars: The Old Republic, the online RPG. You can read more background on the site itself, but a factor of note to comics readers is when it says it’s set — a good while after the events of the earlier video games (and of …

Now shipping: More Tales of the Jedi!

Well, I’d said all along that my Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series had a variety of roots stretching back into the Tales of the Jedi days — both before and after — and we’ll see some of them this week when issue #33 goes on sale. I’m still wrangling with getting stuff back on the websites, so my production notes will appear in a few days. I …

A trip to Coruscant… games… and more

Whole bunch of updates here. First off, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #31 is on the shelves this week, or so I am informed. It is stuffed chock full of revelations and surprises; my thoughts on the issue will be along later, and as you might expect there’ll be a lot to talk about this time out! One of the interesting things about the issue is the ad …

Feeorin Wednesday

I am reliably informed this Wednesday holds the promise of Knights of the Old Republic #30 sitting on the shelves of your fine comic book establishment. Seekest ye thou this, and readeth. I’ll have some thoughts online later on once the pressure system moves and my brain stops hurting. (And speaking of, for those who have asked — the flooding in Wisconsin missed us, though not by a lot. Our …
