It's feast day for Star Wars comics this week with three new comics -- the Revelations one-shot, Yoda #1 (of 10) and Hyperspace Stories #3 (of 12) -- and the Tales From the Rancor Pit original graphic novel.
As a result, this is a longer episode than normal, but it should offer up some guidance, particularly where Marc Guggenheim's Revelations one-shot is concerned. Meanwhile, Hyperspace Stories #3 captures the endearing aspect of Finn and Poe perfectly, while we're treated to a side of Yoda that's rarely seen. Rancor Pit is creepy and fun and continues the tradition of Star Wars horror.
