Comics Discussed This Week:
- Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch -- Ghost Agents #4 (of 5)
- The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation #5 (of 5)
- Star Wars (2025) #2
- NONE
- The original solicit for Jan. 6's Star Wars (Vol. 4) TPB collecting issues 1-6 has been removed, for now, from PRH, yet over at Amazon and Target, it's now due out either in May or June and is going to collect the series' first 10 issues at a price of $29.95.
- Also missing from PRH are the initially solicited second printings for Star Wars #1. They -- Phil Noto's cover with a gray background and Ken Lashley's nonfoil version of the foil variant -- had been due out June 25. It's still showing up as "on order" in ComicHub (for now).
- Really dug the first episode of the Fire and Water Podcast Network's new Star Wars comics podcast, "From Empire to Jedi." It covers Marvel's Star Wars comics that came out between 1980's The Empire Strikes Back and 1983's Return of the Jedi, which was a rather fertile period for the first-volume run.
- It's our 10th birthday. Yay!
