A stitched-together episode -- one that was almost lost to a temperamental computer and timing issues. Jeff and Matt examine the latest tale of Marvel's The High Republic #10, a quick-paced story that sees nods to characters and events from the era's books, while the Ghosts of Vader's Castle mini-series wraps up -- perhaps for good -- with issue #5 that sees an unlikely spectral savior.
Star Wars Adventures #11 brings the first part of a two-part Rogue Squadron tale that had Matt far too excited for his own good, while the backup story focus on Ree-Yees and why it's never a good career move to do anything for Jabba the Hutt.
As for news, we examine the notion that Crimson Reign is likely to be a crossover event when it kicks off, as well as the latest publishing delays.
