It's a double-dose of storytelling as we parse the pages of Doctor Aphra #3 from Marvel and Star Wars Adventures: The Clone Wars -- Battles Tales #4 from IDW. The former drew us in with its creepy vibe and sudden twists and turns, while the latter offered readers a deeper dive into the notion of free will, independent choice and what it means to be part of a profound bond.
In news, join us Saturday as part of the Aug. 28-30 ForceFest virtual convention. We, along with Chris and Dan from Broaxium, are hosting an hour-long panel (https://bit.ly/3j6AFRO) examining how Star Wars comics build upon, mantain and project canon and continuity. It’s gonna be a blast.
_ IDW will be publishing a one-shot The Mandalorian title in December or January. No details on the creative team yet, but the book has a cover price of $7.99 and will apparently feature a regular cover by Peach Momoko, a Japanese artist whose variants are among the most sought after by collectors of late.
_ Ray-Anthony Height (https://bit.ly/3aUttFD) is taking over art on Doctor Aphra starting with issue #6. Speaking of Doctor Aphra, the first series is getting the omnibus treatment and will be released Feb. 24, including all 40 issues, the three annuals, Darth (Vol. 1) 3-4, 8 and 21, Star Wars (Vol. 2) 13, 19 and 31-32, the The Screaming Citadel one-shot and material from Darth Vader (Vol. 1) #25 and the Empire Ascendant one shot. Price is $125 for 1,240 pages but check out InStock trades (https://bit.ly/2FRx4J7), given they offer substantial discounts to the cover price.
