A new start for Star Wars Adventures and a new arc in Marvel’s flagship Star Wars as we officially mark 200 episodes of talking about Star Wars comics week in and week out. (Is anybody out there?) Our discussion about the relaunch of Star Wars Adventures is an abbreviated one, given we’ll have a full review with the Young Padawans in an episode to come shortly, but we like what we see, with the Sequel Trilogy-era getting the red-carpet treatment in a story featuring Rey, Finn and Poe.
We’re also digging the Tales of Villainy backup, too, and marveled at the new look at the Imperial attack on Echo Base that was seen in The Empire Strikes Back.As for Star Wars #7, there are clever nods to events to come and those that have already happened (hello Poe Dameron #30 and hi there upcoming High Republic comics!), not to mention a deliciously woven story that calls back to the Tarkin novel.In news, we look at the dueling sales charts for August from Diamond and Comichron, along with scheduling changes to some IDW titles.
