May The Panel Be With You

The battle for Hoth is well under way as we continue our coverage of The Empire Strikes Back comic book adaptation from Marvel Comics. We ask the important questions like, where did all those Wumpas go?

It's the Empire's turn to Strike Back as we start our coverage of Marvel's adaptation of Episode V of the Star Wars Saga. New artists abound but the same old Shooter-era shenanigans crop up as we talk context, sequels and how one might follow up on the biggest movie in Hollywood history.

This month's Panel Up covers the Prime's new show Fallout. We discuss the nature of video game adaptations and just how good this one is!

We wrap up our coverage of the first Star Wars Infinites stories by discussing the moral relativism of Yoda's actions. That little green swamp goblin done did some baaaaad things...

For a New Hope remix, there sure is a lot of Empire Strikes Back in this book... As we cover the third installment of the first Star Wars Infinities book, we question Han's motivations and Leia's commitment to evil.

Things take some wild turns as we continue our coverage of the first Star Wars Infinities book. Not content to just be a "What If...?" of Episode 4, this comic dares to ask questions about a lot of things!

From one sandy planet to another, we head into the twisted reality that is Star Wars Infinites to ask ourselves, "What If..." but not really, because that's a Marvel thing and we're covering a Dark Horse book this week!

We're leaving one sandy planet for another and Frank Herbert is graciously not suing us as we take a break from our usual coverage for our monthly Panel Up! Time to head to the theaters for Dune Part 2 as we talk sequels, the larger Dune franchise and our thoughts on what the future might bring to the planet Arrakis.

Strap in for this one folks because Star Wars fill-in issues are always a doozy! As we wait (again) for the adaptation of Empire Strikes Back to begin, prepare for a journey out of Heavy Metal or 2000 AD. Oh, and also Luke Skywalker is there.

In which Mortal Kombat is declared but we must settle for a fight with some weird crystals around as a stage hazard. We are on the precipice of The Empire Strikes Back, but we must maintain our vigil of things that will be immediately ret-conned by the movie to come!

This week our hosts continue our coverage of the original Marvel Star Wars run with issue #36 where Luke Skywalker kills a horny panther. Not quite sure how else to put it...

In which our co-hosts discuss the latest in Marvel film news as well as Sony's most recent attempt at making a universe of their own, Madame Web.

Vader is finally here and he's wider than ever! Seriously, why did they draw him so wide? Prepare for a gripping first meeting between Luke Skywalker & Darth Vader that will be immediately forgotten when Empire comes out.

Let us take some time to juxtapose hard science-fiction with whatever Star Wars is! This week Infantino is at his pointiest, Luke Skywalker deals with momentum in space and the House of Tagge brings out the big guns.

This week our intrepid hosts discuss the recent Marvel Spotlight project Echo.

SABER CLASH! That's right, it's the Force vs Cybervision as Luke Skywalker faces off against Baron Tagge and Mike Gorgone goes deep on weird twists in the canon of House Tagge.

ALL ABOARD! Well looks like them rebel fellas are in a heap of trouble this week, what the Empire and the House of Tag givin' em no end of grief. But what's this? A Sand Crawler just in the nick of time? Time to hop along on the Jawa Express as we cover issue 32 of Marvel's original Star Wars comics!

Why can we never escape Tatooine?! We're back. Yet again. This time Luke, Han & Chewie find themselves hip deep in an Imperial plot that does not involve any Striking Back.

Leia is loose this week! Star Wars' favorite princess is romping around an imperial stronghold in this week's episode, causing all sorts of havoc as we cover the original Marvel run with issue number 30.
