00:00:00.370 --> 00:00:04.230
You're listening to Star Wars Splash Page, Comics in Review.
2
00:00:04.830 --> 00:00:09.050
This is episode number 522, and there ain't no comics
3
00:00:09.150 --> 00:00:09.970
in review.
4
00:00:09.990 --> 00:00:11.849
Hi, Jeff. How you doing, bud?
5
00:00:12.550 --> 00:00:16.530
Keep me all knowing, box sets stay open.
6
00:00:16.570 --> 00:00:22.300
May 4th, I'm hoping you're gonna be hot as before.
7
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:26.519
This rent looks hardcore, and I don't want Siths running
8
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:38.590
the galaxy. Hi, Matt. Yeah, we're looking at a drought
9
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:40.530
for the next couple of weeks, aren't we?
10
00:00:40.570 --> 00:00:42.329
Yeah, we are. As a matter of fact, it looks
11
00:00:42.350 --> 00:00:45.250
like we are not getting another comic book until October 14th.
12
00:00:45.270 --> 00:00:46.490
And we're going to get two.
13
00:00:46.509 --> 00:00:49.770
We're going to get the Chirrut and Bays one shot, woohoo,
14
00:00:50.630 --> 00:00:53.270
as part of the Rogue One 10th Anniversary miniseries. And
15
00:00:53.289 --> 00:00:55.609
we'll get the Book of Boba Fett number 307. But
16
00:00:56.250 --> 00:01:00.200
other than that, it's mostly graphic novels and trades and
17
00:01:00.229 --> 00:01:01.479
collected editions.
18
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:03.600
All right. So is there any news even to speak
19
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:04.180
of this week?
20
00:01:04.790 --> 00:01:06.849
Not necessarily so. I mean, if you want a good
21
00:01:06.870 --> 00:01:11.799
debate regarding the future of Marvel's Star Wars comics, head
22
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.439
over to the Star Wars Comics subreddit. One of the
23
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:16.980
users there posted up.
24
00:01:16.939 --> 00:01:19.099
Just a question. New series. I hope we get a
25
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.260
new series announced soon, as this is all a bit dire.
26
00:01:22.420 --> 00:01:25.980
A lot of people are going to kind of put
27
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.140
it in their wish lists in there. And of course,
28
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.489
we've got New York Comic Con next week, and Marvel...
29
00:01:32.069 --> 00:01:35.609
Traditionally and historically has always announced stuff there. And Lucasfilm
30
00:01:35.629 --> 00:01:37.530
does have a panel there, as does Mad Cave.
31
00:01:39.250 --> 00:01:40.859
Maybe next week we'll have some news then, yeah.
32
00:01:41.060 --> 00:01:43.579
Yeah, hopefully. Fingers crossed. I think we will.
33
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:49.140
We're in a dearth of content at the moment, but
34
00:01:49.219 --> 00:01:50.680
it's not going to be like that for a while,
35
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:51.140
I don't think.
36
00:01:51.180 --> 00:01:56.840
So we'll see. But that's basically it. We had December
37
00:01:56.859 --> 00:02:00.390
solicits were released. No real surprises there.
38
00:02:00.670 --> 00:02:04.430
We got the final, I can't even say we got
39
00:02:04.450 --> 00:02:06.950
the final solicit for the fall of Kylo Ren number five,
40
00:02:06.969 --> 00:02:09.229
because we had that on the feeds about three or
41
00:02:09.270 --> 00:02:09.870
four weeks ago.
42
00:02:10.750 --> 00:02:12.129
Thanks to our diligent sleuthing.
43
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:18.840
And then we got the book of Boba Fett, the
44
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:21.740
final issues of that one. So that gives us to
45
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.240
issue number seven, seven. But what was a surprise is
46
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.719
we are getting another facsimile edition. in December, we're going
47
00:02:29.740 --> 00:02:33.979
to get, uh, uh, Star Wars volume one, number 42, uh,
48
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.139
which is, you know, that famous Al Williams cover of
49
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.099
Dengar and Boba Fett and Bosk.
50
00:02:40.060 --> 00:02:42.000
And of course, I love that cover.
51
00:02:42.060 --> 00:02:43.340
Yeah. Yeah.
52
00:02:43.580 --> 00:02:43.800
Yeah.
53
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.379
And those, you know, those are always worth getting because a, yeah,
54
00:02:47.530 --> 00:02:49.830
they're like 499 or 599, but they're printed on modern
55
00:02:49.849 --> 00:02:53.889
paper and they reprint the entire actual physical comic ads
56
00:02:53.930 --> 00:02:57.009
and everything. So, and, uh, you know, that, that issue, uh,
57
00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:59.330
If you wanted the original, if you don't already have it,
58
00:02:59.379 --> 00:03:02.719
it can be kind of pricey.
59
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.620
So that'll be fun. And then that's kind of it.
60
00:03:06.659 --> 00:03:12.000
Because Mad Cave hasn't really released anything new aside from
61
00:03:12.020 --> 00:03:14.120
what we've already noted and reported.
62
00:03:14.659 --> 00:03:16.750
Right. And we'll see what happens.
63
00:03:17.310 --> 00:03:21.289
Well, I have a non-comics related review. Last week I
64
00:03:21.330 --> 00:03:25.469
finally got around to reading my world's weirdest edition, Batman
65
00:03:25.509 --> 00:03:30.099
and Superman, saved by Weird Al. Snagged a copy finally
66
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:33.360
and got it read last week. If you're unsure about
67
00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:36.159
it and you're a Weird Al fan, it's exactly what
68
00:03:36.180 --> 00:03:38.379
you want from the comic book. So just go pick
69
00:03:38.419 --> 00:03:39.949
it up and read it. You're going to enjoy it,
70
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.289
I promise. It basically starts out with a retelling of
71
00:03:43.310 --> 00:03:45.569
The Devil Went Down to Georgia, only it's an accordion
72
00:03:45.590 --> 00:03:49.090
and not a fiddle. And I'll just leave it at that.
73
00:03:49.129 --> 00:03:51.669
I won't say anything else to spoil anything else, but
74
00:03:51.789 --> 00:03:53.689
it is hilarious and exactly what you want.
75
00:03:54.550 --> 00:03:54.830
Excellent.
76
00:03:54.849 --> 00:03:57.330
Because I have a copy in my pull list box
77
Load full transcript
00:03:57.370 --> 00:03:58.729
at my comic shop.
78
00:03:59.210 --> 00:04:00.550
Let me know when you read it. I'll be interested
79
00:04:00.569 --> 00:04:02.270
to hear your thoughts. I thought it was hilarious and
80
00:04:02.349 --> 00:04:05.270
great and heartwarming and just, yeah, felt like a weird
81
00:04:05.349 --> 00:04:05.909
Al comic book.
82
00:04:06.389 --> 00:04:07.990
Well, then I'm going to make a recommendation as well,
83
00:04:08.009 --> 00:04:11.530
but not Star Wars. I'm going to make two recommendations.
84
00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:17.149
Mad Face Studios is publishing The Last Starfighter. which is
85
00:04:17.449 --> 00:04:18.470
a sequel to the movie.
86
00:04:18.970 --> 00:04:21.329
Oh, so not an adaptation, like a sequel series.
87
00:04:21.740 --> 00:04:22.680
It's a sequel series.
88
00:04:22.860 --> 00:04:23.319
Awesome.
89
00:04:23.939 --> 00:04:26.180
And the third issue just came out this past week.
90
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.060
And I got to tell you, it's a lot of fun.
91
00:04:28.139 --> 00:04:28.879
It's really good.
92
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:34.939
And they're doing, to my mind, what a comic book
93
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.769
should do when it's extrapolating upon an existing event or movie.
94
00:04:40.310 --> 00:04:40.689
Awesome.
95
00:04:40.990 --> 00:04:43.310
They have nailed it. There's only three issues so far.
96
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:45.220
It's totally worth checking out.
97
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.779
You could probably still get all three issues off the
98
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.730
shelf at your local comic shop. And what's even cooler
99
00:04:51.689 --> 00:04:54.029
is I think next month, or maybe it's later this
100
00:04:54.069 --> 00:04:55.790
month or not, but sometime in the next four to
101
00:04:55.810 --> 00:04:58.889
six weeks, they're going to have a last Starfighter one-shot
102
00:04:59.629 --> 00:05:02.470
that focuses on the fake Alex that was left behind
103
00:05:02.529 --> 00:05:03.350
when Alex left.
104
00:05:03.370 --> 00:05:03.910
The beta unit.
105
00:05:04.449 --> 00:05:07.129
Yeah, the beta unit. It's just a one-shot focusing on
106
00:05:07.149 --> 00:05:07.990
the beta unit.
107
00:05:08.110 --> 00:05:10.350
Okay, you sold me. I may wait for the trade
108
00:05:10.370 --> 00:05:12.009
just to have them all in one set because it's
109
00:05:12.069 --> 00:05:12.790
easier for me to store.
110
00:05:13.449 --> 00:05:14.550
Smart idea.
111
00:05:14.629 --> 00:05:16.970
I'm going to get that when it's available. I didn't
112
00:05:16.990 --> 00:05:18.750
even know about it. Thank you. That's great.
113
00:05:19.069 --> 00:05:23.160
You're welcome. Don't sleep on that series. And then lastly,
114
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.720
IDW has released the first issue of its new Star Trek.
115
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:35.120
And basically this series arises out of the end of
116
00:05:35.339 --> 00:05:38.149
the card season three. Which I still haven't seen. So
117
00:05:38.170 --> 00:05:40.610
the captain of the Enterprise is captain seven of nine.
118
00:05:41.329 --> 00:05:42.329
Still haven't seen any of it.
119
00:05:42.350 --> 00:05:42.529
Yeah.
120
00:05:42.550 --> 00:05:44.250
So I'll have to watch those before I check that out.
121
00:05:44.709 --> 00:05:47.750
The first edition of this was quite good. I saw
122
00:05:47.790 --> 00:05:49.149
it on the shelf and I thought, you know what?
123
00:05:49.290 --> 00:05:51.649
Why not? I'll give it a go. And I did
124
00:05:51.689 --> 00:05:52.709
not regret it at all.
125
00:05:53.620 --> 00:05:54.149
Outstanding.
126
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:54.540
All right.
127
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:56.420
Well, there's some recommends, even though we don't have any
128
00:05:56.579 --> 00:05:59.699
Star Wars comics to review. Obviously, no solicits for next week.
129
00:05:59.980 --> 00:06:02.779
We just have, what is it? Trades next week, right?
130
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.459
Yeah, all we got coming out next week is on
131
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.079
October 3rd, we get the Star Wars Comics Library Volume 1, 1977-79.
132
00:06:10.779 --> 00:06:15.100
This is from Tashin, and it collects the first 23
133
00:06:15.100 --> 00:06:21.350
issues of Marvel's Star Wars Volume 1 from 1977-78. It's oversized,
134
00:06:21.769 --> 00:06:26.410
it's gorgeous, it's got the ads, but it's $ 200. So,
135
00:06:26.589 --> 00:06:27.589
do with that what you will.
136
00:06:28.250 --> 00:06:28.449
Wow.
137
00:06:30.819 --> 00:06:34.319
All right, and then next week we have a trade coming, right?
138
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:37.139
Nope, nope, nope, nope. Oh, no, that's right.
139
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:39.620
We were supposed to get The Smugglers and Scoundrels, The
140
00:06:39.660 --> 00:06:43.019
Race for Jabba's Bounty, original graphic novel from Mad Cave Studios,
141
00:06:43.060 --> 00:06:46.360
slash paper cuts, but that's been pushed back to, it
142
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.680
looks like, November 17th.
143
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:52.490
Okay, so Mad Cave is taking Dark Horse's route of
144
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:53.430
delaying books already.
145
00:06:53.610 --> 00:06:53.819
Great.
146
00:06:57.019 --> 00:06:58.680
Maybe that will just give them more time to give
147
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.379
us a review copy. We'll go with that.
148
00:07:02.019 --> 00:07:02.449
There you go.
149
00:07:02.819 --> 00:07:04.519
All right. Well, we'll be back next week to discuss
150
00:07:04.579 --> 00:07:06.519
anything that we do find out between now and then,
151
00:07:06.579 --> 00:07:09.220
but probably not any comics because we have none coming out.
152
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.939
So until then, for Star Wars Flash Page, I'm Jeff.
153
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.290
And I am Matt.
154
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.629
May the Force be with you.
155
00:07:15.750 --> 00:07:16.230
Always.
156
00:07:16.389 --> 00:07:19.470
The Star Wars Flash Page.
157
00:07:19.230 --> 00:07:20.910
Theme song is Mark Hamill Can Handle by Chris Cape.
158
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.370
Check Chris out at chriscape.com and on SoundCloud, on Twitter
159
00:07:28.470 --> 00:07:55.889
