Taral-DLOS EUC Staff Joined: 23 Nov 2010 Posts: 1242 Location: Ontario, Canada I haven't picked mine up yet, but I wanted to flag this: http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/05/24/star-wars-darth-vader-and-the-ghost-prison-1-review Joey Esposito is one of the comic reviewers over at IGN. He runs a podcast called "IGN Assemble!" that I listen to every week. Star Wars comics never get good publicity by the big-boys in comics. They almost never make it into the Top 50 bestselling comics of any given month. Most comic book reviewers go where the money is, and review the books that are popular (the ones put out my Marvel or DC, mostly). So it's incredibly rare that a Star Wars comic gets singled out and reviewed so well. Mr. Esposito even tweeted about it, which is also rare. These are good signs _________________ It was the year of fire… the year of destruction… the year we took back what was ours. It was the year of rebirth… the year of great sadness… the year of pain… and the year of joy. It was a new age. It was the end of history. It was the year everything changed. The year is 2261. The place: Babylon 5.

There's tons of us but Batman and Spider-Man have older, more long-running fans and they will buy whatever comes out related to it. _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice.

I had an image in mind of a 100 year old Sheldon Cooper walking into the comic store ... I must admit that I wasn't too impressed with what I was hearing about this comic book series. With all this good press I'll have to delve deeper, possibly re-evaluate my position. _________________ I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar. That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him. That doesn't mean I prefer the PT over the OT, or vice versa. That doesn't mean I hate the EU, or even love all of it. These are not prerequisites. Being a man is not a prerequisite. Being a geek is not a prerequisite. The only prerequisite is that I love something about Star Wars. I am a Star Wars fan.

It also doesn't hurt that Haden Blackman writes one of my other favorite comics right now, Batwoman. This man needs to write more, he's a really good writer. _________________ "That's just my opinion, I could be wrong" TK-5990 EUCantina Comic Book Reviewer
