One of the things that makes the recent series of Marvel Star Wars comics so interesting is that, unlike their earlier run in the 1980s and the Dark Horse comics in the 1990s they have much more of the canonical franchise to work with. A case in point is this volume, in which the intrepid trio retur...

Really stunning all across the board. The art is stylistically interesting and really lovely to look at - despite the detail work it feels very smooth and dreamy. The story itself hits me right where I live, so to speak. A bunch of teens in the 90s play an RPG that transports them into the fantasy w...

The fantastic storytelling, humor, and lush art help, true, but I'm 100% going to continue this for the murderous robots.

The premise behind this volume is that the power of the “new” gods is getting out of hand and uncontrollable. They turn on each other and several die. As they vie for supremacy, the rest of the world pays the price. It all centres around Persephone. With bloody scenes and some sexual ones, this volu...

Laura is obsessed with these pop stars who happen to be Gods reincarnated. The Gods come back every 90 years but do not hang around for long because they tend to die young. Some people love the Gods others think they are a nuisance or fraud. There is a murder, Lucifer aka Luci is framed and sent to ...

It's actually really interesting to me how Gillen was able to take a really old-fashioned character and made him feel new - especially within the context of the story he was telling. Bond is a very old staple, but in these pages he's revamped, young (perhaps there could be some criticism in how a lo...

The “new gods” spend a lot of time jostling for position and arguing. There's a lot of talk particularly from Cassandra as they seek a suitable response to the Great Darkness. Many are incredibly self-centred and ignore the others. Still confusing but the artwork is excellent and well-executed. Th...

Re-establishes Darth Vader as the badass from the original trilogy, and introduces some amazing new characters to the canon, Doctor Aphra, 0-0-0 and BT-1. What's not to love?

I've never read Origin II; I wasn't that crazy about Origin. Part of the mystique, part of the wounded duck aspect, that I enjoyed with Wolverine was about him having a past shrouded in amnesia. Which kind of makes me feel awful, but there was so much to mine there! Origin didn't do it for me...

And it was well worth it. Not sure if I'll get the rest, just because I'm not a massive Al Ewing fan, and I want to get through more of my Comixology backlist first - and boy, is the iPad ever helping with that task. This was fun, very much an Iron Man story: a woman he's courting, a technologica...
