Episode #213 -- I Ain't Livin' Long Like This
from Star Wars Splash Page · host Jeff McGee and Matt Moore
Marvel's Bounty Hunters steps into a new story arc that, despite all odds, manages to draw in characters from The Mandalorian and The Force Awakens while calling back to prior events in the Han Solo: Imperial Cadet mini-series. The story, by Ethan J. Sacks, Paolo Villanelli, Arif Prianto and Travis Lanham doesn't skip a beat in what's proven to be Marvel's most kinetic Star Wars comics title.From IDW comes Star Wars Adventures: Smuggler's Run #1, the first of a two-part mini-series that adapts the Greg Rucka novella of the same name and is itself a reprint of the four-issue series that was published in Germany. Adapted by Alec Worley, illustrated by Ingo Römling, lettered by Amauri Osorio and translated by Edward Gauvin, it's a rousing story about Han Solo and Chewbacca on a mission to recover a Rebel asset at Princess Leia's behest. We loved the art and the exposition and are eager for issue #2.As for news, it's all The High Republic all the time, what with new covers, a 2nd printing for issue #1 announced before the 1st printing is even released, and more.Upcoming Star Wars comics:Dec. 30 _ Star Wars Adventures #3 Jan. 6_ Star Wars #10_ Star Wars: The High Republic #1 _ Darth Vader #7 (2nd Printing)Jan. 13 _ Darth Vader #9Jan. 20 _ Doctor Aphra #7Jan. 27 _ Bounty Hunters #9 _ Star Wars Adventures: Smuggler’s Run #2 (of 2)_ Star Wars: The High Republic #1 (2nd Printing)_ Star Wars Adventures #4_ Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2), Vol. 1, “Fortune and Fate” TPB _ Beware Vader’s Castle (Collects Tales From Vader’s Castle and Return to Vader’s Castle mini-series) HC _ Star Wars Adventures, Vol. 11, “Rise of the Wookiees” TPB _ Star Wars Adventures: The Clone Wars — Battle Tales TPBFeb. 3 _ Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures #1_ Star Wars #11_ Star Wars: The High Republic #2 Feb. 10 _ Darth Vader #10_ The Phantom Menace Graphic Novel Adaptation from IDW _ Star Wars Insider #200 (Peach Momoko Cover)Feb. 17 _ Star Wars Adventures #5_ Star Wars Adventures #6_ The Rise of Skywalker Graphic Novel Adaptation TPB (IDW)Feb. 24 _ Doctor Aphra Omnibus HC_ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: “The New Republic,” Vol. 5 TPBMarch 3 _ Star Wars: The High Republic #3March 10_ Star Wars #12March 17_ Bounty Hunters #10March 24 _ Doctor Aphra #8April 7_ Star Wars (Vol. 3), Vol. 2, “Tarkin’s Will” TPBJuly 7_ Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic Omnibus Vol. 1 Announced But as Yet Unscheduled Comics _ The Mandalorian titles from Marvel & IDW----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Star Wars Splash Page is a weekly podcast dedicated solely to contemporary Star Wars comics published by Marvel, Dark Horse and previously IDW, featuring views about the current week's comics, interviews with the writers, artists, colorists, letterers and editors who create them, as well as the latest details on publishing schedules, upcoming series and mini-series, so that you, the listener have more detail and context about the comics that are a vital part of Star Wars canon, lore and legends.
