Episode 419 -- Milk Run

We're taking a step back from our usual coverage of Star Wars comics to interview Bryan Reheil, a writer whose three-issue limited series from Scout Comics -- Milk Run -- debuts on Nov. 27.It's a great story, set in Philadelphia, about Zack Morgan who can create a portal that takes him as far back as 10 years in the past, something he uses to buy groceries to make ends meet, hence the "milk run" in the title. Yet his life starts to change as he ponders the subject of a true-crime podcast about the murder of two beloved social workers and he realizes he might be able to use his power for good.Written by Reheil, with art by Jarret Katz, colors by Robert Nugent, letters and design by Rob Jones and edited by James B. Emmett, it's a story that brings to mind time-traveling adventure akin to "Minority Report" and even "Back to the Future." We've read the first issue and, no lie, we're clamoring for the second one.The issue has two covers -- one by Katz and one by Laura Helsby -- and can be ordered at your comic shop, via Previews World or directly from Scout Comics.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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.
