Star Wars #48 - "Mutiny at Mon Cala, Part V"

[laughing_tree]

It makes watching the movies a weird experience. Like when I was watching Rogue One, there were a couple bits I just laughed at and I was the only person in the cinema who laughed, because of course I knew what I’d been told no for something like two years ago. I initially suggested having [Voidgazer] in the Death Star gunner outfit because it’s a great outfit and using that would be really cool, and I was basically told, “No, you can’t do that. Hard no.” And of course you get to the bit when Jyn uses it as a disguise. It’s this very very minor no, but “Ohhhh, now it makes sense.” -- Kieron Gillen

Jao sat in prison for his desertion.

[thanekos]

(He'd ended up in custody as a consequence of saving Ania's life.)

Ania tried, unsuccessfully, to appeal for his release.

Talking over her failure with her friends, she heard that Jao'd apparently escaped custody.

She was then taken away by stormtroopers of the Empire.

She was taken to Empress Fel.

Angelic #4 - "Heirs and Graces, Part 4"

[laughing_tree]

If we’ve done our jobs right — and I have to say the number of adorable testimonials we’re getting from our comics heroes saying stuff like “I loved it! So did my kid!” suggests we’re on the right track — then when we say “all ages” we really do mean it. -- Si Spurrier

PC WORLD: What are the common pitfalls that these sorts of projects fall into when it comes to representing history?

GARTH ENNIS: Specific to comics, introducing fantasy- as soon as superheroes, dragons, giant robots or whatever make their way into a war story it’s instantly killed stone dead, as far as I’m concerned. Other problems are common to all media when producing historical fiction- a writer failing to consider how people acted, spoke and thought at the time and instead imposing his or her own 21st century values and mannerisms on the characters; or lack of proper research; or a failure to consider characters in context, so that they know what we know with hindsight, rather than what they would have known at the time.

Batman: White Knight #8

[cyberghostface]

"I think a lot of readers think Joker is really sexy, but it’s not okay to say that you think a total sociopath is sexy, right? So! You get rid of the crazy, and maybe this could be the sexiest Joker. Hopefully. This book will make it okay to think Joker is sexy." -- Sean Murphy

AVENGERS 348: Mending fences

[starwolf_oakley]

The new LIFE OF CAPTAIN MARVEL miniseries is supposed to cover Carol Danvers' past. Including something we've never seen as a result of something most Carol fans hate.

Even though AVENGERS #200 is a blight on the history of both the Avengers and Carol Danvers, AVENGERS ANNUAL #10 attempted to salvage the story. By Carol saying she hated the Avengers and some stuff about them needing to do better, whatever that meant. And then she went into space with the X-Men, got Binary powers, and spent some time with the Starjammers. And after a while she rejoined the Avengers.

So, how did she mend fences with the Avengers?
