stubbleupdate...sort of
On Thursday/Friday, I finally read Planetary, having read Global Frequency the week before. It's decent, but thank goodness I was able to binge read it, rather than wait 4 years between issues.
I enjoyed the Ellis's micro-takes on other, established characters and the way that their stories were told in their owns style.
( You are a wonder, my daughter )

icon_uk7 pages from Star Wars #3 and 4 pages from Star Wars #4
That means there are some big explosions, some political discussions of the post-Death-Star-kablooey! situation (They don't call it that, but you know they would if they could) and also rather a lot of Luke in a vest doing Jedi training. (Look, no one else has posted from this issue, so I get dibs on what pages get posted!)
( Big explosions and blond farmboy angst! )

Question - What do Alex Ross, Alex Maleev, Sara Pichelli, Alan Davis, Pascal Campion, Pasqual Ferry, Joe Quinones, Simone Bianchi, Dave Dorman, Stan Sakai, Mike McKone, Dale Keown, Stephanie Hans, David Peterson, Mike Mayhew, Mike Deodato, Mark Brooks, John Tyler Christopher, Greg Land, John Cassady, Jenny Frison, Amanda Conner, Skottie Young and Bob McLeod have in common THIS WEEK?
Answer - They ALL have variant covers of Star Wars #1 coming out... and that's not even all of them!
The release of Star Wars #1 from Marvel Comics this week is perhaps the publishing coup of the year, and you certainly can't say that Marvel and Disney and Lucasfilm haven't gone all out with the covers!
This is the main release cover...
Which is fine, and classic, and apporpriate and all///
( but that's not even scraping the surface )
