Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Brand new comic coming on Wednesday! Knight Errant: Aflame #5 will be awaiting comic buyers in the shops tomorrow.
Question: Is that Jareth the Goblin King on the cover? No, wait: Don’t tell me. I think I prefer the crazy crackfic my imagination is now spouting due to this development. (Bonus Bowie-related content.)
Not much on the menu for this week, but comic fans will find the first trade collection of The Old Republic: Blood of the Empire waiting for them on Wednesday.
No books, no comics, but you might now be able to find Star Wars Insider #123 in stores.
Also, I’ve been hearing that some folks are having difficulties finding the Knight Errant novel at Borders – which may be part of their vendor payment issues – but I haven’t been to a Borders since mid-January. Have you had any luck?
Today brings our first book release of the new year, John Jackson Miller’s Knight Errant.
You might have heard of it, since John Jackson Miller has been going above and beyond for this one. There’s a three-part Q & A on his blog (Plus a LEGO look at the Diligence,) an interviews with Lightsaber Rattling, About.com and, oh yeah, one with us. I’m not sure the guy sleeps.
And because it never rains when it can pour, there are two comics out Wednesday: Darth Vader and the Lost Command #1 (which I keep reading as The Last Command, which is so not right) and Legacy: War #2. Someone has set Nyna Calixte’s makeup gun to ‘whore’ and man is she pissed!
Meanwhile, if you’re wondering what to do with that spare $3000 you have laying around and want your coffee table and your coffee table books to be an all-in-one package, Frames is available for pre-order on Star Wars Shop. And to think people bitch about buying hardcovers…
It’s another week of slim picking for releases – unless you happen to be on the prowl for Marvel reprints. Arriving in comic shops on Wednesday is the third A Long Time Ago… omnibus, collecting issues #50–#67 of Marvel’s Star Wars series from the 80’s.
Coming to comic shops on Wednesday is Knight-Errant #4. And don’t forget we’re just two weeks out from the release of the Knight Errant novel!
After eight preview chapters and a moderate amount of hype, Joe Schreiber’s Red Harvest will be in stores today. If you liked Death Troopers or have a yen for zombie Sith, you’ll no doubt be pleased. (Here are a few facts about the book.)
…And that’s it as far as releases. Goodnight, 2010!
There’s still a few more releases to squeeze in before the year ends… Invasion: Rescues #6 ships on Wednesday. Star Wars Insider #122 (with Savage Opress spoilers) should also be in stores sometime this week, if you haven’t spotted it already.
It’s the beginning of the end in Legacy: War #1, giving you at least one reason to head for the comic shop on Wednesday.
Look for Knight Errant: Aflame #3 and the tenth Legacy trade collection, Extremes, in comic shops on Wednesday. The second Clone Wars Magazine might also make an appearance.
