Lit Comics Marvel Star Wars: General News & Trades Discussion Thread

My copy of the Darth Vader hardcover is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
I haven't read any of it yet (except for the Vader Down crossover), so I'm excited!

 

Looks like they changed the cover for the Darth Vader volume 2 hardcover, I think I actually liked the old one better.

November solicits due tomorrow.

 

Do you think they will announce any new series or miniseries?

 

Who knows? Whatever they're up to they've kept quiet about it..... so far.

 

If we don't have a new series announced for the November releases I think we can practically be assured that the next ongoing will have something to do with Rogue One.

Nothing about the next ongoing for November? Yep. Think there is about a 90% chance now that it is going to be a sequel to Rogue One following some of the characters that survive.

 

Is there any chance of there being a Vader Annual #2, it doesn't have to tie in with the whole Cylo/Aphra thing that the series has been about. It can just be a simple story about Vader fighting rebels (preferably by himself)

Also anyone else find it weird that BOTH star wars annuals have been stories about ONE specific character, you think they'd make them ensemble stories featuring the big three like the original marvel annuals?

 

Your Darth Vader book is dead son.

 

Dissapointed that they still haven't said anything about a new series... Is it possible they're holding off on the announcement, or are they gonna wait until after Rogue One/TFA comic is done?

 

Jammin's theory is they'll do something after Rogue One, could happen.

 

If they are planning on doing a sequel tie in to Rogue One they would want to be careful about announcing it due to not giving away the who lives/dies at the end of the movie. If that is indeed what they are doing it would make sense why they are holding off an announcement.

If it doesn't have anything to do with Rogue One there simply are few logical reasons why they are holding off an announcement and especially given the fact that they are missing a month of a sure proof top 5/10 seller for the month of November.

 

I think I'm tripping. Like how. How is it possible? Howwww?

Spoiler

 

Is Leia's head still attached to her torso?

 

That's a lot of eyeballs to vape.

 

Don't worry guys. It's a panel from the new R2 story: "Do Androids Dream of Electric Murder". We finally get to find out what was going through R2's processors while he was waiting for the cue to wake up in Force Awakens.

That's just a traffic jam waiting to happen. I hope none of those TIE pilots are Boston drivers.

 

Heh, yeah, though it is a form of progress.

Previously, probably 2-3 years back, you'd have had Leia face, front and posterior all showing in a bone-breaking contortion too.

 

The artist is just trying to emphasize the agony one feels when your falling through space surrounded by TIE fighters.

 

I can't see the picture, what is it?

 

A hotlink to the cover to Star Wars #25 that died or was removed -- here's the image rehosted:

Spoiler

 

They should do a poll for what character gets the next series.

 

Boba Fett would be my pick. A solo run as strong as Vader's.

 

Has anyone noticed how the official Force Awakens comics are missing scenes? Important ones?

The last 2 issues cut out the dialogue where Rey and Finn recognize Han Solo and where Rey and Han say the same words at the same time.

Not a coincidence.
