Review: “Star Wars” #1 from Dark Horse
See the preview at http://www.darkhorse.com/Comics/19-812/Star-Wars-1 So, when I walked into my local comic shop (Neptune Comics – give them a try! I don’t make money by linking them; they’re just good people.), I wasn’t sure I was going to buy “Star Wars” #1. I knew the story — this takes place shortly after Episode IV, and it could be a continuity mess by treading in the waters of the established “Expanded Universe”. However, after I decided to pick it up, I jokingly told the owner, “Well, they can’t screw it up any more! And they may just burn it clean

So, on Sunday night, Science Channel aired “Firefly: Browncoats Unite”, a special commemorating the tenth anniversary of Joss Whedon’s beloved show. This, combined with their all-day marathon of the entire television series, filled me with the conflicting emotions of joy and anger. “Firefly” is one of those shows that if I find it on TV, I will most likely stop and watch, even though I’ve seen each episode dozens of times and have them all on DVD. The show is just that damn good. So, an entire day of the ‘Verse made me so happy. And it also made me

I’ll just let you process that title and link you to the press release on Yahoo! Ready? Ooof. I have no idea what to say. So many emotions are going through my head right now. When I was a kid, I wanted more of Luke, Han and Leia, Chewie, R2 and C3PO, Lando, etc. When the prequels were announced, I was so excited. Even as TPM and AOTS fell flat, I was still excited for ROTS. For the past few years, I’ve loathed the idea of more Lucas-involved movies. I didn’t want any more Star Wars movies precisely because I wanted more movies

I won’t say anything before the embed. Just watch. [youtube id=5EjG-1U3wqA] (This is the UK version, FYI.) Ooooo…. This is going to be a lot darker than the previous movies, which I like, as long as we keep some of the Tony Stark humor we’ve seen in previous outings. Ben Kingsley’s giving an interesting performance as the Mandarin. I can’t wait for May 3, 2013.

The Lounge at Chicago Comic Con 2012 was a very popular spot. It provided space to sit down, relax, charge up your phone/tablet/computer — and to look at some awesome Star Trek props! They had items representing nearly every era of Trek; in fact, I think the only eras missing were the 2009 movie and the animated series, although representing a prop from an animated series would be somewhat tricky…. Take a look at the cool items on display in our gallery below!
