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, the news came out yesterday that Disney is still looking at the live-action Star Wars television series. Here’s my quick take on it. They’re going for grim and gritty. They want to explore the “seedy underside” of that galaxy. They want “Deadwood” in the Star Wars Universe. Listen. The most adult/grown-up channel Disney owns is ABC. They don’t own a Spike, or an FX, or even an AMC. ABC. Grim and gritty is going to be sanitized a lot for ABC. Ron Moore’s attachment brings some good news, but even “Battlestar Galactica” and “Caprica” had some real clunker plotlines. Take the bad

[Spoilers for The Amazing Spider-Man #698-700 and The Superior Spider-Man #1.] Dear Dan, (Can I call you Dan? The only reason I ask is that these open letters usually start that way, with the writer asking if it’s okay to be on a first-name basis with the recipient. And I hate to buck a trend.) You probably know why I’m writing. I’m writing because you have thoroughly desecrated, trashed, maimed, and destroyed Spider-Man. Trust me — even before I read The Amazing Spider-Man #700, I knew you had done it. Heck, I didn’t even need to read #698 to know that you were the
