Episode #14

It's been awhile, but not as long as the wait for Episode VIII is going to be. Still, it was worth it, given co-hosts Matt Moore and Jeff McGee dive into the comics released since our last issue back in January. (Has it really been almost a month?) and also examine the final sales estimates for comics in 2015, as compiled by John Jackson Miller at his Comichron website. Kanan, issue #10 (just two more issues to go until it comes to an end) sees Caleb Dume, the Clone Troopers and Master Billaba d...

Episode #13 -- Vader's Down, Kanan's Ending

After a holiday break -- and a momentous distraction at the cinema -- the Star Wars stories in Marvel's comics are calling to us again and are they ever loud! (Have you felt it?) From the conclusion to the best-selling Vader Down crossover to further exploration of a young Caleb Dume's performance as a padawan in the Clone Wars to finding out what, exactly, happened to that medal Chewbacca got for helping to destroy the Death Star, the most recent batch of comics carries the Saga's undercurrents...

Episode #12 -- Star Wars Annual #1 and Star Wars #13

While we may be light on issues -- it's just Star Wars Annual #1 and Star Wars #13 -- this 12th issue of Comics With Kenobi is laden with detail and discussion from hosts Matt Moore and Jeff McGee about the ongoing Vader Down Crossover and the pulling back of the curtain on Coruscant, too.

Episode #11 -- Vader Down Begins, Star Wars #12, Chewbacca #4 and Darth Vader #13

Vader is down, but actually Darth Vader is really up. So far up that all the hype surrounding the six-issue crossover IS worth it! He's also amazingly lethal and so precise that it's scary. Sidious plus Dooku plus Darth Maul plus Kylo Ren scary. But that's just one part of this issue of Comics With Kenobi as hosts Jeff McGee and Matt Moore examine how Caleb Dume reacts to becoming a padawan in the pages of Kanan #8 and agreeing that the Han Solo's wife storyline, while intriguing, was a bit of a...

Episode #10 -- Chewbacca #3, Darth Vader #12 and Star Wars #11

This time it's really issue 10 and we're three-fifths of the way through Chewbacca and seeing some solid character development for our favorite walking carpet and learning even more about some of our favorite characters and how they deal with adversity. Meanwhile, in the pages of Darth Vader #12, friendships are forged -- as much as anyone can call a Dark Lord of the Sith "friend" -- and hosts Matt Moore and Jeff McGee are starting to warm on Inspector Thanoth (his ISB security handle should be ...

Episode #9 -- Star Wars on LINE Webtoons, Shattered Empire #4, Darth Vader and Kanan

For Issue nine -- not 10, we swear it -- things get deep as we discuss the conclusion of Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens -- Shattered Empire, noting not just its role in leading up toThe Force Awakens, but how it exemplifies a shift in attitude toward major female characters not named Princess Leia or Mon Mothma, that being that they not just survive, but appear to thrive. We also discuss Darth Vader, Kanan's return to the Clone Wars, LINE Webtoons, and debate the eternal question: do wo...

Episode #8 -- Darth Vader, Star Wars, Shattered Empire and Lando

We also parse parse the events of the second arc of Star Wars: Kanan, as the team from Star Wars: Rebels returns to the planet Kaller, site of some of the most intensely personal experiences that turned Caleb Dume into Kanan Jarrus.

Episode #5 -- Kanan #5 and Shattered Empire Look-Ahead

In today's issue, Jeff McGee and Matt Moore give fair warning about how epic Marvel's upcoming Shattered Empire mini-series is likely to be, talking in depth about the crux of its lead characters and how the stalwarts we know and love from the films aren't likely to be front and center. Then we dive, deep, into all of the Star Wars comics being published by Marvel, discussing the merits of Kanan #5 and how the series, which concludeds its first story arc, has been the breakout fan favorite of th...
