DC released their list of titles and creative teams this past weekend. There's at least a couple books I'll be trying out come the end of May. I'm sure we'll cover that on the podcast in a couple weeks. Until then, the Pull-List looks to remain fairly light.
First (and only) Place:
Star Wars #17
I'm not sure if its a rule for Star Wars writers that they need to split up the team. Heaven forbid we get to see the Big Three (Han, Luke and Leia) all in one place working together. I'm not too upset because at least we get some quality bro-time between Han and Luke. While they're out securing supplies for the Alliance, Luke gets a taste of the life of a smuggler Han's been leading. He's not a natural.
Meanwhile, Leia is dealing with an assault on Sunspot Prison. The design of this new mercenary by (I assume) Leinil Yu is sweet. It looks classic Star Wars. If you inserted this guy in Jabba's Palace in Return of the Jedi, he'd look like he's been there the whole time. Since I'm three seasons into The Clone Wars at this point, it's also neat seeing the use of the old thug droid design from the show.
These are the stories that need told between Star Wars movies, not other high stakes and unlikely encounters with Darth Vader. Leave that to the movies, guys.
Page of the Week:
Thug droids above and the new mercenary in the middle, all by Leinil Yu.
