    Star Wars: The Screaming Citadel #1 does the best it can to kickstart the Star Wars comic line that has stalled as of late.

    It's Marvel Star Wars.

This first issue delivers and has me anxiously awaiting what comes next. Read Full Review

    Marvel's second Star Wars crossover is shaping up to be stronger than the first.

Kieron Gillen and Marco Checchetto are the ideal creative team to play in a galaxy far, far away. Read Full Review
