I’ve been talking CHU Readers’ ears off about Aphra appearing as the last action figure variant for the Darth Vader series on Darth Vader #25. I think my first post speculating that Doctor Aphra was coming was June 6, 2016.
Earlier this week we showed off the Quesada, Samnee, and regular Gimenez variants.
Well, here it is, courtesy, as always of our German friends at Jedi-Bibliothek, the big pay off! Wait no longer! Continue reading “DrunkWooky's Special Star Wars Update Darth Vader #25 Granov and JTC”

Agent Poyo's Picks for August 3rd, 2016
Another week, another new comic book Wednesday. I finally caught up on some of the Rebirth titles I’ve been picking up and I must say, surprisingly one of the ones I like most so far is Titans. Batman is okay, not anything great yet. Wonder Woman is just kind of bland.. I swear if I see the phrase “the story keeps changing” I’m going to rip up the comic and send it back to Rucka with some dung in the package. Justice League wasn’t bad either.. I might pick up a few more to see where it’s going. Hitch is a much better writer than Rucka though.
So enough of my ranting.. let’s get on with the picks.. Continue reading “Agent Poyo's Picks for August 3rd, 2016”
