Who is reading/loving Marvel's Star Wars Comics?

[drew]

For me, I like all of them but if I was to rank em:

1. Darth Vader
2. Star Wars
3. Kanan
4. Lando
5. Princess Leia

#1 and #5 are locked in but 2/3/4 are pretty close

Drew, I agree with your list (although I haven't read Kanan)

1. Darth Vader - 5 Stars
2. Star Wars
3. Lando
4. Princess Leia - so far the weakest of the titles I have read

I hope Marvel does not try to make the Star Wars comics like the "X-Men", with 15 different titles.

A nice touch would be to have the Star Wars comics with 'motion/sound effects' like the IDW comics app.

I haven't checked that out, sounds interesting

Only picking up Vader currently. But definitely picking up Star Wars #7 for the Kenobi story.

I'm loving Star Wars. I was initially disappointed to find out that it took place between Episodes 4-5 of the movie series, but every issue has been fun and left me wanting more. I'm not reading the other SW titles, as characters like Leia and Lando have never been favorites. The Vader title may be the best of the bunch, but I'm not reading it. I just can't fully enjoy a story, no matter how well told, when I can't root for any of the characters I'm reading about. During the Vader/Jabba confrontation, which was admittedly a thrill, I found myself pulling for Jabba to get Vader into the rancor pit and finish him off. He's a bad, bad man. (Wag finger.) Villain titles just aren't my cup of tea.

I can see that, I don't mind it myself but that makes total sense

Haven't read Kanan, so I can't speak to it, but I am enjoying the other 4. Would like to see an anthology title with 8-12 page stories featuring Wedge, Biggs, IG88, etc.

Not sure if I'm interested in a Chewbacca limited series. Groot didn't do much for me, and they seem to be similarly limited in their vocabulary.

I too was initially disappointed that they were kicking this off immediately after "A New Hope"'s conclusion, because I was a big fan of Brian Wood's run on the same timeline at Dark Horse, but I've enjoyed it immensely. Since Marvel has a good relationship with Wood, does anyone think he will get in on some of this action?

Brian Wood's run was great-too bad only 20% as many comic shops carried it compared to current iteration

Yes indeed. Does that lower print run create any collectibility value for that title? Or has Star Wars new series generally sucked the life out of the Dark Horse line back-issue market?

No value that I can see bralinator...beyond the #1 ($20-ish) and the rare variants

I just read Star Wars #1-6 straight through.

OMG It was fantastic! I love it so much. I keep trying to piece it together to how it fits in the trilogy timeline.

Vader was awesome, Han, Luke, Leia, Chewie.! Wonderful book! I need to catch up on Darth Vader issues now.

This is the best stuff Marvel is putting out right now and the sales show it in my opinion.

yeah - its a great shared universe with lots of potential new series and crossovers between all the SW titles...sky's the limit...I hope they keep the superheroes out of it though (I heard rumors)

[GABE!]

I've completely past on all the new Star Wars titles. I'm not a fan of the Star Wars universe and characters. But Stuart Immonen's art on issue #8 made me want to start reading it.
