Episode #159 -- The Enemy Within

We examine the penultimate issue in The Rise of Kylo Ren mini-series -- written by Charles Soule, illustrated by Will Sliney, colored by GURU-eFX and lettered by Travis J. Lanham -- as Ben Solo takes his first significant steps toward the Dark Side and into the sinister embrace of the Knights of Ren.

It's a profoundly unsettling issue, but in all the right ways, as Soule and Sliney craft a compelling narrative of a young man enveloped by turmoil, regret, doubt, fear and determination.

In news, we discuss planned second printings of Darth Vader #1 and Star Wars #2, while we weigh in on the win by "Parasite" for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
