Episode #42: The Forces of Star Wars Destiny Are Strong

IDW Publishing makes a strong debut with the first of its five-issue Star Wars: Forces of Destiny series, while in the pages of Marvel's flagship Star Wars monthly, Luke Skywalker's bright light dims as he tackles a very real vestige of the dark side on the Jedha moon in issue 41 of Star Wars.

In news, comics fans who enjoy reading head canon should take a look at the latest offering from Sam Bradbury, a budding comics writer and artist from Manchester in the U.K.

The first issue of his series, titled "Spark of Defiance," is available on the Bradbury Comics web site.

Also, a question: Why was Marvel editor Heather Antos watching "Revenge of the Sith" for work? We have some half-hearted, humorous and wholly ill-informed guesses.

Star Wars comics out this week include:
_ Darth Vader #10
_ Star Wars: Forces of Destiny — Rey
