DARTH VADER HAS A VISION OF THE FUTURE, SHOWING THE RESURRECTION OF AN ANCIENT DROID THREAT! For ep 120, Mike delves into the one-shot special by Marc Guggenheim which stretches across all ongoing runs of Star Wars comics (excluding The High Republic) to give an idea of what new threat is looming during & after the Hidden Empire crossover event. Vader sees many potential futures thanks to the Eye Of The Webbish Bog, but what do these futures all mean and can Vader change any of them? This is a must-listen for fans of the 2020 runs of Star Wars, Darth Vader, Doctor Aphra and Bounty Hunters comics!
This episode was first released on the feed of Comics In Motion, in February 2023.
Star Wars Revelations 1 was released November 23rd 2022 and was written by Marc Guggenheim. Guru eFX & Dono Sánchez-Almara are the colour artists, while Salvador Larroca, Pere Perez, Emma Kubert, Justin Mason, Paul Fry & Wayne Faucher are all pencil/ink artists who worked on the comic.
The other comic episodes set between Crimson Reign & Hidden Empire are 114 for Bounty Hunters, 115 for Star Wars, 117 for Doctor Aphra, 119 for Darth Vader and Crimson Reign 5 was tackled in ep 110. Also listen to episode 81 of SWCIC for the story how Fortress Vader was built!
Last episode, Quest For The Hidden City was the focus, where Mike provided an overview of Phase 2 of The High Republic, including how it differs from Phase 1 and what Pathfinder teams are, before providing his spoiler-free thoughts on the novel. He then reads the blurb and provides more information on the book, lightly speaking about characters and themes. After reading the crawl, Mike gives the final spoiler-warning and talks in-depth about the characters and gives an overview of the book’s plot, some connections to other content and more!
