A Star Wars: Return of the Jedi – Empire #1 Micro-Review – No Action, No Aliens
***This is where we keep it nice and simple. Comic book reviews in 100 words or less. Straight, concise, and to the point.***
TITLE: Star Wars: Return of the Jedi – Empire #1
AUTHOR: Jody Houser
ARTISTS: Jethro Morales, Dee Cunniffe (Colorist), Joe Sabino (Letterer). Cover by Ryan Brown.
RELEASED: June 7, 2023
I like me a good smaller-scope story set in the Star Wars universe. Sometimes I think that’s what the main Star Wars title should be. Case in point, this simple story about an Imperial worker on Endor who’s simply trying to make friends among his peers.
Jethro Morales has an unenviable task here, if you think about it. He’s got to draw a Star Wars story without a lot of aliens or action scenes, and still make it interesting. To his credit, though, he pulls it off.
Still loving these Ryan Brown covers.

As the cover indicates, we get a character death in this issue. The problem is, the character who dies never had a role of substance in the book. We established that they were around, but that’s about it. We never told any interesting stories about them being in Spider-Man’s orbit, how their relationship with him evolved, etc. They were just there for the sake of being there. Almost as if they weren’t put there for any reason other than to be killed off later…
What a waste.

Deadpool busts out a good ol’ fashioned Three Stooges style eye poke in this issue. As a Stooges fan, I enjoyed that.
I wonder what the creators of Lady Deathstrike think about her being used as what is essentially a babysitter for a giant symbiote dog…
Only seven issues in, I’m finding I’m already rather protective of Wade’s relationship with Valentine Vuong. If she backstabs him, I’m going to be inconsolable.

I haven’t read nearly as much Doctor Doom content as I perhaps should have. But one thing I’ll never deny is that Doom is inevitably fun to read. He is a narcissist that refers to himself in the third person, after all. Ryan North has a great handle on the character.
And what happens when you give a time machine to a narcissist? The results aren’t nearly as catastrophic as you might think.
Question: How much longer is Johnny Storm going to have his fu manchu? It may have run its course, I think…

A She-Hulk #13 Micro-Review – The Team-Up That Wasn’t There

TITLE: She-Hulk #13

It looks like we’ve got a love triangle coming our way in She-Hulk. I ain’t mad at it. At least Rainbow Rowell got me to care about Jack of Hearts, one of the guys, before it started…
Patsy Walker, a.k.a. Hellcat, is indeed in this issue as the cover suggests. But the cover also kind of suggests it’s a team-up, which it isn’t. On the plus side, this is another positively gorgeous Jen Bartel covert.

This second issue of Planet of the Apes was a little exposition-heavy, as we further build the world and time period the book is set in. Some of that dialogue is clunky. But by and large, this issue is a decent continuation of what we got from issue #1. I’m still hooked in hard.
Dave Wachter and Bryan Valenza’s art continues to be absolutely beautiful. They’re tailor-made for a book like this.
