Pfft.
I collected Star Wars comics for EIGHTEEN YEARS already. Where were you?
I've been reading those comics, bought all the books (yes, all of them....), keeping up with games, etc.
HAHA. sour puss.
I was a Star Wars fan before you were born and you ask where was I?
And just because you bought all of those books, most of them pretty damn badly written, makes you what? Better? Sorry if I like good stories.
I can count the good Star Wars Extended Universe stories on one hand ... maybe two hands if I stretch it. Sure, Timothy Zahn wrote a few good books and of course the Black Fleet and Han Solo stuff was all fine, and even Kathy Tyers(sp?) had some good ideas. Hell, I will even go as far as saying with the comics that the first 20 or 24 issues of Legacy were pretty damn good as was Star Wars Tales and Dark Empire had some moments, but lets not act like there were a lot of great stuff out there. 80% of the Star Wars Extended stuff was pretty damn bad and you know it.
I have no interest whatsoever in a reboot. Watching Luke learn-again- how to be a Jedi. The growing, budding romance of Han and Leia. Remnants of the Empire.
Yes, yes, bitch about this reboot because a new company took over yet still buy your "new" and "recently rebooted" Superman that has been restarted 5 or 6 times now ... by the same damn company. Yeah, that makes sense.
Enjoy buying any number of the 35 first issue variants.
Your hate about variants is confusing. Especially as I, like most comic buyers, have no interest in the variants. Just because a company makes them doesn't mean I have to buy them. But for those that do enjoy alternate covers, it gives them another thing to collect if they choose to. Calling them out for that ... that attempt at shaming ...
EDIT 2 - And its up to 45 variants now
-
According to this anyway Man, and I thought I was suppose to be the old grumpy guy on this forum.
EDIT - so you are not even going to see this movie then as it will ruin what the past books have said happened after the first three?
