"Deepening our understanding of Kylo Ren means illustrating that he is undeserving of his grandfather's mantle, and his struggle to become worthy is a glorious train wreck to watch."

Read @colinreedmoon.bsky.social's TPB review:

‘Star Wars: The Legacy of Vader – The Reign of Kylo Ren’ Vol. 1 reveals a villain struggling to find a struggle

Kylo Ren may be a petulant boy pretending at greatness, but it’s a joy walking the long shadow of Vader with him.

Read @jonwahizzle.bsky.social's TPB review:

‘Eddie Brock: Carnage Vol 1: Killing Me’ review: an odd, deadly couple

This is one of those rare titles where the hook not only meets your expectations, but exceeds them.

THE REIGN OF KYLO REN (vol 1) is out in trade paperback today!!! I hope, if you haven’t been reading the floppies, you’ll check this out. I think Luke Ross, Stefano Raffaele, Nolan Woodard, Joe Caramagna and I have been telling some great stories here.

The cover of LEGACY OF VADER: THE REIGN OF KYLO REN VOL 1: a very cool image of Kylo, masked with his effed-up saber blazing, with Vader’s mask looming in the background and fire and rage just ALL OVER IT.

Two stacks of hardcover copies of GOD'S JUNK DRAWER sit on a wooden table. One copy stand straight up between them, showing off the cover with bright green lettering and a dinosaur skeleton.

Love that book.

Charles Soule @charlessoule.bsky.social · 2d

Double-vaxxed pre-NYCC. (A little late, I know, but still glad I got it.)

I’m going to be in a small space with like 150,000 people - seems like the smart play.

I’ll be home for 12/31 days in October, which do not include Halloween, and five of which are in the past. Do I decorate the house anyway?

I have thoughts on this, but as per my usual policy, if I ever get to share my views on it it’ll be in a story. Otherwise, it’s just me spitballing.

Hey @charlessoule.bsky.social

After re reading The Rise of Kylo Ren I'm curious if the jedi (high republic and clone wars) had any familiarity with the Knights of Ren.

Would they have known they were around or would it be a Ki Adi Mundi "nah they're definitely gone" situation?

For the doomscrollers: I recently found a UK journalism outfit called Positive News. They publish a quarterly print magazine and a free weekly newsletter.

They run non-schmaltzy stories about actual positive world developments. I find it refreshing; you may too.

I’ll be at New York Comicon next weekend, October 9-12! I am saving up all my energy to shine it out at YOU like a spotlight that will warm your heart and soul for weeks after.

Artist’s Alley, Table F-39, almost certainly right next to @ryanbrowne.bsky.social . Look for the spotlight!
