Marvel's Princess Leia.
« Reply #15 on: April 02, 2016, 06:50:00 PM »
    I've gotten way behind on these Marvel Star Wars comics. I've read the Princess Leia comic collection. I gotta say I wasn't thrilled. The Comic is definitely geared towards a female audience, all of the main characters are females. Which isnt terribe , just not relatable to me. Some parts were interresting, like her flashbacks as a child on Alderaan, and some other little tid bits. Like I always wondered why Leia comforts Luke after losing Obi wan who up until recently was just his crazy next door neighbor. When Leia lost her entire freggin planet, including her family and friends. Early in the series the story addresses that situation. The story takes place right after the ceremony on Yavin IV. She gets this idea to drop everything she's doing to find any Alderaanian citizens on other planets to try to preserve Alderaan's heritage. It reminded me slightly of Mr. Spock from Star Trek when his planet was destroyed in Abrams' version. Honestly I lost interest halfway through. But for female Leia fans it would be great.

    Like I said I've fallen way behind I still need to get Star Wars Vol.2 Vader Vol.2 and Chewbacca.

TFA: VISIUAL STORY GUIDE
« Reply #17 on: April 06, 2016, 05:47:03 PM »
   I went to Dollar General this morning to pick up a few things and found this Star Wars The Force Awakens: The Official Visual Story Guide. Its pretty awesome, it breaks down every scene, so when you watch the movie and read the magazine, its like having a commentary. Its filled with all kinds of info, some I knew, some nobody knows. Did you know Captain Phasma's armor was made of salvaged chromium from Palpatine's Naboo starcruiser? Pretty rad! It has some cool artwork and some simple blueprints. So pick it up and give it a read while watching The Force Awakens on blu ray.

I saw my Wal-Mart had some type of exclusive video guide too, but at 20 bucks it didn't seem substantial enough to sway me. With dollar general prices, I might have to pick this up.

time to get this info on the front page, thanks JDeck.

  Yeah it was only like 6 bucks at DG. If it were 20 yeah I wouldn't have touched it. Its cool but not $20 cool. Folks at Wally world must be losing their minds. The more they tighten their grip the more customers will slip through their fingers.

LOL. Not comic books? Guess that is a faux pas now.

Thanks for the info, it is on the front page.
