This week’s theme: Magnificent Lettering!

Chewie always gives letterers a chance to strut their stuff. I love that every letter is a different shape and size. The design makes Chewie sound a little scarier than he is, but that seems appropriate for him. This comic is still old enough that its lettering was done by hand; I always prefer that authenticity. This is masterful craftsmanship by Lois Buhalis!

Other things of note in this panel:

that acidic, irrepressible color palette!

poor Leia and 3PO have to take care of the kids while Han heroically poses, facing danger dick-first

Vima is there

yes, that is that Emperor... Dark Empire gave us a post-RotJ “reborn” Palpatine clone decades before The Rise of Skywalker did (and it wasn’t a good idea back then, either)

you’ll recognize Iziz if you’ve ever played the KotOR games or read the Tales of the Jedi comics. Writers used to love that place. You can still find Onderon in the Clone Wars cartoons -- it’s the homeworld of the Gerreras and Bonteris, and its whole deal is that its politics are eternally fucked.

Basically, there is a lot going on here, but Lois’ lettering is the only thing I can take seriously.

“Dark Empire III: Empire’s End, issue 2: Rage of the Emperor.” Dark Horse. November 28, 1995. Writers: Tom Veitch and Mike Beidler. Penciller, Inker, and Colorist: Jim Baikie. Letterer: Lois Buhalis.

Star Wars: Trilogia Império Negro

Este mês chegou às livrarias mais um livro de banda desenhada Star Wars, editado pela Planeta. Paralelamente a algumas das séries editadas pela Marvel na nova continuidade daquele universo, a Planeta tem vindo a publicar algum do material editado originalmente antes de 2015, o qual foi rebatizado com o título Star Wars Legends (ou Lendas, em português). Tal é o caso da Trilogia Império Negro, com…

The March for Science Is Willing to Get Political. But Will It Welcome Religion?

How evangelical scientists square their place in the global movement.

Hundreds of thousands of researchers, educators, and doctors will take to the streets tomorrow, holding nerdy signs and sporting pins with slogans like “I Believe in Science.”

For many of them, that’s not all they believe in. Evangelicals’ involvement in the upcoming March for Science reflects their unique place in the sector. Despite all the motivations and concerns they share with their secular counterparts, there’s still some tension over how their faith fits in a field built on empirical facts—especially as the movement employs those facts toward political ends.

The event was initially inspired by fear over anticipated “gag orders” on government scientists following President Donald Trump’s inauguration. The march ballooned from Washington, DC, to more than 500 locations worldwide. Over the past three months, organizers pushed for the scientific community to find common ground to celebrate the role of scientific discovery in society and policy.

“I would hope that the presence of Christians in the march can show that theists and non-theists can look through the microscope together and come to the exact same conclusions,” said Mike Beidler, the president of the Washington, DC, chapter of the American Scientific Affiliation, a network for Christians in science. “The only difference is that the theist then moves beyond the awe of discovery to an attitude of worship of the Creator.”

More than 2 million of the 12 million scientists in the United States identify as evangelical, according to research by Rice University sociologist Elaine Howard Ecklund. March organizers nodded to faith’s place at the march when their diversity committee stated a ...

This week’s theme: “It’s like a rainbow!”

I’ve noticed that, due to my love for newspaper comics and storyboards, this blog can get a little black-and-white. And Star Wars in general has a muted, lived-in, all-around tan sort of color palette. But some comic panels are truly psychedelic!

Today, the finale to Dark Horse’s monumental Dark Empire trilogy asks the big question: what if superweapon is rainbow? This comic, called Empire’s End, is generally considered the weakest of the trilogy. I agree with this, but I also think they do stuff with color that no other Star Wars comic dares to do! Is it executed well? I don’t know about that, but at least it’s fabulous.

“Dark Empire III: Empire’s End, issue 2: Rage of the Emperor.” Dark Horse. November 28, 1995. Writers: Tom Veitch and Mike Beidler. Penciller, Inker, and Colorist: Jim Baikie (king!!!). Letterer: Lois Buhalis.
