Alex O'Connor is an American author surviving the burning heat of Florida with dreams of moving to the Pacific Northwest. Spending what time he is not crafting new worlds from words, he enjoys playing games (of all realms) and enjoying time with the best dog ever, Riley. Alex would like to thank his family and friends for their patience over the nine-and-a-half years and two major story restarts. Over the course of this time, they have heard murmurs of the story he was continuing to craft while working, completing college, and making it over the hurdles that life tried to block his path with. Finally, he hopes that his family and friends, as well as all who find this, will enjoy reading not just his debut novel, but the entire Celestial Sag ...more

This was a lot better than the Andor comic in just about every way. Jyn’s story was actually one that made sense to tell. With Cassian’s, that just didn’t feel like one that needed to be told.

So far, both comics have done a great job of showing where

Issue #3 has been the best of the series so far. This issue truly showed the powers of the Force wielded by Darth Vader. It gets five stars for the fact that Vader barely had to move a muscle.

“Diplomatic Impunity” has made the best use of the black,

The last time I read a Green Arrow comic was over ten years ago. I think that I lost braincells due to how bad it was.

Thankfully, while reading the first issue of Absolute Green Arrow, it was the opposite experience. I like seeing a more violent Gree

“The Inhabitant” and “Return to Hoth” were pretty cool. It was cool to see the return of a formidable creature from the Star Wars universe on Hoth. I wonder if there is a statistic for how many officers Vader has Force choked?

This series wasn’t my fa

Issue #2 seemed to be an upgrade from the first. Part two of “Hard Shutdown” was better than the first and I enjoyed the other two stories in this issue as well. The power of Darth Vader was on full display which is always fun to see. I also liked ho ...more

Peach Momoko’s “Inescapable” had some of the most horrifying visuals in all of Star Wars. Beautiful and terrifying. I like to think of the character as someone who is Force sensitive, that knows Vader is hunting those who are and is scared of him. Pe ...more

This issue again shows how failure is a powerful teacher. It also showed how Count Dooku was well on his way down the path to the Dark Side of the Force. Dooku also did a fair amount of gaslighting, blaming Qui-Gon for what happened. Something that I ...more
