About the author
Jason Aaron
2,337 books1,695 followersJason Aaron grew up in a small town in Alabama. His cousin, Gustav Hasford, who wrote the semi-autobiographical novel The Short-Timers, on which the feature film Full Metal Jacket was based, was a large influence on Aaron. Aaron decided he wanted to write comics as a child, and though his father was skeptical when Aaron informed him of this aspiration, his mother took Aaron to drug stores, where he would purchase books from spinner racks, some of which he still owns today.
Aaron's career in comics began in 2001 when he won a Marvel Comics talent search contest with an eight-page Wolverine back-up story script. The story, which was published in Wolverine #175 (June 2002), gave him the opportunity to pitch subsequent ideas to editors.
In 2006, Aaron made a blind submission to DC/Vertigo, who published his first major work, the Vietnam War story The Other Side which was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Miniseries, and which Aaron regards as the "second time" he broke into the industry.
Following this, Vertigo asked him to pitch other ideas, which led to the series Scalped, a creator-owned series set on the fictional Prairie Rose Indian Reservation and published by DC/Vertigo.
In 2007, Aaron wrote Ripclaw: Pilot Season for Top Cow Productions. Later that year, Marvel editor Axel Alonso, who was impressed by The Other Side and Scalped, hired Aaron to write issues of Wolverine, Black Panther and eventually, an extended run on Ghost Rider that began in April 2008. His continued work on Black Panther also included a tie-in to the company-wide crossover storyline along with a "Secret Invasion" with David Lapham in 2009.
In January 2008, he signed an exclusive contract with Marvel, though it would not affect his work on Scalped. Later that July, he wrote the Penguin issue of The Joker's Asylum.
After a 4-issue stint on Wolverine in 2007, Aaron returned to the character with the ongoing series Wolverine: Weapon X, launched to coincide with the feature film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Aaron commented, "With Wolverine: Weapon X we'll be trying to mix things up like that from arc to arc, so the first arc is a typical sort of black ops story but the second arc will jump right into the middle of a completely different genre," In 2010, the series was relaunched once again as simply Wolverine. He followed this with his current run on Thor: God of Thunder.

Great story arc with Yoda and the mountain. Been tearing through these issues at light speed.

An extremely unique and creative Star Wars story arc. Ambitious, yet great delivery. Yoda is the main character who visits an alien world where the rules of what we understand 'Normal Star Wars' to be are off the table.
Very well done!
Also, giving compliments where they are due... I am really enjoying the version of Luke in this. He is no longer the whiney, zero-confidence, wannabe. He is (finally) starting to find himself.
Quite the interesting twist at the end... unsure how this will conclude, which I suppose is a good thing! Hoping for a strong finish!

Interesting that this jumps between eras (pre-TPM, between ROTS and ANH, and between ANH and TESB). I was also fascinated by Yoda's companion wanting to use one of the stones so Yoda couldn't use his powers to save him. But I am still not sure how to feel about this idea of a mountain that is actually alive. I did like the Greedo cameo and did wonder whether I might have seen Bobbajo or just someone of the same species.

No lo he dicho, pero el hecho de que todo el arco argumental esté dibujado por Larroca y coloreado por Delgado, es un "must". Final sorprendente a pesar de que esperaba algo similar. Una gran historia para un gran personaje, con ramificaciones que llegan hasta Obi-Wan y, como no, Luke, que es quién está leyéndola en las páginas del diario que este último le legó.

Star Wars 28
“The Jedi Master climbed the rest of the way alone. More than the climb .. it was the silence that pained him. .. That is why stories must be preserved and passed on. So the learning never stops.”
Ok, rather slow and dull, but with interesting moments.

yoda secret war #2, Mystery getting revealed

I'm not sure where this story is going, though I have an idea what the mountain is, but still amazing.

Well this was much better than the last edition, the story picks up and gains meaning then links back into Luke's journey. Also there were a couple of really cool references to the larger star wars universe.

Finally feeling like this story arc is getting somewhere, and looking forward to what comes next.
