Dawn of the Jedi was cool, but I would have liked more story, the "handbook to the marvel u" stuff was cool though.

How long will Lucas let this stick as an origin though?

Alison Bechdel's Fun Home was a pop culture and literary phenomenon. Now, a second thrilling tale of filial sleuthery, this time about her mother: voracious reader, music lover, passionate amateur actor. Also a woman, unhappily married to a closeted gay man, whose artistic aspirations simmered under the surface of Bechdel's childhood - and who stopped touching or kissing her daughter goodnight, forever, when she was seven. Poignantly, hilariously, Bechdel embarks on a quest for answers concerning the mother-daughter gulf.

Fatale's a slow burn. It's not blowing me away like the last Criminal did yet, but I'm intrigued.

Any idea why Bru shifted to Image this time?

Nah, that's behind-the-scenes stuff. No way of knowing.

Oh it was. We met for coffee then he said 'wanna go hang out at the office' and I overstayed my welcome for about six hours

Sweet. If I had to pick my comics related highlight, it'd be me and Jason chatting with Paul Hornschemeirer at Quimbys with Jeff Brown and Josh Cotter standing not 6 feet away from us.

The story is in 2 weeks. All of this stuff needs to get approved by Lucas. It took nearly two months of back and forth to get a character name approved (and ultimately ) rejected when I did stuff for them. He has as much say in the EU stuff as any of the movies, particularly when it could affect continuity

I'd want drinks with Gary Groth and Dave Sim

Tombstone is a city as bleak as its name suggests and for most, life depends on the gun kept in their waistband. When Doc Holliday, a gambler with twisted morals and a deadly reputation, arrives, his presence upsets a fragile balance in the fractured urban center. The gunman and his allies are a threat to the ruling powers and eventually the long simmering tension boils over. Deception surrounding Holliday and a gruesome double homicide serves as the catalyst for war.

Well yeah, I know Lucas is very hands-on. I'm just curious as to why he chose to give the Jedi a definitive origin and all. I have nothing against it, I liked what I read, but I'm just wondering what was the spark.
