Marvel has introduced a lot of new cover artists to Star Wars, but one of the artists that has truly stood out to my eye is Mark Brooks. From the rich colors and bold lines to the dynamic compositions and intriguing arrangements, his cover art ranges from good to simply amazing. He’s done covers for many of the Marvel Star Wars series including Princess Leia, Vader Down, Star Wars, Darth Vader and the entire run of the Kanan series (minus issue #6). Below you’ll find a near complete compilation of all of his Star Wars cover art to date. Enjoy!

Princess Leia #1 (Variant Cover)

Here is this week’s Podcasts in Review.

501stCast: Episode 93 covers the Star Wars Podcasting Awards, fan films, troop reports, trooping with Weird Al, and The Force Awakens Blu-ray releases.

Aggressive Negotiations: Issue 007 covers their favorite Jedi with an excellent character analysis on Jedi like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Aayla Secura, Kanan, Luke and some great observations. If you’re looking for a discussion driven Star Wars show with great sound quality and good hosts, give this one a try.

Beyond the Vote: Episode 001 is hosted by Riley Blanton (Star Wars Report) and Scott Ryfun (My Star Wars Story). It’s an interesting podcast as Riley and Scott talk politics, politicians and voters as they cover the US presidential race. They’re both conservative and provide some great commentary not just on politics, but some of the factors around the politics. In this episode they start with how they came to their own political beliefs, they talk about Hilary, Bernie and Trump. They tackle the idea of voting for a personality rather than an ideology. They also talk a little about immigration. It’s interesting episode, and if you’re into politics, I recommend giving this one a listen. I really enjoyed it. Continue Reading Podcasts in Review…
