The Death Star is destroyed. Darth Vader is dead. The Empire is desolate. But on the forest moon of Endor, among the chaos of a changing galaxy, time stands still for a princess and her scoundrel.

After being frozen in carbonite, then risking everything for the Rebellion, Han is eager to stop living his life for other people. He and Leia have earned their future together, a thousand times over. And when he proposes to Leia, it’s the first time in a long time he’s had a good feeling about this. For Leia, a lifetime of fighting doesn’t seem truly over. There is work still to do, penance to pay for the dark secret that she now knows runs through her veins. Her brother, Luke, is offering her that chance—one that comes with family and the promise of the Force. But when Han asks her to marry him, Leia finds her answer immediately on her lips . . . Yes.

Yet happily ever after doesn’t come easily. As soon as Han and Leia depart their idyllic ceremony for their honeymoon, they find themselves on the grandest and most glamorous stage of all: the Halcyon, a luxury vessel on a very public journey to the most wondrous worlds in the galaxy. Their marriage, and the peace and prosperity it represents, are a lightning rod for all—including Imperial remnants still clinging to power.

Facing their most desperate hour, the soldiers of the Empire have dispersed across the galaxy, retrenching on isolated planets vulnerable to their influence. As the Halcyon travels from world to world, one thing becomes abundantly clear: The war is not over. But as danger draws closer, Han and Leia find that they fight their best battles not alone, but as husband and wife.

Marvel’s Wonder Man with Filmmaker Brandon Wilson

Posted on by

Marvel Disney’s recent TV series is about a struggling actor and I have the perfect guest to discuss it with me: filmmaker, life-long Los Angelino, and Marvel comics fan Brandon Wilson. Wonder Man is delightful and we’ve got a lot say about the show’s portrayals of LA, Simon Williams’s existence as a Black Haitian-American actor, the prison industrial complex, queer readings and more. You don’t need to know about Wonder Man to enjoy the show but Brandon gives us the download on Simon William’s comics history. 

Plus: the parallels with Midnight Cowboy run deeper than you think!

Spoilers marked at 20 min in.

Comic Shoot Episode 2: Paramount and the Bizarro World of its Warner Bros. Takeover

Posted on by

What does a war in Iran, the Saudi Government, Ari Emanuel, Jared Kushner, AI data centers, UFC and WWE, all have to do with the takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance? Find out in this new episode of Comic Shoot as well as its possble impact on DC Comics, Milestone Media, Wonder Comics, DC Entertainment, and DC Studio!

Joining us is Nate Wilcox who founded the legendary MMA web site Bloody Elbow in 2007 and sold it in 2024. He was the first UFC reporter to focus on Ari Emanuel and the ownership team rather than Dana White and the public facade. He blogs as Nat Wilson Turner for Nakedcapitalism.com and IanWelsh.net on politics, propaganda, and media and tech business news. You can also find his current coverage of the MMA space at The MMA Draw.

Nate has been regularly following the money and its connection to politics that will determine our future!

Notes/Corrections: Around the 40 minute mark Nate states Ari Emanuel gave MBS $400 BILLION back but it should be MILLION.
Around the 50 minute mark, “the law of Iran and Israel” is “the law of Iran and the US.”
