A comiXologist Recommends (their favorite from 2015)

STAR WARS.  JUST STAR WARS.

My pick for ‘Best of 2015’ is Star Wars… All of it. I know, its the obvious choice, but as Bill Murray once famously sang, “Star Wars! Nothing but Star Wars! Gimme those Star Wars.. don’t let them end!” This year was full of it, and it was hard to ignore. There were Star Wars comics, video games, cartoons, action figures, books, trading cards, mugs, pugs, chewable vitamins…etc and it all culminated on 12/18 with the release  of the seventh installment of the movie franchise.

This year Marvel started releasing new series, and they have been fantastic. From Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Shattered Empire to Star Wars (2015-) and Kanan - The Last Padawan all of them have been a delight. They did a great job of bringing us back to a galaxy far far away. If the Extended Universe is more your speed, we released back issues dating back to the original series from 1977. We released Star Wars - The Thrawn Trilogy and Knights of the Old Republic to Star Wars: Tag & Bink Are Dead (2001). There is so much here, you could keep yourself busy until Rouge One comes out in 2016. Hopefully next year’s offerings will be just as entertaining. So until then…

May the force be with you.
