The summer has wound done, but the Star Wars comics show no sign of abating. August? It reached a new level, with 10 titles out last month. This episode has lots of conversation and constructive criticism, along with news you can use, including details about Si Spurrier joining the writing team with Kieron Gillen for Doctor Aphra, as well as Jason Aaron's dissection of his long run on Marvel's fla...

With July done, it's time to revisit the month's bounty of Star Wars comics from Marvel and A Star Wars Comic. We suggest you get a milkshake to savor while you listen. (#MakeMineMilkshake) There's more detail about the Thrawn mini series announced at San Diego Comic-Con, which debuts in February in this episode. Finally, Jeff McGee and Matt Moore discuss the upcoming change in writers on Marvel's...

Gather up your java, tea and more and pull those Star Wars comics out of the bags as we dive into June's issues from Marvel. Co-hosts Matt Moore and Jeff McGee have found much to discuss in regard to the conclusion of The Screaming Citadel, the ongoing adventures of Poe Dameron as well as the latest installment of A Star Wars Comics. There's also news about Star Wars Adventures at San Diego Comic-...

Sit down, pour a cup of joe and relax. Be at one with the Force as we discuss all the comics from May -- and we mean all of them. Apologies for the length of this show -- it's more than two-and-a-half hours -- but there was a great deal to discuss about the events of (The) Screaming Citadel crossover that's gone through three of its five chapters in its namesake one-shot, Star Wars No. 31 and issu...

April proved a pivotal month for Star Wars comics. From the first issue of Marvel's Rogue One adaptation, which provided some context and details not seen in the film, to the conclusion of story arcs in Star Wars 30 and Star Wars: Doctor Aphra 6, along with the passing of a beloved member of the Resistance's Black Squadron in Star Wars: Poe Dameron 13, there was plenty of pathos and high adventure...

March came in like a lion but didn't end like a lamb, at least not in the pages of Marvel's Star Wars comics, that's for certain. Join us we take a deep dive into the latest issues of Star Wars: Darth Maul #2, Star Wars: Poe Dameron #12 and Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #5. We're also looking ahead to Star Wars Celebration in Orlando, too, with details about the Coffee With Kenobi Podcast meet-up, panel...

February was a light month for StarWars yet remained a critical moment for the entire line, with stories in Star Wars: Poe Dameron 11, Star Wars: Doctor Aphra 4 and Star Wars #29 holding true to ongoing storylines that keep pace with expanding the Saga's character development and exploration of events before the events of the prequel trilogies and the original trilogies, along with ahead of events...

We're two years in and then some in this grand experiment of Marvel's Star Wars comics. We have to admit, it's been a heck of a run. In this episode, we're talking the releases from January and the first week of February. We interview with comic creators Alex Ray and Jim Mello. The artist and writer from Florida created A Star Wars Comic, a monthly fan-made comic that takes readers -- in just six...

For our last episode of 2016 -- and the first of 2017 -- we dive deep into the four Marvel Star Wars comics that made December so stirring. They featured tales of adventure, intrigue, daring and, yes, heroism in all its forms, subtle and small. We start off with Star Wars: Poe Dameron #9, and are immediately drawn into the role that C-3PO plays. Is he, in fact, a super stealthy agent of espionage?...

Oh my. So much Star Wars comics from November in this episode. So much we even had to include an issue from December, too, to be sure we got them all. How many? Six. Just like the original trilogy plus the prequel trilogy. But it's worth every audio minute and every single panel on every single page to hear Jeff McGee and Matt Moore get a bit emotional over the conclusion of the deftly written Sta...

It's finally here. It took three recording sessions, six World Series games (Spoilers: CUBS WIN!), two trans-Atlantic crossings, one move and MULTIPLE cups of coffee, but episode 24 is ready for your listening pleasure. We've got a special guest, too, a certain Coffee With Kenobi co-founder by the name of Dan Zehr who joins us to discuss the riveting concluding issue of Darth Vader #25, along with...

After a technical snafu delayed Jeff McGee and Matt Moore, the daring duo have roared back into the Dragon Run to give it another go and what a go it was, what with the latest issues of Star Wars, Star Wars: Poe Dameron and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Besides comics, we break down the latest news out of the just-concluded New York Comic Con. There's also some detail about December's first two is...

Despite technology's best effort to thwart them, Jeff McGee and Matt Moore are back for another issue, diving deep into Marvel's Star Wars comics from September, including Star Wars #22, The Force Awakens #3, Han Solo #3, Poe Dameron #5 and Darth Vader #24. There's some fuzzy sound during the episode -- The First Order tried to jam our broadcast, no doubt -- but it's worth getting through it, give...

Find out our thoughts and weigh in with your own as we make the comics equivalent of the Kessel Run through Star Wars #21, Poe Dameron #4, Han Solo #2, The Force Awakens #2 and Darth Vader #23. That's not all, either. We're bringing you up to speed on the latest Marvel Star Wars comics news, too, including what's going on with a third monthly series, what was announced at Star Wars Celebration Eur...

We're really flying Solo this episode. Seriously. No lie. Why? Because the first issue of Star Wars: Han Solo came out and we read it. Know what else we read? Everything. If it was a Marvel Star Wars comic and it came out in June, Matt Moore and Jeff McGee read it. It's true. All of it. Know what else is true? Jeff and our special guest, Tom Akel, head of content at LINE Corp., apparently went to...

We're flying solo for this month's issue. Wait. No, we're not! While Jeff McGee and Matt Moore had expected to have the first issue of Han Solo to discuss, its release was pushed back to later this month. Not to worry, there's plenty to discuss in regard to events in Star Wars #19, Darth Vader #20 and the fifth -- and final -- issue of Obi-wan and Anakin #5 to keep us occupied and in a debating mo...

We're back for this month's issue and what a collection of Star Wars comics that Matt Moore and Jeff McGee have to fuss about and discuss! And phone books. Lots of phone books. (OK, not so much the phone books.) But before we do that, our heartfelt thanks to all who cast their votes for us in the literature category in the first Star Wars Podcast Awards. Though we didn't win, your listening to our...

More than four months after it was supposed to be released, the Star Wars Special: C-3PO one-shot by James Robinson and Tony Harris was finally released on April 13 and Jeff McGee and Matt Moore simply couldn't -- and wouldn't -- wait another two weeks to talk about it. Who could, really? Our verdict? It was worth the wait. Why? Listen to our first -- and not likely last -- one-shot special episod...

Co-hosts Matt Moore and Jeff McGee swing through four issues in this month's outing, including the penultimate issue of our favorite Kanan, as well as back-to-back issues of Darth Vader and, lastly, but not least, the new story arc "Rebel Jail" that begins in the pages of Star Wars 16. We also discuss the big plans Marvel has for the upcoming Star Wars: Poe Dameron monthly that debuts on April 6 i...

It's been awhile, but not as long as the wait for Episode VIII is going to be. Still, it was worth it, given co-hosts Matt Moore and Jeff McGee dive into the comics released since our last issue back in January. (Has it really been almost a month?) and also examine the final sales estimates for comics in 2015, as compiled by John Jackson Miller at his Comichron website. Kanan, issue #10 (just two...

After a holiday break -- and a momentous distraction at the cinema -- the Star Wars stories in Marvel's comics are calling to us again and are they ever loud! (Have you felt it?) From the conclusion to the best-selling Vader Down crossover to further exploration of a young Caleb Dume's performance as a padawan in the Clone Wars to finding out what, exactly, happened to that medal Chewbacca got for...

While we may be light on issues -- it's just Star Wars Annual #1 and Star Wars #13 -- this 12th issue of Comics With Kenobi is laden with detail and discussion from hosts Matt Moore and Jeff McGee about the ongoing Vader Down Crossover and the pulling back of the curtain on Coruscant, too. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Vader is down, but actually Darth Vader is really up. So far up that all the hype surrounding the six-issue crossover IS worth it! He's also amazingly lethal and so precise that it's scary. Sidious plus Dooku plus Darth Maul plus Kylo Ren scary. But that's just one part of this issue of Comics With Kenobi as hosts Jeff McGee and Matt Moore examine how Caleb Dume reacts to becoming a padawan in the...

This time it's really issue 10 and we're three-fifths of the way through Chewbacca and seeing some solid character development for our favorite walking carpet and learning even more about some of our favorite characters and how they deal with adversity. Meanwhile, in the pages of Darth Vader #12, friendships are forged -- as much as anyone can call a Dark Lord of the Sith "friend" -- and hosts Mat...

For Issue nine -- not 10, we swear it -- things get deep as we discuss the conclusion of Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens -- Shattered Empire, noting not just its role in leading up toThe Force Awakens, but how it exemplifies a shift in attitude toward major female characters not named Princess Leia or Mon Mothma, that being that they not just survive, but appear to thrive. We also discuss...
