Star Wars: Comics In Canon - Ep 52: Kylo Ren Goes To Dagobah, Fights A Zillo Beast & Gets Marooned With Hux (Age Of Resistance Villains)

This week, Mike tackles the four one-shot Age Of Resistance Villain comics, all set before The Force Awakens, 3 of which feature Kylo Ren! Phasma leads an army in “Fallen Guns”, General Hux & Kylo Ren are stranded together in “Marooned”, Snoke takes Ren to the Dagobah cave in “Fail. Or Kill It” and in “Out Of The Shadow” Kylo Ren faces against a Zillo beast which Vader couldn’t defeat. Plus Mike gives additional information about each of the four villains!

These stories are all set between 28-34 ABY (before the sequel trilogy).

All issues were written by Tom Taylor, with Leonard Kirk as penciller, Cory Hamscher as inker and Guru eFX as colour artist.

Phasma was the first villains comic released, in July 2019, with Kylo Ren’s being released September 2019, the trade paperback was released December 2019 and the hardcover featuring both heroes & villains was released September 2020.

Check out episode 1 of SWCIC for the Rise Of Kylo Ren mini-series and episode 5 for the Captain Phasma mini-series, plus if you want more detailed backstories on Hux & Phasma, check out the book Phasma, or for Hux & his dad Brendol, check the Aftermath Trilogy!

The last week on SWCIC, episode 51, Mike tackled the next volume of Doctor Aphra comics; The Catastrophe Con! This volume of space-craziness includes force-sensitive fungus, creatures who can read & erase minds, shapeshifters, a jail held together by ropes & an internal tractor beam, lovers lost, revenge, betrayal & more of what you’d expect from an Aphra comic! Mike also briefly talks about the “cantina band” Figrin D’an & The Modal Nodes!
