I didn't know this was unknown. I used to be a huge fan of Star Wars Tales. Naturally, they cancelled it.

Quote of the day | Tom Brevoort: DC is ‘the Charlie Sheen of comics’

Dohohohoho, oh you flame-bating master-blaster you.

Read that earlier - the changes and story/character direction aren't stoking my interest at all. I understand why they're trying to do all this, but it's just not grabbing me, much as I like Grant and Perez' work.
