I’ve got a subscription to Marvel online comics. Still haven’t read the Star Wars comics yet, but plan to at some point. I’ve read that the “Star Wars” line isn’t necessarily that good, but seems that people liked the mini-series Vader Down comics.

Vader Down isn’t really it’s own discreet thing; it’s a crossover arc spread between Star Wars and Darth Vader. Star Wars has some good arcs and some bad ones, it’s pretty up and down. My favorite canon SW series are Dr. Aphra (which you probably ought to read Darth Vader before getting into), Lando, and Poe Dameron.

Yeah, I’ve actually got the whole Vader Down crossover thing saved via subscription. On the website, I opened the comic up to full screen mode in landscape view and did the copy/paste and saved a screenshot bmp pic, and then did that for each page of each comic in that series. And so I’ve got a lot of those digital comics saved as full screen bmp pics for each page.

I’m glad the designs in the newer Star Wars comics look fairly decent. A lot of newer comics do an anime or whatever look to their characters, and I just can’t read those. I also really like the style of the newer Silver Surfer comics. As it pretty much looks similar in design to the old stuff.

At some point, I plan on going through all the original The Amazing Spider-Man comics of the 70’s on. I really liked that series. I think that continuity is still running today. I don’t believe they did a reboot of it from what I can tell. But I don’t know if the newer ones of that line is any good.
