I'm far from a comic aficionado, but I'm less than thrilled about the character and story developments with the sum of the new Marvel stuff. (To be fair, I hadn't read much of anything prior, and was hoping for something substantial and carefully-thought-out, in light of the "canon/legends" announcement that framed it.) It all feels so unlikely and forced, with no real connecting tissue with the films they are supposedly bridging. I think I'll have to treat the new EU the way I did with the old one: major adult novels are head canon, and most of anything else isn't.

The brutal Boba Fett strikes me as very strange in light of rumors that Disney/LFL/whoever were contemplating how to make Fett work as a sympathetic protagonist of his own film. The story group screwed up with the Marvel comics contradicting Heir to the Jedi, in which Luke says he hadn't heard Ben's voice during the two years since the Death Star.

I'll come back for Shattered Empire, but will bow out otherwise. I just don't like them, y'know? Part of it is just because I'm not a big fan of the medium.

Someone posted a cap of a single page from the upcoming Shattered Empire (not a spoiler) in which Old Ben informs a child Luke that he was a friend of his father's, flatly contradicting the dinner scene in ANH where Luke exclaims, "He knew my father?!"
