There’s a few gems this week, including Greg Rucka’s superb take on the Star Wars Universe – for me, outshining all of the other mediocre Star Wars offerings from Marvel, new Warren Ellis on Karnak – a rare creator who is always an instant buy for me, and the always reliable Astro City from Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson, but I’m most looking forward to checking out Hacktivist Vol. 2 #4 (Archaia) from Alyssa Milano, Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing, and Marcus To, which always seems to sit perfectly in the zeitgeist of world events.
