dreamwarsWelcome to this week’s chat corner!
Optional prompt
This week, the topic is “Before the Awakening”, an anthology of three stories that show what Finn, Rey, and Poe were doing before the movie.
It’s a junior readers’ book, but it’s also written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Phil Noto, which are some very interesting names to see together!
Has anybody read this? What did you think?
Aside from that, this week it’s a year since Dreamwars started :) This is honestly so cool - and it’s all your work, folks, there would be no comm without the people who come and talk. So I want to say, you’re all awesome, whether you’re here every week or you commented exactly once.
And since I’m reminiscing, what has your “year in Star Wars” been like? Anything interesting that’s happened to you? New story you’ve found (be it canon, Legends, or fic), an event, a fandom interaction? Have you created something you’re proud of? I’m honestly curious!

Date: 2022-04-25 04:37 pm (UTC)I'm very intrigued by this book! Rucka is my favorite comics writer, and Noto is my favorite comics artist, so I'm just like "yes? For me???" Although I wonder how Rucka manages to write a young reader novel, I'd never think he'd be the type.
Slightly off-topic, but if you like reading about badass female fighters, I can't recommend Rucka enough. He does have a type, but he writes that type masterfully and it's so satisfying to read. He's the writer behind The Old Guard, to give you an example.
