Hello there!

Happy Monday, my friends. Let's dive headfirst into my news as if falling into a giant bucket of pure joy...

MY WEEK 

I'm a firm believer in being as honest as possible when it comes to work. Sometimes words come easy. Sometimes words come hard. Last week definitely fell into the first camp. It's not that I didn't get things done. I managed to write, edit and submit an 8,000 word story and script the first draft of Shadow Service #13, but every single word felt like pulling teeth...

Pulling teeth from concrete...

Using eyebrow tweezers...

While wearing oven gloves...

Underwater.
 

But that's sometimes how it goes and it's never a bad thing to admit it. And yes, I know I promised you joy. Well, Shadow Service issue 13 is now ready to submit and the work Corin is doing on issue 11 is a-maze-ing! I love this book with all my horror-loving heart! Here's hoping that the words will come easier this week as well.

There is a slight, teensy-weensy wrinkle with the fact that half my family has gone down with Covid. I've escaped it so far and we've split the house into covid and non-covid zones. It's early days but we'll get there, and its also a good reminder that the pandemic is far from over, so keep wearing those masks, make sure your vaccinated and stay safe!

Thus endeth the public health announcement...

On with the JOY!

OUT THIS WEEK

STAR WARS ADVENTURES ANNUAL 2021

Just need to give this some context. I have been trying to sneak Hoojibs into Star Wars Adventures for YEARS and every time I tried, Matt Martin of Story Group would say: 'no Cav, not yet'. Then last year, when I tried AGAIN, he said: 'Look, if we're going to do it, then we have to do it big!'

And here, gentle readers, is the result!

The Hoojib Menace
by Cavan Scott | Pencils and inks: Arianna Florean | Colours: Ronda Pattison | Letters: Joanna Nattalie | Editors: Riley Farmer and Heather Antos.

The Coin by Chip Zdarkey and Jason Loo | Pencils and inks: Jason Loo | Colours: Megan Huang | Letters: Joanna Nattalie | Editors: Riley Farmer and Heather Antos.

Desperate to get into Jabba the Hutt's good books, Han Solo and Chewbacca take the galactic gangster a very special present. Han thinks the adorable Hoojib will make a perfect addition to Jabba's menagerie, but the cute critter hides a terrible secret. Cavan Scott (Star Wars: The High Republic) and Arianna Florean (Marvel Action) reintroduce a legendary alien species to Star Wars canon, 40 years after their first appearance!

THEN, follow a group of troublesome kids on Cloud City when they come across a rare coin worth a pretty credit. But when the coin turns out to belong to the one and only Lando Calrissian, the kids quickly find out they are in over their head. Chip Zdarsky (Daredevil) and Jason Loo (The Pitiful Human-Lizard) join forces to tell this Bespin-based story.

THE GALAXY'S FAVORITE HOLIDAY!
Happy LIFE DAY! Celebrate the galaxy's favorite holiday with a collection of festive tales from all across the STAR WARS SAGA! Life Day is the last thing on HAN SOLO'S mind when he and CHEWBACCA find themselves outgunned and under fire. But Chewie won't give up hope, remembering the lessons of Life Days past and present. As for Life Days yet to come... well, they'll have to survive the night first!

STAR WARS ADVENTURES #12

Writers: Cavan Scott, Andrew Lee Griffith | Artists: Manuel Bracchi, Andrew Lee Griffith | Artists: Bracardi Curry | Colours: Johanna Nattalie | Editors: Riley Farmer and Heather Antos

First, it’s a trap! Luke Skywalker and Rogue Squadron has been snared by the Empire. But who is the traitor and why is new recruit Ibti Myrak fighting with Admiral Ackbar on the deck of Home One? X-Wings and TIE fighters clash in “Squad Goals,” part two by Cavan Scott and Manuel Bracchi.

Then, from author and artist Andrew Griffith comes a new “Tales of Villainy.” Asajj Ventress must face off with Aayla Secura, who is dangerously close to uncovering the early stages of the Death Star Project.
