EDIT: You know, I've seen Hickman in person and talked to him a little and I still picture him looking nothing like he actually does, and I don't know why.

Crossed Badlands 10#

Crossed is such a guilty pleasure of mine. At least half of them are just absolutely loving terribly written, but even when it's dumb as hell I enjoy it and when it's good I really enjoy it.

I think the thing it really does that no other "zombie" media does is just completely avoid any hope of a positive outcome in any of the stories.

I binge-read almost all of it over the last week and I've got to agree. The cynical nihlism and the fact that no good character ever gets away without some absolutely major wounds and any character that is mostly good but more willing to be a bastard is usually the cause of those wounds really speaks to me on an adolescent level. The Badlands story about the hippie, the biker, and the pregnant mother was a highlight that really shouldn't have worked as well as it did. Unfortunately binge-reading the whole series made a lot of the formula plain as day, and Ennis' very ill-advised "origin story" wasn't awful but managed to make his prior "Fatal Englishmen" story worse by association. Still great guilty pleasure.

I assume that's another 3PO and not the one we're normally familiar with? The lighting/colouring there doesn't make it clear.

Yeah, those two are assassin/torture droids that Vader picked up with his new archaeologist ally.

I believe it's Triple-Zero, or something like that. Introduced in the previous issue, it's a semi-standard protocol droid, except its protocols lean more towards Order 66 than Hutt table etiquette. Apparently he finds it difficult to restrain the urge to kill every meatbag he comes across. Likewise, his little buddy BT there is an astro-murder droid.

It really seems like Gillen is building out an evil version of the good guys' party, doesn't it?


Triple-Zero is an Imperial-built protocol droid which has some glitchy programming and non-standard hardware like electrocution plates in its hands. BT-1 is an assassin droid built to look like an astromech and basically has War Machine's weapons loadout.

I miss Squeaky from the pre-reboot X-Wing novels. He was a free protocol droid. Not even a socket for a restraining bolt. And he was basically a surly bartender that then got shanghaied into being Wedge's quartermaster.
