Time to add "Star Wars Manga" to the list of things I never thought I'd consider buying.

E: drat but Clarissian looks like a black version of that balding white guy from Akira. Maybe it's the massive forehead.

No his secondary mutation will be growing noses everywhere, but they have no enhanced smelling capabilities, he just has to smell a combination of his underwear and BO 24/7.

Nope, that's too happy for the marvel universe. His secondary mutation is probably gonna be tastebuds in his rear end in a top hat.

I remember seeing some panels from the ANH manga a few years ago, don't remember Chewie being drawn like that. From what I saw the ANH manga follows the movie pretty well, and Vader looks badass no matter the medium.

The "translation" that Dark Horse used was literally the movie script. It gives the book a feeling of being pointless; the same story told in a worse format. I only have the thing because it won an Eisner and I think it was one of the least deserving winners ever.

Disgusted by the repeated harvesting and burning of a defenseless plant, Swamp Thing makes all the buds bloom instantly into thick, strong leaves and stems, thereby becoming completely unsmokable. A good comic.

In all fairness, Tippy Toe's plan also relies on The Power Cosmic being like an acorn.
