A YOUNG OBI-WAN MUST FEND FOR HIMSELF ON A STRANGE NEW WORLD! This week Mike embarks on a book review for Padawan by Kiersten White; a novel centred around a young Obi-Wan Kenobi shortly after being taken on as a padawan by Qui-Gon Jinn. Obi-Wan travels to a new world, after being guided by a Jedi from the High Republic, he meets a group of children who seem to have strange force abilities, but there is more than meets the eye, as this mystery unravels around Obi-Wan all while he questions where his place is in the galaxy.

As per all of Mike’s book reviews, it starts with his spoiler-free thoughts, then he gives plenty of warning before delving into his spoiler-filled thoughts, giving an overview of the book’s plot, some connections to other content and more! Make sure you go back and listen to episode 28 of SWCIC (from October 2020) to hear Mike’s review of Claudia Gray’s Master & Apprentice and Mike’s review of Mike Chen’s Brotherhood in June 2021.

Gaming Corner: The Last of Us Part 1 Roundtable Dec 16, 2022

Show notes

Two seasoned players, two new players and one invested observer gather round a battered, blood stained table to discuss one of the greatest video games ever made, The Last of Us. In this epic discussion they talk about the impact of the game on them as players, representations of violence and why Joel and Ellie make such interesting protagonists.

The Last of Us was developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony in 2013. It was written by Neil Druckmann and directed by Bruce Stanley and Neil Druckmann. The soundtrack is mind blowing, the original score was composed and performed by Gustavo Santaolalla.

If you want to hear more from the members of the roundtable make sure you follow Comics in Motion as that's where you'll hear them all! But you'll also find Ria on Twitter and Instagram @riacarrogan, Dan on Twitter @Dark_Ronin84 and on @PopGuerrillas (alongside Ria), Blake on Twitter @BlakeByles and Maff at @MaffUK78.

Make sure you join us in January for the TV show airing on HBO Max, Sky Atlantic and Now TV. Comics in Motion will be covering all nine episodes and you'll hopefully hear from everyone in the roundtable as well as some fresh voices.

These Vicious Masks

Tarun Shanker

Kelly Zekas

England, 1882. Evelyn is bored with society and its expectations. So when her beloved sister, Rose, mysteriously vanishes, she ignores her parents and travels to London to find her, accompanied by the dashing Mr. Kent. But they’re not the only ones looking for Rose. The reclusive, young gentleman Sebastian Braddock is also searching for her, claiming that both sisters have special healing powers. Evelyn is convinced that Sebastian must be mad, until she discovers that his strange tales of extraordinary people are true—and that her sister is in graver danger than she feared.

A Dummies Guide to Geekdom: Moon Knight For Dummies Dec 07, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, we're joined by Scott Weatherly to answer 'who is Moon Knight'.
First appearing in Marvel's 'Werewolf by Night' in 1975, Moon Knight was initially created as an antagonist for the title's hero.
The image of the character stuck in people's minds and over the years, he became a much deeper and more complicated character.
Scott gives us an idea of this character's journey and just how complex he has become. Scott also shares with us his history with the character, and why he thinks they're so underrated.
