      NewsWeek magazine has an article on Carrie Fisher and Star Wars that is a must-read.


      When I was 19, I was cast as Princess Leia in Star Wars. The mistake was I signed away my likeness for free. In those days, there was no such thing as a “likeness,” which is a funny thing to say coming from the family that I came from. There was no merchandising tied to movies. No one could have known the extent of the franchise. Not that I don’t think I’m cute or anything, but when I looked in the mirror, I didn’t think I was signing away anything of value. Lately I feel like I’m Minnie Mouse—the identity of Princess Leia so eclipses any other identity that I’ve ever had.

      So, what COMICS did you buy this week?

      I love All Star Superman. The animated film cut out a bunch, so there is plenty to discover. The Bizarro/Zibarro segment went on a bit long for me,

      That assortment was a hard pill to swallow, even though I did get all the discs. I drew the line at the new "commander" ones though. Same price

      WM in Beaumont had one Springer. "Had." And "one." So he'd better live up to y'all's hype.

      They also had Legends/Legions/Whatever

      They could road-show it, but it sounds like they're going to skip SDCC for this and probably for Filoni as well - first time that'll happen in 6 years,
