An example of the tonal difference between gritty comics and melodramatic ones. Both of them are effective in their own contexts.
I do have a theory that Star Wars has gotten weepier since Disney took it over, but perhaps that’s too big a claim to substantiate. Personally, I find myself drawn to the dark humor you find more often in older stories.

A rare moment of respect from Darth Vader toward a very cool one-off character, the young ensign Nanda. Anakin dislikes most people he meets, so it’s always a big deal to get a compliment from him. (But at what cost?!)

Moon Knight #12. Out this Wednesday, February 18th.
This is my very last issue of Moon Knight! I’ve had such a great time working with Brian and Greg and also Warren and Declan. This is a really wonderful arc and I’ll miss Moon Knight.
I look forward to reading the next arc written by Cullen Bunn, drawn by Ron Ackins, colored by someone great!
