Well now. If you were wondering how closely the new movie Star Wars universe and the Marvel Comics Star Wars universe would work together, considering that both are now owned by Disney, the answer is "Yes." You may have noticed that C-3PO was sporting a new red arm in the Force Awakens trailers, and assumed that he'd lose a limb during the film. However, the origin of Threepio's new appendage will be told in STAR WARS SPECIAL: C-3PO #1, a one-shot out this December right around the movie's release. And it's by the team of writer James Robinson and Tony Harris, the Starman team reuniting for the first time in nearly 20 years.

Yes, that's right: Image. I know I usually do the DC Comics sales summaries here at The Beat, but while Heidi looks for someone to step in and handle the Indy comics chart I volunteered to do a column focusing on Image. With around seventy titles each month they're about as large (titles-wise) as Marvel or DC, so I figure they should have their own column, yes? Warning: The commentary may be even more mis-informed than usual...
The important thing to remember when looking at Image's sales numbers is that they're not really playing the same game as other comics companies. My understanding (and I'm sure you'll all correct me if I'm wrong in the comments below...) is that Image charges a flat fee for producing, listing and distributing comics, so that after that fee and the printing costs, whatever is left over goes directly to whoever supplied the comic. (This may be different for the official Image partners...)
