The Monitor Heads to a Galaxy Far, Far Away

It’s Star Wars Week at Wired. So naturally, it’s Star Wars Week on The Monitor. We’ve got the comics, miniatures-based games, and pinball videogames you’re looking for.

Tasting notes for this week’s show:

  • Brian Wood, the writer of Dark Horse’s new Star Wars ongoing comic, is also the man behind The Massive — the trade paperback of which is coming out next month. Highly recommended.

  • Game publisher Fantasy Flight, maker of X-Wing Miniatures, also has a card game that’s pretty great. It’s a “living” card game rather than a conventional collectible game, meaning that you don’t have to pay through the nose chasing the best cards (though expansion packs are released periodically).

  • A minute isn’t really enough to get across a full description of all the tables in Zen Studios’ new Star Wars Pinball, so here’s a deeper rundown.
