I should say that this is the middle grade illustrated Jedi Academy, not the prose series (by Kevin J. Anderson). Personally, I think the EU, the reboot, what's cannon isn't as important to me as great stories, and I think there's plenty of room for all kinds of versions in the Star Wars universe. I hope Kevin J. Anderson writes more, his Star Wars novels are among my favorites from the EU.

I loved reading Calvin and Hobbes when I was growing up - there's definitely some influence there, though it wasn't necessarily a conscious effect.

I'm pretty excited for the new movie, no matter what you think about the films later, seeing a new Star Wars film in the theater for the first time is always great. I am working on one more book in the Vader series right now, but no plans for anything Episode 7 yet...

So many, so I'll list the ones I've read recently and am looking forward to reading: Lydia Davis, whose short stories are perfect. Haruki Murakami is another I really enjoy. As for cartoonists, I really like Pascal Girard, whose new book 'Petty Theft' I just read. There's a ton of cartoonists - Chris Ware, Julie Doucet, Genevieve Castree, Dan Clowes. Eleanor Davis has a new book out this week, and I've loved her work for a long time.

Ants Marching. Wait, no, Satellite. Crash Into Me?
