Calvin and Hobbes on Hoth


I'm not sure what to expect from the upcoming Han Solo film.  The studio changed directors halfway through and as a result there have been some major changes, including at least one character being completely written out.  Still, the new director is Ron Howard, who is clearly very talented - plus there was similar behind the scenes turmoil with Rogue One, and I loved how that film turned out.  I have fingers crossed that they can pull this one off as well.

  1. For me, Rogue One managed to recapture the magic of the original Star Wars. I liked that one near Jedi character.

    It's been a long time, but I do remember enjoying Han Solo at Star's End. There was another novel that I enjoyed, too.

    I think the original Star Wars may have been the last movie that managed to make it into theaters without a whole lot of advance hoopla - unlike any movie today... ;)

  2. Maybe a team-up(?) of Thorax (9 Chickweed Lane, Pibgorn) and Herbie popnecker could be shown; I think they're similar.

  5. Love this cover! Maybe you could do a sequel with Calvin's would-be girlfriend in the same setting and call it..."Heck Hoth No Fury Like A Woman Scorned."

  6. I have a few ideas for future issues:

    The cast of Red vs. Blue appears in the universe of Team Fortress 2 in "Red vs. B.L.U."

    Rorschach and the Punisher join the Red Lantern Corps.

    Papyrus (from Undertale) winds up in Eternia, and everyone there mistakes him for Skeletor. Hilarity Ensues.

  7. Love these C&H covers :D Would love to see them team up with Franklin Richards and HERBIE (I think Chris Eliopoulos' Son of a Genius series was a fun book)
    Or maybe Stupendous Man in the Marvel Universe (Well, Chris Giarusso's Mini-Marvel Universe at least!)

  8. I have avoided the obvious Calvin/Franklin Richards & HERBIE pairing because frankly I always found the Eliopoulos feature to be kind of a rip off of Watterson's work.

  9. "Solo" has become the first Star Wars film to lose money. At least, that's what I've heard.
