This dude is the writer of the crimson empire
Set in the New Republic era immediately following the end of Star Wars: Empire's End, the finale of the Dark Empire comic series trilogy, Crimson Empire follows the life of Kir Kanos, a former Imperial royal guard whose duty in life was to protect Emperor Palpatine. Following the final death of Palpatine during the Battle of Onderon and the slaughter of the rest of his kin on Yinchorr, Kir Kanos is left with a blood oath against the enemies of the Empire, swearing death to all involved in the death of his former master.
Disneys did a good deed killing off most of the pro-empire stories
I legitimately cannot imagine watching the original Star Wars film and seeing The Empire destroy Alderaan, a peaceful planet purely out of spite, and choosing to understand their perspective.
There’s a reason why A New Hope ends celebrating with The Rebellion instead of mourning “all of the good people with families stationed on the Death Star” after Luke Skywalker destroyed it. There were never any!
Such a fundamental, gross misunderstanding of the core themes of the franchise IMO.
It's like comic books
There is so much more slop than there is actually quality stuff
But you learn to appreciate the slop, because the good stuff wouldn't exist without it
Like how I love The Punisher, but remember that he's been a mob boss, disguised himself as a black guy, been an angel and a Frankenstein just as much as he's been a stone-cold bastard who kills slavers and cops
The slop often adds texture for the good stuff, too.
That, and there's usually slop that's fun to rotate around in your head (despite being a mess when reading/watching it)!
I'd say now is as good a time as any to have Frank Castle go sicko on ICE. Fuck what the chuds think.
I think he's being mind-controlled by The Kingpin at current
Not sure how long that's going on for, but at least he's not just trapped in Weirdworld after his wife got brought back to life and divorced him
