Star Wars is finally crossing over with the Marvel Universe, Todd McFarlane is revisiting his legendary Amazing Spider-Man #300 composition for Spawn 77, and new Prana data shows comic shop revenue climbing nearly 20%. Jace also digs into Warren Ellis returning to Image Comics and the unresolved accountability questions surrounding that decision, Rob Liefeld contradicting his earlier account of Cable's origin, Thundercracker joining Superion, the expansion of Ghost Machine's Unbelievables universe, Sabrina's midnight release, Mind MGMT, Lady Baltimore, D'orc and much more. Plus, Jace makes this week's What Hit predictions, checks last week's picks against the newest Prana bestseller data, counts down the Top 10, and highlights books readers may want to preorder before Final Order Cutoff on August 17.
