Comic Book Reviews for January 14, 2015
With the Star Wars license going from Dark Horse back to Marvel, the House of Ideas has begun publishing Star Wars comics again. This week marks their big first issue, Star Wars #1 by Jason Aaron and John Cassaday. Produced by Marvel's top talent and rumored to sell a million copies, this is pretty much The Force Awakens for the comic world.
It's such a big release that we decided to try something new for the review here on IGN. There's the normal written review, but we also produced the first-ever video review for a comic book on IGN -- something normally reserved for video games and movies. Please check it out and let us know what you think in the comments, as it's something we'd like to do more of in the future.
’80s Miami Vice-inspired Indie Racing Game Revealed

Captain America 2 Writers on Adapting Civil War for the MCU
During the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour today, IGN joined a small group of journalists to chat with Captain America: The First Avenger/Captain America: The Winter Soldier screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely about returning to write the third film, Captain America: Civil War (and their TV series Agent Carter, but more on that later).
Naturally, with Marvel's formidable secrecy, there were few specifics they could give on the film, which -- like the comic book story it's based on -- will involve Captain America and Iron Man at odds with one another. However, they did touch on the Black Panther casting, the relationship between Tony Stark and Peggy Carter, balancing the Civil War comic storyline with the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the film's tone.

The Walking Dead Adds New Series Regular
The Walking Dead has added yet another series regular, as Ross Marquand is set to join the cast.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marquand (Down and Dangerous) will appear in AMC's hit zombie series sometime in the second half of Season 5, and will likely return for The Walking Dead's previously announced sixth season.
While AMC isn't ready to share details on Marquand's character, early speculation suggests that he may play Aaron, an Alexandria resident from The Walking Dead comic series. It's a safe bet as the series' creator, Robert Kirkman, said they'll be introducing a "very prominent gay character from the comic" in the second half of Season 5.
