Psylocke Psunday: Let the Munn Shine In

Before this here blog o' mine slippedy-slipped into real-life-overload low-content Star Wars/Today in Comics History day-and-night mode, I promised you more about The X-Tinction Agenda featuring Psylocke. And, um, sorry! I don't have it written yet. I kinda think you won't mind, though, because here's some pshotographs of our psurple psychic from the psages of Entertainment Weekly which I'm sure won't mind me reposting them seeing as they didn't extend my subscription the way they were supposed to and instead they just mailing me two copies of each issue. So take it away, Olivia Munn co-starring in X-Men: Apocalypse, coming to a theater near you on May 27, 2016!

365 Days of Star Wars Comics, Day 194: I've Got a Bad Feeling About This Week, Day 1: Let's All Go to the Movies

Hey, I'm hooked on a feeling!


No, no, wrong feeling...also, wrong space-fantasy franchise. Nope, I'm talkin' 'bout the reccuring in-joke of the Star Wars Universe — the line "I've got a bad feeling about this," spoken by everyone from Han Solo to…well, Han Solo's pals. It pops up in every single G-canon Star Wars movie, altho' I'm not certain if it's in The Star Wars Holiday Special or The Ewok Adventure. Because that would require me to watch those. And, just as the Star wars comic book adapt the swashbuckling lightsaber action and all-out blaster adventure, they too adapt that famous line into the comic book universe, right from the very beginning with the first Marvel adaptation.
