Breaking back into the top three of the Galactic Villain Leaderboard, Lord Hater (Keith Ferguson) is in high spirits. The same can’t be said for his dungeon filled with deposed rulers who face torture in the morning. The sudden arrival of Wander (Jack McBrayer) and Sylvia (April Winchell) to offer the group the chance to party as if it is their last night (which it very well may be) creates a rager in the hull of the ship that even Hater can’t ignore.

With the Rebels on the run and in need of new allies Ahsoka (Ashley Eckstein) sends the crew of the Ghost to look for an old ally of hers who she refers to as a great military mind with firsthand knowledge of the Outer Rim. Kanan (Freddie Prinze Jr.) is skeptical of their mission, especially when it turns out Ahsoka’s friend, and his associates, are all clones. With the introduction of Rex (Dee Bradley Baker) Star Wars Rebels continues to build on the history of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and deal with the fallout of Star Wars: Episode III – The Revenge of the Sith and the fall of the Jedi.

One of only two feature releases for the short-lived Fox Animation Studios, 1997’s Anastasia has the feel of a Disney princess movie while mixing the look and design of a Don Bluth film. Beginning with the fall of the Russian Czar by the evil Rasputin (Christopher Lloyd) and the disappearance of the family’s young daughter (voiced as a child by Kirsten Dunst), the story picks up a decade later with an older Anya (Meg Ryan) leaving the orphanage where she was raised to journey into the wilder world searching for a family she scarcely remembers.
Along the way our heroine will encounter a pair of con men (John Cusack, Kelsey Grammer) who attempt to take advantage of Anya’s resemblance to the missing princess by training her to be Anastasia (not realizing she is indeed the genuine article). On the way to Paris to present Anya to the Dowager Empress in exile (Angela Lansbury) the group will also have to deal with the undead Rasputin out for vengeance and his cute sidekick Batrok (Hank Azaria).

Marvel Comics relaunches Guardians of the Galaxy (again). As with each of the preivous incarnations, the first issue shakes up the team a bit with Peter Quill living life away from his pals as the new King of Spartax. With Gamora also missing (and only showing up at the end to bring bad news for the group) the Guardians pick up a couple of new members in The Thing and Kitty Pryde (wearing Star-Lord’s costume).
As first issues go Guardians of the Galaxy #1 is entertaining. The choice to put Ben Grimm on the team is a nice touch, although I’d be happier if Venom wasn’t still part of the group. The loss of both Gamora and Quill (not to mention Cosmo and others) leaves a rather large hole in the group dynamic to be filled. Kitty Pryde in space is fun, but I don’t doubt that Star-Lord will take up his old mantle before long.
