When it comes to making your own comic book<\/a>, you’ve got to stand on the shoulders of giants. We take advice from the big guys who made it before us, and apply it to our own creative efforts and production schedule.<\/p>\n

So when we heard about the Star Wars tweet chat hosted by @DarkHorseComics<\/a>, we marked it in our calendars.
