While angry, Mike learned to control and harness his anger and stay on the Light side yet still jealous of Skywalker. Surviving Order 66, he went searching for Anakin’s childhood friend, Kitster, in hopes that Anakin’s empty promises to help him and the slaves would be enough for Kitster to team up with Mike and pursue Vader. Yet anther Skywalker, Luke, comes into Mike’s life and steps in and brings down Vader.

With this finding he stole a cube of geekergon and traveled to Earth to to live the rest of his life among humans.

I used to only read trades until Geoff Johns and then I truly started reading comics weekly. Now I have a book shelves filled with boxes of comics. My wall shelves are full of Star Wars and DC busts and Funko bobble heads. My room doesn’t look like Howard’s from Big Bang yet, but it is getting there especially with my battle ready light saber hanging over my bed. My geek qualifications don’t stop there though. From my sonic screw driver on my key chain to Sith armor (from Megacon) still hanging in my closet next to my box of Naruto and Full Metal Alchemist manga, I am definitely part of this nation.
