Lest I forget… We only have one release this week: The fourth Dark Times trade, Blue Harvest, in comic shops today.
Fear not, book fans: In two weeks we get new Fate of the Jedi!
Out this week: Comics! Actual comics!
Boy, was I shocked when I looked at the shipping list: Three comics and a trade! It’s like Christmas! Assuming you read the comics, anyway. Headlining on Wednesday will be Legacy #49, the penultimate issue. Bringing up the rear are Invasion: Rescues #2 and Dark Times #17 and the ninth Legacy collection, ‘Monster’.
Out this week: Dark Times
It’s a lonely week, with just one Star Wars comic coming to stores on Wednesday: Dark Times #16.
Out right now: Dark Times, KOTOR and Insider
A bit late, but no worse for wear, here’s what came out in comic shops today: Dark Times #15 and the penultimate issue #49 of Knights of the Old Republic. And the always totally uncontroversial issue of Mandalorians in The Clone Wars is back in Star Wars Insider #115.
EUbits: February comics, Backlash datage, Karpyshyn, Bohnhoff, and Schreiber
Comics of an upcoming nature. StarWars.com has Dark Horse’s February 2010 solicitations, including the final issue of Knights of the Old Republic. People also seen to be awfully excited about seeing The Old Republic webcomic in print, but let’s not forget Legacy #45, the Dark Times: Blue Harvest TPB, and a Boba Fett omnibus. Okay, feel free to forget that last one. (I kid. Maybe.) Want a taste of something coming out a little sooner? Darkhorse.com has previews for Knights of the Old Republic #47 and Legacy #42.
Street date shuffle. SWBooks.co.uk spotted that April 13, 2010 is the new date for Fate of the Jedi: Backlash. That’s just a little under a month from the last date of March 9th.
The blogside. Drew Karpyshyn blogs to remind us that Dynasty of Evil is out next month… And tease The Old Republic. Meanwhile, Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff has what goes on in a writer’s head, the casting call, and when characters fall in love.
Interviews. NJOE went round robin with Death Troopers author Joe Schreiber.
Out this week: Insider (plus December comic solicitations)
No books, no comics, just the Obi-centric Star Wars Insider #112. In more forward-looking news (or at least stuff you didn’t read last month,) the official site has December 2009 comic solicitations.
Out this week: Dark Times, Legacy, TFU
Comic fans are getting two titles this Wednesday: Legacy #39 and Dark Times #14. As for book fans, you can pick up the paperback of Sean William’s The Force Unleashed novelization today.
(It’s also a good time to start keeping an eye out for Ryder Windham’s A New Hope: The Life of Luke Skywalker. The official release date is next Tuesday, but Scholastic doesn’t seem to use the same strict streeting as Del Rey, so booksellers may put it out whenever it arrives.)
EUbits: FOTJ audio, TOR’s Threat of Peace, Dark Horse one-shots & previews, Holostar
Fate of the Jedi: Hard up for something even after the panel video? Well, you can listen to an audiobook sample of Abyss at Random House now. Seems to be the same section we got a peek at in Omen. (Thanks to Zee Zee.)
The Old Republic. I’m pretty sure I missed blogging that the second part of the TOR webcomic is well underway. (The gaming is always the first to go.)
Dark Horse. Randy Stradley reveals the one-shots on the boards. (via) And also lost in the shuffle, several previews: The Clone Wars #8, Knights of the Old Republic #44, Legacy #39 and Dark Times #14.
Holostar. Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff talks the title of her book… But no reveal of who the holostar is yet.
Out this week: Dark Times and Invasion
No book releases until the 18th (more on that later,) but you can look forward to two comics on Wednesday: Dark Times: Blue Harvest #0, which looks to be the online lead-in in print form, and Invasion #2.
EUbits: Weaver, Chee, Wallace and TCW
- Toys: Rebelscum has pictures of Hasbro’s evolution of the Sith set, including shirtless Maul, Darth Nihilus, and the please-someone-get-him-a-tissue Darth Bane, right.
