Club Jade

Wednesday brings the latest Star Wars Adventures digest, Tom Taylor’s Luke Skywalker and the Treasure of the Dragonsnakes, which he’s teasing over at TFN.

Today brings our first novel of the new year: Paul S. Kemp’s Crosscurrent. Kemp’s been much in demand lately: There are interviews at TheForce.Net, swbooks.co.uk and in French at Star Wars Universe. Early reviews of the book have popped up at Flames Rising, DaveBrendon’s and Team Preston.

Don’t worry, comic fans, there’s something for you, too: Legacy #44 will be in comic shops on Wednesday.

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.

There are no new novels this week (next up is Crosscurrent on January 26) but you may find a pair of trade collections in comic stores on Wednesday: The eighth Knights of the Old Republic collection and a Shadows of the Empire omnibus. The latter omnibus contains a reprint of Mara Jade: By The Emperor’s Hand.

Tomorrow brings the last issue of The Clone Wars monthly series, the infamous #12.

And for future reference, I’ve also made a few tweaks to our Star Wars book release schedule that helps make date changes and additions stand out a bit.

Three comics out in a holiday week? Stranger things have happened, I suppose… Yes comic fans, you get three on Wednesday: Legacy #43, Knights of the Old Republic #48 and The Clone Wars: The Colossus of Destiny TPB.

Oh, and there’s some Family Guy DVD as well.

Your comic or book store may have the hardcover collection of Dark Horse’s Thrawn Trilogy comic adaptions today. I say as someone who owns all these issues: You could totally do worse.

Also, the latest Star Wars Insider.

Today you can be on the lookout for our last novel of 2009, Drew Karpyshyn’s third Darth Bane novel, Dynasty of Evil. Wednesday will bring The Clone Wars #11.

Brace yourselves for the first collection of The Clone Wars comic, Slaves of the Republic. Because I guess there’s no such thing as a character being too young for a slave girl getup in the GFFA.

Today is the day to pick up James Luceno’s Millennium Falcon in paperback. Wednesday will bring Legacy #42 and/or the seventh trade collection of the same, ‘Storms’.
