Dark Horse solicitations for June 2009

Fog? On Tatooine? Who knew!StarWars.com has the June 09 comic teases. The Legacy blurb is of particular interest, given yesterday’s John Ostrander and Jan Duursema interview:

When word reaches Moff Nyna Calixte that Imperial convoys are being attacked by Black Sun Pirates, she sends her daughter, “Gunner” Yage, and Gunner’s squadron of crack fighter pilots to intervene. But what neither of them knows is that the pirates themselves are under attack by other pirates — Cade Skywalker and the crew of the Mynock.

Despite his victory over Emperor Darth Krayt, Cade is still the galaxy’s most-wanted criminal, and Gunner’s squad is itching for another shot at him! Longtime readers: You can see what’s coming, right?

That’s Legacy #37, which kicks off the ‘Tatooine’ storyline. Also solicited are Knights of the Old Republic #42, (featuring The Rocketeer?) Dark Times #15 and new Omnibus, Menace Revealed, featuring a hodgepodge of stuff set between The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.

I’ve given you a few options beneath the cut. Continue reading “Poll: It’s wacky Fate of the Jedi theory time!”
