EUbits: Blood Oath, Invasion, Rebel Force, Insider and Matthew Stover branches out

Cannot predict now. Despite the reappearance of Elaine Cunningham’s Blood Oath in the Del Rey online catalog with a 2010 release date, we still don’t know if the book will make it to publication. Sue Rostoni said yesterday: “Can’t say yet. Still don’t have the entire manuscript.” (She also answers some questions about the Crosscurrent cover.)

Invasion. EU Cantina has an interview with Tom Taylor and Colin Wilson.
Holostar. Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff on the Force and the light/dark divide.
Rebel Force. Randy Martinez talks about his covers for the Scholastic series.
Star Wars Insider. #111 has a Clone Wars cover (how novel!) and a peek at The Essential Star Wars Atlas. It’s due by the end of the month.
Authors. Matthew Stover is writing at least one God of War book for Del Rey, or at least that’s what several gaming sites are saying. There’s something in the Random House catalog at any rate.

Invasion #1 reviews and interviews

So the new comic debuted last week, and both NJOE and IGN have reviews, while Dark Horse has an interview with creators Tom Taylor and Colin Wilson.

I was fairly underwhelmed with it, but that’s pretty much par for the course with Dark Horse… I’ll just have to wait and see how it pans out.

EUbits: The Clone Wars art book, Essential Atlas skips back again, Bohnhoff on Dash

First look: StarWars.com gives us a peek at The Art of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. I continue to wince at the appropriation of McQuarrie art in the name of designs based on those awful puppets. (Not that people were exactly Ralph’s greatest either, but if one must choose…) Your mileage may vary, but this is probably one Art of I’ll be sitting out for.

Street date shuffle: The Essential Atlas has been moved back to August 18. Only a month this time!
The blogside. Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff considers Dash Rendar in her latest Padawan’s Journal.
Interviews: EUC is taking questions for their interview with Invasion’s Colin Wilson and Tom Taylor.

Interviews with the Invasion team

TFN has two separate interviews with the creative team behind Dark Horse’s upcoming New Jedi Order comic, Invasion. The first is with writer Tom Taylor, by former staffer Mike Cooper on their message boards. The second, on TFN proper, is with artist Colin Wilson, who’s also worked on the Star Wars titles Legacy and Republic.

And don’t forget about our Invasion poll!

NYCC: Dark Horse takes on the NJO with Invasion

News out of New York Comic Con! Dark Horse is launching a new ongoing series based in the New Jedi Order era, Invasion… It follows the Yuuzhan Vong and will feature main characters like Luke and Jacen. It’s scripted by Tom Taylor with art by Colin Wilson, and will launch with a web-only preview issue on StarWars.com in May. (via)

UPDATE: Dark Horse is not adding a another book; Rebellion is getting the ax and Invasion is replacing it. Check out a full report from NYCC’s Dark Horse panel at Newsarama.

Also coming up, Fixer. Um, okay. And a webcomic tie-in with The Old Republic.
