Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Drew Karpyshyn walks us through the writing and production of Rule of Two.
Rebelscum has even more photos of EU figures: KOTOR’s Darth Revan and Malak, plus the Pre-Cyborg Grievous.
MaryAnn Johnson snarks on Lucas’ comments about getting The Clone Wars on TV.
Newsarama reports from the Diamond Retailer Summit in Baltimore:
2008 will see Star Wars: Vector, a crossover story that will be “similar to Civil War in its scope and style,” according to Dark Horse’s Jeremy Atkins. One constant character will experience the story as it travels through all four of Dark Horse’s Star Wars titles: Knights of the Old Republic, Rebellion, Legacy and Dark Times. John Ostrander and John Jackson Miller will oversee the story direction through the titles.
A multi-book crossover? I believe that’s a first for the Star Wars comics.
As one might expect, the TFN fanboys have already got their whine on, but John Ostrander promises no flow-walking. This ought to be interesting…
Appearing on the Dark Horse site today, several November comics: Legacy #18, Dark Times #9, Knights of the Old Republic #23 and a KOTOR handbook.
Also: Another Boba Fett hardcover (how many of these things are there?), the first Dark Times collection and a ROTS photo comic I’ve given up trying to understand the whole Boba Fett phenomenon, but can someone explain to me the appeal of photo comics? Is it more than the thrill of seeing the same old photo stills and dialogue?
ETA: TFN has the actual solicitations, which include… A hardcover of Union? So they’re not pretending that whole era of the EU doesn’t exist? Shocking!
Get a first look at Knights of the Old Republic #18, Dark Times #4, Rebellion #9, and Legacy #15.
Caught up in post-CIV madness, but for now, be aware that the latest Legacy of the Force book, Sacrifice, was officially released yesterday.
Today brings to your comic store Knights of the Old Republic #17, the Jango Fett/Zam Wesell anniversary collection, and the new Panel to Panel, which focuses on Dark Horse’s contributions to the EU. And those of us trucking to Los Angeles may have missed last week’s comic releases, Legacy #12 and Dark Times #3.
Today, Rebellion #6 and the second Knights of the Old Republic collection should be gracing the shelves at your local comic book store.
Dark Horse solicitations for August 2007. Rebellion #9, Legacy #15, KOTOR #20, Dark Times #6 and more.
Also on the comic front, Wizard interviews John Ostrander.
Lots of reprints! On Tuesday, look for the paperback of Aaron Allston’s Betrayal, the first book of the Legacy of the Force series, and Star Wars: The Prequel Trilogy, a trade paperback reprinting all three prequel novelizations.
Wednesday brings the 30th Anniversary Darth Maul collection and the first trade collection of Legacy, Broken. Those yearning for new tales can turn to Knights of the Old Republic #16 and Buffy #3.
The young readers books don’t seem to have street dates, but fans are reporting that Jude Watson’s latest Last of the Jedi book, Secret Weapon, is now appearing in stores.
Meanwhile, comics fans can rejoice: Knights of the Old Republic #15 is on the shipping list for Wednesday.
Also, our book release schedule has been updated.
Dark Horse solicitations for July 2007. Legacy #14 kicks off a new storyline that promises to reveal the identity of the elusive Darth Krayt; Rebellion #8 hasd Vader visiting what appears to be the laser show (Retro!) planet; and KOTOR #19 kicks off a new arc as well. Exciting stuff.
