Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Good news, comic fans – you’re getting a crack at Legacy #19, the final chapter of the ‘Claws of the Dragon’ storyline this Wednesday. And for an added bonus, Rebellion #11 is also on the shipping list.
There’s no sign of the eagerly-awaited Legacy: Shards trade. The trades have been coming out earlier than Dark Horse lists them, but it’s still probably too soon.
Mark Kelso recreated General Grevious’ Invisible Hand from 30 pounds of Lego. Wow. Really, that’s all I can say. Wow.
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…
Legacy #16. Sorry Wantons – no additional Obi-Wan until the issue actually comes out in September.
Be sure to click through to see the whole thing.
Cade Skywalker by Nathan Getz of Getz-Calandra Productions. A bit of a manga-style touch, but not overpoweringly so.
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!
It was a busy week on the VIP blogs… First, a slightly defensive Drew Karpyshyn Rule of Two update (seriously fanboys, lay off the guy already,) then John Jackson Miller pondered keeping things unexplained, and we were favored with an Abel G. Peña double-punch on Darth names and, of all things, The Crystal Star.
Get a first look at Knights of the Old Republic #18, Dark Times #4, Rebellion #9, and Legacy #15.
Catch a first look at Legacy #14 and Rebellion #8.
