After a long barren stretch, we’re seeing comics again on Wednesday. Invasion: Revelations #4 takes the New Jedi Order era comic towards the end of its third arc, while The Old Republic: The Lost Suns concludes with a “star-killing Sun Razer.” Dark Horse is really taking this whole recycling thing to heart, huh? There’s also a new Clone Wars digest, Strange Allies, featuring characters from some of those kids books we don’t cover. Whoo.
Out this week: Vader’s 3-D Reconstruction Log
Darth Vader: A 3-D Reconstruction Log should be in stores now. For the occasion, author Dan Wallace shares five things you didn’t know about the book.
…And that’s it for this week. I assume we’ll see comics at some point, but our next books will be the (long-delayed) Complete Vader on the 18th and Paul S. Kemp’s Riptide on the 25th.
Out this week: Jedi: The Dark Side, Knight Errant
Nothing coming this week but a small pile of comics for Wednesday. Jedi: The Dark Side #5 wraps up the take of Qui-Gon and his apprentice Xanatos on Telos.

No books, but there are comics. Invasion: Revelations #3 and The Old Republic: The Lost Suns #4 will both be beaming into your local comic shop on Wednesday.

It’s been a while since we’ve had any releases at all, but this week thankfully bring a few! First off, on Tuesday, you pick up the Robot Chicken: Star Wars III DVD or Blu-Ray. Hilarity we haven’t seen since Robot Chicken: Star Wars II! io9 catches up with creator Matt Senreich on why there’s no Robot Chicken Star Trek and gets an exclusive deleted scene about Princess Leia.
If you’re a fantasy fan, there’s also A Dance with Dragons, the long-awaited fifth volume of George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series. (You know, the one that began with Game if Thrones Which is now an HBO series? Yeah.) But more on that later.?
Meanwhile, there’s an actual comic in stores on Wednesday. A new storyline launches with Invasion: Revelations #1.
And come Saturday, it’s also time for the annual summertime wish-it-were-cooler tradition of the Hallmark Ornaments Premiere Weekend.
Next week? Choices of One! SDCC attendees and/or San Diego natives can enter a contest to win lunch with Tim Zahn and editor Shelly Shapiro while they’re in town for the con.
