If Amazon is to be believed, today is the ‘official’ release date of Ryder Windham’s A New Hope: The Life of Luke Skywalker. Wednesday brings Invasion #3, featuring the triumphant return of Beefy the Vong! Or something.
Out this week: Dark Times, Legacy, TFU
Comic fans are getting two titles this Wednesday: Legacy #39 and Dark Times #14. As for book fans, you can pick up the paperback of Sean William’s The Force Unleashed novelization today.
(It’s also a good time to start keeping an eye out for Ryder Windham’s A New Hope: The Life of Luke Skywalker. The official release date is next Tuesday, but Scholastic doesn’t seem to use the same strict streeting as Del Rey, so booksellers may put it out whenever it arrives.)
Out this week: Abyss, the Atlas, KOTOR
It’s a good week for a Star Wars craving – Tuesday brings the third Fate of the Jedi novel, Troy Denning’s Abyss (read an excerpt) and the oft-delayed, highly anticipated Essential Atlas by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry. (Watch an interview.) Don’t forget it contains more than just maps.
Comic fans won’t go home empty-handed, either – Wednesday brings Knights of the Old Republic #44.
And I finally updated our book schedule page to reflect last week’s news from Sue Rostoni.
Out this week: A lone Clone Wars comic
Wednesday will bring The Clone Wars #8 to a comic shop near you.
Out this week: Dark Times and Invasion
No book releases until the 18th (more on that later,) but you can look forward to two comics on Wednesday: Dark Times: Blue Harvest #0, which looks to be the online lead-in in print form, and Invasion #2.
Out this week: Adventures, Legacy, Insider
It might be worth heading out to the comic store Wednesday, as Diamond is shipping Star Wars Adventures: Princess Leia and the Royal Ransom, Legacy #38 and even the latest Star Wars Insider.
Also worth looking for is The Art of Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Despite the October release date I spotted a copy or two at a Borders this weekend and I’m nowhere near San Diego.
Out this week: Robot Chicken, Menace Revealed, and?
Today is the day for Robot Chicken: Star Wars – Episode II DVDs! Hooray! Nothing out Wednesday but the Menace Revealed omnibus. Or..?
See, while StarWars.com and the various bookseller sites are telling me The Art of Star Wars: The Clone Wars won’t be out until fall, Diamond has it listed for Wednesday (twice: both versions?) under merchandise which means, presumably, coming to a comic store near you (if they ordered it.) Just for Comic-Con? Perhaps…
Out this week: The Clone Wars, KOTOR
Let’s hear it for comics! This week, Wednesday will bring The Clone Wars #7 and Knights of the Old Republic #43, both the beginnings of new storylines.
Out this week: The Invasion begins
Miracle of miracles, Invasion #1 is actually shipping on time. Look for it at your local comic store on Wednesday.
Out this week: Fate of the Jedi, Legacy
Tomorrow the second Fate of the Jedi book, Omen, will hit the stores. This is the first Star Wars novel we’ve seen by Christie Golden, and so far the buzz on the boards is pretty good.
Wednesday is brings something as well, with Legacy #37, the first issue of the highly anticipated ‘Tatooine’ storyline.
