Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Be sure to make it out to your local comic shop on Wednesday, as Dawn Of The Jedi: Force Storm #2 will hitting the shelves. Also on the list are two new trades: The Old Republic: The Lost Suns and an Other Sons of Tatooine omnibus, featuring such luminaries as Biggs Darklighter, Janek “Tank” Sunber and… BoShek. Alrighty then.
In other news, Del Rey’s Star Wars team now has a dedicated twitter account, @DelReyStarWars.
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.
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.
Also keep an eye out for Star Wars Insider #128, which features a Dash Rendar story from Michael Reeves and Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff and “five storytelling faux pas” from Timothy Zahn.
As you may have already heard, the eighth Fate of the Jedi novel, Christie Golden’s Ascension, will be in book stores tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Wednesday brings several comics: Invasion: Revelations #2, The Old Republic: The Lost Suns #3 and a trade, volume 4 of A Long Time Ago...
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.
It’s a good week for comic fans, with the debut of Scott Allie’s Jedi: The Dark Side #1 in stores Wednesday. Also shipping this week are two trades: Blood Ties: A Tale of Jango and Boba Fett and the second Old Republic collection, Threat of Peace.
And don’t forget next week brings new Fate of the Jedi!
