A new series of STAR WARS came out this week featuring characters from the original trilogy!! This takes place soon after this happened :dstar and you will see :r2d2 and :vaderxmas without the Santa cap though but you probably wont be seeing :fettrotj but our heroes are sure to run into a bunch of these :trooper I cant wait to dig into this series! It is supposed to be an ongoing series probably until they lose the rights to publish. At $2.99 you have to get it!

But this won't be able to run very long, right? Won't the comic rights shift to Marvel after this year?

I'm not sure when Marvel takes over. I need to check on that.

Dark Horse publishing rights are over at the end of this year. I didn't see an official date for Marvel to take over but I'm sure they will.
Here is a short blog by the writer of the new STAR WARS series Brian Wood.

They had several copies at my local comic shop over last weekend. If I see it again I'll grab a copy for you Kenny.

Speaking of hard-to-find Star Wars goodies...

My (almost) local comic book shop has a "Revenge Of The Jedi" poster... Haven't seen one of those in, oh, 30 years, now?

Just read it this evening. Good book, nice art. Set pretty much after the Battle of Yavin as the Rebels search for a new base. It's great to see the classic characters in a new comic again. Definitely going on my monthly pull list.

Issue two came out this past Wednesday.

I have issue one on order!

ChrisMC · February 17, 2013, 01:00:49 PM

I really enjoyed issue one, hope we get a good amount of issues in this series.

Well, probably only until Disney gives Dark Horse the boot and moves to Marvel for SW comics. That day is coming fast.
