Catching up on a few SW graphics at last.

Bit of a mixed bag really.

Agent of the empire Hard Targets - enjoyable, I like the James Bond thing they have going on nice to see something written from the 'other side'...

Dark time volume 6 - Meeh, ok without being anything special, thought that would be it but I see there is a new arch being written, surprised by that really.

Darth Maul Death Sentence - why... What was the point?

Knight Errant - bit rubbish really, nothing special, actually found this one hard to follow in places.

Dawn of the Jedi volume 2 - this is probably the best of the current crop, very enjoyable and worth a read I think

 

[Spookedhippie]

Monkey roo, most of those I've stayed clear of... I agree on the dawn of the jedi, a class act

Just read Blood Ties - Jango and Boba Fett.

Predictable. A throw away story although it was enjoyable.

^ can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not - either way I preordered that of amazon about 6 months ago

 

[walkie]

Nope, serious.

Not many of the current dark horse comic lines are floating my boat as such.

Still enjoying dark times, but the new legacy and star wars ones are poor IMO.

 

[monkey_roo]

Have you seen they are now doing 'The Star Wars' a graphic version of the original script when it was Luke Starkiller etc... Not sure on that one.

 

[Spookedhippie]

It's worth a read...

 

[Richard_H]

Loving In the Shadows of Yavin. Don't like the artwork but what they're doing with Luke is quite fresh.

 

[Spookedhippie]

I'm really enjoying the whole series!

End of an era - http://marvel.com/news/comics/2014/1/3/21703/lucasfilm_and_marvel_join_forces_to_publish_star_wars_comics

What does this mean for the current titles? Legacy and Star Wars would be worth continuing the other not so much.

This also explains why DH are currently pushing all their greatest hits out in omnibus format.

And this is how they will end the Clone Wars - http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=39753

Disapointed, was hoping for TV episodes but this will do.

 

[Richard_H]

This is on top of the 10 or so TV episodes we will see as bonus content

 

[monkey_roo]

Indeed, but I do wonder if those ten episode with become like the lost city of gold, ever fabled but never seen... Certainly in the UK.

 

[Richard_H]

I think they'll be webisodes. I really can't see Disney promoting them before Rebels.

 

[monkey_roo]

Hate webisode stuff, just want a good old fashioned bluray release.

 

[Spookedhippie]

Darn right... Although in the us the blu ray box set of series have has an empty disc space...

I've read somewhere that all the existing story arcs will be wrapped up by dark horse.

I hope marvel do either a decent job or they get ditched by the majority of the readership.

Poor farmhouse

[Richard_H]

Yeah I think Marvel will wrap up the Clone Wars completely. There's more chance this way of the fate of Ashoka being darker than what otherwise would have been.
