EU books and Comic Chat

Marvel do know what they are doing, it will repent on who they ask to write. I see some of their current favourites like bendis (x-men) getting a crack.

Don't forget Marvel held the comic rights back in the day so I'm not too worried, and let's be honest Dark horses hey day is some way behind them and while they have produced some truly fantastic stories of late they haven't been doing so well.

End of an era, yes, but this could breath new life into the comic world.

Just finished Scoundrels. A good read but not worth the hype. I had about 6 or 7 guesses of the big reveal but none of them were correct.

I really enjoyed scoundrels, but don't think it was zahns best

Chatting with someone last week who mentioned that dark horse also loose their back issue rights, everything reverts to Marvel which means re-releases of all the old classics and all of the runs from the last 20 years heading our way I'm sure.

Nothing new there. Lucasfilm always owned the rights to the original marvel comics which is why when dark horse had the license they reprinted the old marvel stiff.

It's now gone full circle.

I'm really struggling to finish the fate of the Jedi series and I'm not sure why because I have enjoyed it so far. It has been a bit drawn out I suppose. Starting book 8 on Monday
