Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #1

Writer: John Jackson Miller
Penciller: Brian Ching
Colorist: Michael Atiyeh
Cover: Travest Charest

On the planet Taris, a young Padawan named Zayne has been framed for a heinous and brutal crime against the Jedi order. Suddenly a wanted fugitive and on the run from his Jedi Masters, Zayne is forced to ally himself with the under-city’s criminals, con artists, and petty thieves he’d previously vowed to bring to justice. Staying alive is the first order of business and if he’s ever to clear his name, Zayne must make this new alliance work … providing he survives the experience.

• To celebrate its twentieth anniversary, Dark Horse is completely relaunching its Star Wars publishing line. This series is the first of many new titles to come.

• A new ongoing monthly series written by John Jackson Miller (Iron Man) and illustrated by Brian Ching (Star Wars Obsession), set four thousand years before the rise of the Empire and the fall of Anakin Skywalker (and eight years prior to the events in the Knights of the Old Republic video game).

• A great starting point for anyone interested in following the Star Wars saga beyond the films.

• Cover by fan-favorite artist Travis Charest (WildC.A.T.S., WildC.A.T.S/X-Men)!

Star Wars: Empire Volume 5 - Allies and Adversaries TPB

Writers: Jeremy Barlow, Ron Marz
Pencillers: Brandon Badeaux, Jeff Johnson, Joe Corroney, Adriana Melo, Nicola Scott
Colorist: Michael Atiyeh

Luke Skywalker fights side-by-side with a shipwrecked veteran from the Clone Wars, Han Solo’s flirtations with an old flame land him in the fire, and BoShek (the galaxy’s second-coolest smuggler) attracts a whole lotta blaster fire from Rebels and Imperials alike in this collection featuring some of the most unexpected stories in the era of the Empire! Whether it’s BoShek transporting an innocent-enough looking girl, Han making a supply run for the resource-strapped Alliance, or Luke flying escort for a Rebel Intelligence team on a supposedly deserted planet, these adventures may start as routine missions, but their endings are anything but predictable!

• These classic era tales of the original trilogy’s hottest stars are not to be missed!
