Never heard anybody mention he used a lightsaber, even if it's a one time thing. Age of Republic Special from 2019 is the comic that this is from

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge -- Echoes of the Empire #2 (of 5)

So I have been slowly but surely collecting every Marvel Legends Epic Collection that Marvel has released. I have been enjoying them quite a bit and appreciate how comprehensive the volumes seem to be. They even collected the old original Marvel comics and the original newspaper strips.

At this point one would think Marvel has compiled pretty much every comic in the Legends timeline. However, I have found there are three different series that still have not been reprinted. The Manga Black comics, the TCW graphic novellas, and the Clone Wars Adventures comics.

Manga Black is a pretty obscure and niche series and probably wouldn't sell particularly well. While probably more popular I have always hated that TCW is in the Legends timeline anyways so I am not that interested in getting a reprint of that.

That leaves the Clone Wars Adventure comics. These were comics released during and after the release of Gennedy Tartakovsky's 2003 Clone Wars show and are done in the same art style as the show. Much like the show it's an anthology series covering different characters and stories from the war.

It spanned a total of ten volumes and each volume had 3-4 stories each 20-30ish pages. Despite how many volumes it got it was only ever printed in pocket size editions. Doing the math I realized you could pretty comfortably make two 400 page Epic Collections out of the Clone Wars Adventures series and finally print it at a more standard comic size. On top of that you could place the stories in chronological order (since the original printings jumped to all over the place on the timeline).

So what do the rest of you guys think? Did you read these comics as a kid? Would you want Epic Collection reprints of them? Let me know?

Hi guys!

I'm about to complete Poe Dameron series (I'm loving it so much and now i'm definitely sure Soule is my favorite SW writer, I love everything I've read from him).

At the same time, I collected almost every TPB from SW (2015), Darth Vader (2015) and Doctor Aphra (2016), just struggling with some of the latter.

I have ZERO spoiler about everything and I know basically nothing about Aphra.

SO, I'd like to enjoy these reads (that'll probably make me company for a couple of months at least) in the best, most comprehensive way.

I have some quick questions:

1. Which crossover events should I be careful about? I know Vader Down and Screaming Citadel, are there more?

2. Which order do you suggest? I'm afraid that I should think about reading the three series simultaneously (probably in release order) in order to best enjoy the crossovers...but I'd prefer to read the three lines from first to the last issue separately, in a row to not confuse me.

But you tell me, if it's a common thing (and specifically if there's a fan-made list with all the issues in release order), I'm open to mix the reading.

1. Are there other crossovers with other series? If you could "unread them" and read them again for the first time, would you suggest to yourself to read something else before these (or simultaneously) to enjoy/understand the best way? I'm referring also to books, I'm reading both books and comics.

Thanks in advance if you can help me!

Initially, I was always slightly more drawn to Boba Fett than to Maul—whom I once dismissed as little more than a henchman, as hollow on the inside as he was striking in design. Thanks to works like Shadow Lord, Son of Dathomir and this comic, I can say my interest in him has grown immensely!

I loved most of the stories told here. The first half focuses on pushing an expert assassin to his limits, getting creative with horror elements that permeate both tales—shifting from a lovecraftian horror regarding the antagonists to a kind of slasher movie vibe, where the protagonist himself becomes the villain. Knowing that none of the other characters can truly stand up to him—only slow him down—adds a tragic dimension to the spectacular action. It’s a potent mix of suffering and tension, leaving me with only a slight wish that I had gotten to know the victims a bit better.

The second half takes the opportunity to explore Maul’s psyche, keeping in high his ferocity as an assassin while also detailing the faint uncertainty lurking within him. He cannot help but doubt whether he is doing what is best for his master; his need for approval drives him to want to know more about the plans and question his missions—traits that are unacceptable to someone who views him merely as a tool expected to act with cold precision. I also appreciate how the story handles Sidious’s management of the dynamic and how he keeps Maul "under control," allowing for a measure of controlled chaos—after all, his apprentice is still a psychopath which only knows the pain and hatred as his only tools.

I must also highlight the exquisite artwork and coloring throughout the comic; the dominant scarlet hues make every page a visual delight that I found myself pausing to admire again and again.

In conclusion, this is an excellent analysis of Darth Maul—both his inner and outer self—and I look forward to seeing more of his adventures (in addition to following his animated future). One line stands out to me: "In a battle where darkness always wins, victory is measured by whatever light escapes."

Hello all! Unfortunately as we all know, Dark Horse seems to be in trouble with his Star Wars output. It has not been said officialy but the rumors are there.

There are still a couple of tpb to be released but nothing on the horizon.

Sometime ago they put the 'Hyperspace Stories Library Edition Volume I' which collected various titles. With the 'Volume I' tag I expected to have a 'Volume II' in the future so I did not pick any tpb or singles.

But now I doubt that it will ever release. I'm having flashbacks to IDW and their uncollected Adventures comics.

If they have lost the license could they reprint this comics in ommibus, hc or whatever? Or they could not even do that?

Or maybe Marvel or the new license holder could get them like what happened with the Legends comics?

And knowing Dark Horse (as a big fan of Hellboy), I know that their prints are low and when they go OOP they aren't reprinted. So I kinda want to grab the recent tpbs before they are rare.

So I bought this comic online for just around 5 bucks. I thought it looked cool, knew nothing about it. When I got it I opened it up and to my very big surprise I saw that it had been autographed by Temuera Morrison. It's crazy to me how someone could sell this so cheap, but maybe the seller hadn't noticed it? Idk, but I'm beyond happy to now have this in my collection 🥹

For the build-up he got, I thought that Momin would have a much more epic fight with Darth Vader, but I feel like he died just wayy too quickly and with a not so creative trick. I just expected such a character with a cool backstory and design to have a bigger role but I mean, after all I believe it was meant to serve the idea of how powerful Darth Vader is even though I didn’t feel so satisfied with the fight what do you guys think?

I typically don't like the art style in manga, but from what I've seen it looks really promising. Excited to read this.

First of all, he hired Alex Segura to write the post-Jedi era of Star Wars which was a complete failure. comics were garbage and now we have only Legacy of Vader. in my opinion Paniccia is guilty of wrecking Star Wars comics and deserves to be fired. REPLACE MARK PANICCIA!!!

i would just really like to know, where i could read it online.

the pic is from a comic i used to own fround on google

The omnibus collects Star Wars: Poe Dameron 1-31 and annuals 1-2.

Hello, I recently caught up on the 2015 Star Wars and Darth Vader series, and I wanted to read the 2020 runs as well. However, I only want to read the "best" ones, since it’s not always easy to find everything where I live, and collecting them all is too expensive anyway. I know it’s subjective and everyone has his preferences, but which story arcs from the 2020 Star Wars and Darth Vader series would you recommend? Thanks

That was quite enjoyable.

I’ll be honest: until now, I knew nothing about Galaxy's Edge other than the fact that it’s a Disney park attraction (in fact, I decided to read this mainly because Luke was on the first cover), so it was a pleasant experience to learn more about it.

Black Spire feels truly alive at times, with so many unique characters coexisting in a single space, living their lives and dealing with the galaxy's troubles as time goes by, like Ogra, Stacks, Farmer (they need better names) or Savi. I particularly liked the series' anthology-style approach; almost every issue featured a time jump, using it to develop a small, self-contained story. A special mention goes to the story about Ogra getting rid of those criminals; I always enjoy a tale where the locals stop fearing organized crime. The adventure featuring Han and Chewie being chased by Harkos and his motley crew of thugs was fun, too. They gave off vibes similar to Maz Kanata’s crew from the High Republic era.

My only real critiques are that the series feels a bit mundane at times, and I certainly would have loved a sixth issue focused entirely on Rey. She got rid of the First Order a bit too easily.

In conclusion, while I probably won't be spending $8,000 to visit the actual Galaxy's Edge anytime soon, it was great to get more lore on the place, and it remains an entertaining comic to pass the time.

Read some Star Wars trades today. One of them was Thrawn Alliances which I didn't really enjoy but Vader Dark Visions was a very fun anthology series book. The one with the nurse was especially fun and different! Have you read this?

Always have been a book reader but saw these all together for €65 and thought I’d would be a good excuse to dive into the comics!

I loved covering this noble tale about the selfless Yaddle! :)

Main cover's by Phil Noto. There will be a 1:25 Dave Dorman variant, along with another by an artist to be determined.
