It's a busy month for Star Wars comics. Not only do we have the reprint of Legacy 0 1/2, which sold out four times when it was origanally released back in 2006, but we have the first issue in the highly-anticipated Star Wars Comic event of 2008: Vector! Take in mind these release dates are straight from the horse's mouth (no pun intened), Dark Horse's website, which is sometimes a little iffy on correct dates.
On January 2, we have two issues of Legacy, Legacy #0 1/2 and Claws of the Dragon part 5. On January 23, we have Rebellion #11, Small Victories part 1. Dark Horse's website also shows two issues of Dark Times coming out on the twenty-third, the #8 and #9, which I'm pretty sure is a mistake. On January 30, we have the Knights of the Old Republic #25, Vector part 1, and Legacy: Claws of the Dragon part Six of Six.
We also have a bunch of trade paperbacks comic our this month. On January 9, the 30th Anniversary Collection continues with Volume 11--Union. On the 19, the final Clone Wars Adventures book, #10, is released, ending the long line of digest-sized graphic novels pencilled in the style of the cartoon series. On the 23, the compilation of Dark Times: A Path to Knowhere comes out. Also on that day, Knights of the Old Republic: Days of Fear, Knights of Anger comes out, chronicling the first half of the Days/Knights series.
Seven comics books and three trade paperbacks in one month? Either Dark Horse is starting off 2008 with a bang, or we're going to get some of it pushed back into Febuary. I doubt my wallet will complain if that happens.
As for what I suggest out of this, I say definatly pick up Knight of the Old Republic. Even if you haven't been picking it up regulary, it's essential that you get all the issues in Vector. I haven't been reading Legacy lately, so I'd suggest picking up the trade paperback later this year. The two issues I read in the beggining were pretty good.
Dark Times's Parralels is sort of medeocre. I've picked up the first two issues and I'm not impressed. As for Rebellion, definatly pick up Small Victories. While I know most weren't fans of the Akhista Gambit, I personally love this series. It's been on hiatus for a few months, and I'm glad to see it's return.
I'm not big into trade paperbacks, but I will be picking up Knights of the Old Republic. As for the others, I'm not too interested. Anyway, how come we still have the 30th Anniversary collection going into '08?
