New Star Wars KOTOR monthly comic

[CrusaderX]

I guess this was announced a few days ago, but I just heard about it today.


Kicking off our new Star Wars order in January ‘06 will be Knights of the Old Republic: an ongoing monthly series written by John Jackson Miller (Iron Man) and illustrated by Brian Ching (SW Obsession), and set four thousand years before the rise of the Empire and the fall of Anakin Skywalker (and four years prior to the events in the Knights of the Old Republic video game). 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.

This could be quite cool, and it's good to see more stories from the KOTOR era.

I just wish they'd spread out from the KotOR games with this...doesn't look like they're going to, though, as its got Taris in it. Not that I don't like the games, of course, but there's so much more about this era to go into, and the older Tales of the Jedi comics really left some nice things to play with.

I'll definitely keep an eye on this and the other new line(Rebellion, I believe)

If they want more stories from this era, they could reprint Tales of the Jedi in a graphic novel format, since that is pretty much what originally defined the era, long before KOTOR came out.

All the old series have been collected into graphic novels already...and, interestingly enough, my FLGS has recieved 'new' copies of the graphic novels. It was great being able to fill in the one gap I had.

Those were pretty good stories, but I'm glad we're getting new stories as well. The last Tales of the Jedi comic, Redemption, came out in 1998. So we're long overdue.
