I'd also rate it as one of the best comics of all time. Period.It drew the kind of talent even MARVEL has trouble drawing, like Howard Chaykin.Also, the current Dark Horse series also draws the best the comics field has to offer, including Garth Ennis, who did one of the best comic stories I have ever read as a one shot. It currently has 3 ongoing comic series and countless miniseries. Also lines of books, cartoons and an upcoming TV series... the only universe even close to that level of richness is Star Trek. One could argue that Trek's novels are better (I would) but Trek has never had a comic nearly as successful as any of the SW comics.So at most you could say SW is more about the visuals... but even then, the idea that there's not enough depth to support multiple stories seems like a statement already proven false.Unless you're going to argue that EVERYTHING produced for the expanded universe sucks too.
