Dark Empire reissue (Epic Collection)

[Zenopus]

FYI, next month Dark Empire (1991-92) will finally be reissued as part of "Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The New Republic Vol. 5":


www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Legends-Epic-Collection/dp/1302926985


This was Dark Horse's first Star Wars comic, and was also the first continuation of the Expanded Universe timeline after Zahn's Thrawn trilogy.

The compilation includes the sequels Dark Empire II (1994-95) and Empire's End (1995) and other associated material.

These “Epic Collections” are truly expertly curated, organized, and presented. I’m tempted.

The forthcoming collection includes:

STAR WARS: DARK EMPIRE (1991) 1-6
STAR WARS: DARK EMPIRE II (1994) 1-6
STAR WARS: EMPIRE'S END (1995) 1-2
STAR WARS HANDBOOK (1998) 1, 3
MATERIAL FROM STAR WARS TALES (1999) 8, 11, 16-17

What is the bolded stuff?

Tales were comic book short story anthologies. Since these omnibi collect everything in chronological order, these are stories which occur in the right timeframe. Eg: starwars.fandom.com/wiki/The_Secret_Tales_of_Luke%27s_Hand!

FYI, this is already out-of-stock on Amazon (perhaps due to the worldwide paper shortages), but B&N apparently still has copies in stock.

I had actually forgotten to pick up a copy but I just rectified that yesterday and found one lone copy on the shelf at a local B&N. The only copy left in our entire region.

Now I can finally read these stories, 25 years later...!

My single favorite part are the evocative watercolor planets.
