(More customer reviews)As a long time fan of the Star Wars Saga, the comic contribution to what has come to be known as the Star Wars "Expanded Universe" has always had a special appeal for me. With the Star Wars Omnibus collection series, Dark Horse Comics is offering fans a great opportunity to explore their vast published works in that beloved galaxy "far, far away." The Star Wars Omnibus "Menace Revealed" is an extra special volume in the series because, in its 480 pages, this book contains a wealth of hard to find adventures that take place before, during and after the events of the Prequel Trilogy films, "The Phantom Menace," and "Attack of the Clones."
The contents of this omnibus features stories showcasing a myriad cast from the Saga, from those known in the films like Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Jedi Masters Yoda and Mace Windu, to characters given more depth in the "Expanded Universe," like the deadly bounty hunter Aurra Sing, who is featured on the book's cover in an illustration by Jon Foster. The albino assassin is featured in two tales, "The Hunt for Aurra Sing" and "The Bounty Hunters: Aurra Sing," and much of her history is revealed, including her link to the Jedi Order.
Another famous or infamous bounty hunter, Jango Fett, shares two adventures in the book with another gun-for-hire, Zam Wesell, that show them in action before their movie debut in "Attack of the Clones."
The Jedi Master and apprentice duo of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker share heroics in "Jedi Quest" and "Practice Makes Perfect" and are featured in two other stories as well.
In a galaxy as vast as the Star Wars galaxy, not even George Lucas' epic films could showcase all the tales its stars shine on and this omnibus also shines the light on characters never seen in the films. "Starcrash" tells a tale of "newly christened Jedi Knight" Yoshi Raph-Elan and his adventure with a beautiful princess. "Starfighter Crossbones" relates the exploits of the daring space pirate Captain Nym, a character introduced in a LucasArts video game.
A surprise treat for me was the discovery of a three paged tale of the Jedi Master Quinlan Voss called "Heart of Fire," created by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema. This writer/artist team have created a growing library of great Star Wars comics which continue with their collaboration on the "Star Wars Legacy" series.
This Star Wars Omnibus contains all the above and more. For Star Wars fans like myself and for fans of grand, entertaining comics, this book comes highly recommended.
