Star Wars : Vaders Quest Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is definitely one of the better of the recent Star Wars comic story arcs. As a matter of fact, it is one of the best ones yet.
This comic answers the question how exactly did Darth Vader find out who that pilot was. Taking place about three weeks after A New Hope, this also has Vader and Luke's first face-to-face meeting.
This comic has witty dialogue, and art that at first seems very simple but grows on you. It turns out to be very effective, and the lightsaber blades and blaster bolts look superb.
This is a very refreshing Star Wars comic, better than a lot of the recent drivel such as Leviathan, Evolution, and Crimson Empire II. I definitely recommend this one.
It also introduces the character Mala Mala, who's backstory can be seen in issue #2 of Dark Horse's Chewbacca miniseries.

Star Wars Rebellion: Prima's Official Strategy Guide Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Jesus saves.... problems remain. Anyone with half a brain for strategy games and half an hour of playing Rebellion under their belt could have written this book. I've read and used Prima books before, and this was VERY disappointing by comparison. The stat charts in the appendices are decent, but these can be found for free online. Nowhere was there anything explaining HOW these stats work. Don't waste your money on obvious advice like, "Make sure you keep your Facilities busy."

My Brother, My Enemy (Star Wars: Rebellion, Vol. 1) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've read quite a few Dark Horse offerings in the continuing Star Wars line. To date, none has been as exciting as the first volume in the new Star Wars Rebellion series, "My Brother, My Enemy," set at the perfect time in the Star Wars chronology. Luke Skywalker has destroyed the Death Star and is the hero of the Rebellion, but the rebels are still on the run and Darth Vader is turning up every stone in the galaxy to find them.
There's no mention anywhere of Vader being Luke's father. And there are no siblings involved, either; Luke still has a crush on Leia, it seems, so the whole ick factor that spilled out in "Return of the Jedi" is still far away.
Besides Luke, Leia and the immortal Wedge Antilles, the Rebels in this tale have a strong and diverse cast of characters. On the other side, besides Vader, there's Janek "Tank" Sunber, a Tatooine native who was one of Luke's boyhood chums. Just how does it feel when one of your best friends is on the other side of a brutal conflict? This book examines the question from both perspectives.
Rob Williams has scripted a brilliant new chapter in the Star Wars saga. He has a firm grasp on the central characters from the legendary first film, and his new creations fit into the story like old friends. The tale itself is exciting, a page-turner that will only disappoint you when it ends.
The art, by illustrators Brandon Badeaux and Michel Lacombe and colorist Wil Glass, is exquisite. Lush, full and highly detailed, with rich depth and colors that leap from the page, this is the real deal. Heck, Luke and Leia even look like themselves, which is no sure thing in comics.
