Knights of the Old Republic #11 & other News!!

Picked up the latest issue of Knights of the Old Republic this week! Once again another fantastic issue! This series just gets better and better. This issue starts a new 2 part story arc called Reunion. The misfits of the Last Resort in an effort to score some cash fall into another hapless adventure and Zayne encounters someone from his past! This issue is jamb packed with lots of humorous moments that will keep you laughing.

One of the highlights of the issue is a letter at the end of the issue by Jeremy Barlow about upcoming events for the 30th anniversary of Star Wars next year. Most of it is much of what we already know. The limited edition Hardback books, the trades of Legacy and Rebellion, and the Panel to Panel 2 book. But what he also mentions is "a couple of brand new, original graphic novels, content of which will make a lasting impression on the Star Wars status quo." WOW!! What a tease they are!! These sound fantastic. I am pumped about hopefully finding out more info about these hopefully soon.

All in all this next year promises to be fantastic for Star Wars fans all around the world.

Star Wars Miniatures Progress Report:

Well, I’ve been collecting Wizards of the Coasts Star Wars Miniatures for about 3 months now! I think I’m getting caught up. I’m almost half way there with what has been released at this point. I am not really considering promos or exclusives at this point. So in the eyes of some that may skew my numbers a bit.

So far my favorite set is the Rebel Storm set! I just got mine yesterday! Ordered a case and Starter set from www.miniaturemarket.com!! They have a good deal on cases and free shipping on any orders over $75.

Hopefully sometime soon I might get a chance to play a game. Not much of a call for it around here. Plus I’m 30 and don’t have too many friends who collect or play.

A Loooong Time Ago.....

... there was a comic called Rebellion. And a storyline entitled My Brother, My Enemy. Well after months of waiting the final issue in this story arc has finally arrived!! I picked it up today at lunch. While neatly bringing a conclusion to this story arc it left many questions wide open for hopefully upcoming Rebellion story arcs. Was it worth the wait? While the issue did present some awesome artwork and massive battle sequences, the story seemed bleak and even nonexistant. Answers to come, I suppose.

Personally, I am eagerly anticipating information on the next story arc for Rebellion. Rumors and hints have circulated suggesting that the next arc will catch us up with Boshek and Nas Ghent (from Empire and Tales stories). If true, IMO I would look forward to that more than Dark Times! We'll see...

Anyway look for Rebellion #5 at your comic shop today!!
