COMMENTS
Dark Horse Extra was a 25¢ periodical sold thru comic specialty shops. It was 14 3/4" wide and 21 1/2" tall, folded once vertically. On some occasions it may also have been folded again horizontally. It contained three serialized strips, two on the front page and one on the back. Inside was a full page poster (measuring 14 3/4" by 21 1/2") and a full page devoted to upcoming releases called "News from the Stable" by Ivana Fanboy. The rear page also featured an ad and a column on the Dark Horse Web Site called "Rumblings in the Force" by Jedi Master J'lee Sondaw.

This issue also features Planet of the Apes part 1 by Scott Allie, Eric Powell & Dan Jackson and Angel part 1 by Joss Whedon, Brett Matthews, Mel Rubi, Chris Dreier & Dan Jackson, plus a poster for Outlaw 7 by Logan Lubera.

SYNOPSIS
Xiaan relates stories to Quinlan Vos of his adventures with his Padawan, Aayla Secura, including missions to Solibus IV and Xoman Three. Quin regrets that he cannot remember these; that they are only stories to him.

The young padawan also tells him of another time when Aayla actually sought her out and presented her with a special gift, a Hearts of Fire from Quin's homeworld. Aayla tells Xiaan that it holds a little bit of the giver and the receiver in it. Xiaan then presents it to Quin to aid him in his search for his padawan.
