Star Wars: Rebellion - My Brother, My Enemy #2

Writer: Rob Williams
Artist: Brandon Badeaux
Cover: Will Glass

With the Alliance desperately low on supplies, Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles lead an odds-off ambush against an Imperial supply convoy. Meanwhile, Rebellion strategist Jorin Sol, recently rescued from the Empire’s grip by Skywalker, recovers silently in the flagship of the Rebel fleet. Yet, Sol’s scars from Imperial imprisonment and interrogation run more than skin deep, and when he wakes up, supply shortages will quickly become the least of Luke’s worries. And if that weren’t enough, Luke’s crisis is about to become even more personal when he receives a coded message from Imperial officer Janek Sunber, the man he knew a lifetime ago as his close friend, “Tank”!

• A compelling new story set between the events of A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back exploring the Rebel Alliance’s desperate struggle against the Galactic Empire, delivered in high-octane, widescreen style by writer Rob Williams (Cla$$war; SW Tales) and artist Brandon Badeaux (Superman: Man of Steel; SW Empire).

• Great starting point for new readers.

Welcome to the beginning of a grand, new chapter in the Star Wars saga!

More than a hundred years have passed since the events in Return of the Jedi and the days of the New Jedi Order.

Even as their power is failing, the Jedi hold to one final hope: the last remaining heir to the Skywalker legacy.

It's a brave new galaxy for Star Wars fans, at once familiar and surprising—interplanetary intrigue and adventure on an epic scale; iconic heroes and villains cast in new roles and caught in surprising new situations. Everything you've loved about Star Wars, but nothing you expect!

This special 25¢ comic sets the stage for the launch of the new Star Wars: Legacy series, which begins in June!

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #5

Writer: John Jackson Miller
Penciller: Travel Foreman
Colorist: Michael Atiyeh
Cover: Travest Charest

Fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick, charged with the murder of his fellow Jedi-in-training, has uncovered a junked droid that may contain vital information . . . too bad his former masters have just caught up to him! Trapped on a desolate moon surface bombarded with asteroids, Zayne’s situation seems hopeless, even with a motley crew of space stragglers at his side. But when those same scoundrels bring the droid back online, the truth revealed is far darker and more menacing than any of them could have imagined. Now, Zayne must prove his innocence, not only for his own sake, but for that of the entire Jedi order!

• Continuing the ongoing monthly series set four thousand years before the rise of the Empire and the fall of Anakin Skywalker (and eight years prior to the events in the Knights of the Old Republic video game).

• A great starting point for anyone interested in following the Star Wars saga beyond the films.

• Every issue contains concise “story-so-far” information for first-time readers.

• Cover by fan-favorite artist Travis Charest! (WildC.A.T.s)
