Comic Afterthoughts The Pull List (8/13/14): Star Wars ends for Dark Horse
Posted By Andy Smith on Wed, Aug 13, 2014 at 5:03 PM
After taking a glance at the comic racks this week, you may not guess that Dark Horse Comics will soon stop producing Star Wars comics. As of 2015, the license returns to Marvel Comics, meaning the days of Dark Horse's take on that galaxy far, far away are numbered. Here’s the line-up of releases this week.
The current title under the broad Star Wars label has been ongoing since 2013, this week’s #20 ends the series. Brian Wood’s writing has been hailed, and even though the Dark Horse books are being dropped as official canon for Disney, many fans say the book shouldn’t be ignored. Even though Dark Horse’s Star Wars reign ends in December, the company decided to bring this comic to an early end.
Also, look out for the Star Wars Legacy II Vol. 3 trade today, as well as the Star Wars Lucas Draft Deluxe Edition set. The latter is adapted from the original Lucas story, before many changes were made for the end product. The result is a fascinating, "what if" kind of deal.
