In the first part of a three-issue story, the Republic’s air superiority on the world of Khorm is rendered moot by storms of unnatural origin. Grounded, Jedi Kit Fisto and Plo Koon plan a daring assault mission with a squad of tougher-than-nails Republic Commandos. But if going up against determined and dug-in Separatist forces wasn’t enough, the Jedi must also contend with a glory-seeking young Republic officer in their midst, Captain Kendal Ozzel.
• The Clone Wars returns to Cartoon Network this fall for its second season!

An unprecedented new adventure begins—leaving former Padawan Zayne Carrick clinging to the side of a comet!
When Zayne and crew infiltrate a comet mine, his partner Gryph believes it’s another clever con to capture some quick cash. Little does Gryph know, Zayne and Jarael have other intentions—like rescuing the miners enslaved by this ruthless mining operation.
Of course, the noble intentions of the team will all be for naught if their plot is discovered. Swimming through stardust is no place to be when enemy ships open fire!

Living a pirate’s life is as easy as bilaberry patogga when you’re an ex-Jedi with loyal compatriots—especially if you’re stealing from Black Sun pirates who are stealing from the Empire. Well, it is until both sides figure out your game.
Now under the scrutiny of Black Sun and the Empire, Cade Skywalker and crew are anxious to get away from Tatooine. Agents Gunner Yage and Morrigan Corde are hot on Cade’s trail, one of them still having a chip on her shoulder from a past encounter. And Black Sun’s Vigo is planning something special for Cade and the Imperial agents. If only the Mynock’s engines would start, all this trouble could be left behind . . .
“Star Wars: Legacy [is] a book beautifully illustrated by Jan Duursema and inked by Dan Parsons.” —The Washington Times

For science fiction fans everywhere, here are a few adidtional comics coming out that you might want to keep an eye out for, including one that I'm particularly excited about...the return of Alien Legion!!!!

FC, 88 pages
$7.95
TPB, 5 1/4" x 7 1/2"
When sixteenth-century stone carvings of animals start to go missing from museums across the globe, authorities think it’s a simple case of burglary.

Miniseries
A strange, abandoned city of impossible scale lies ready to give up its secrets, but at what cost? Jealously guarded by a half-mad group of planetary prospectors, the labyrinthine necropolis may be a treasure trove of incomparable wealth, or a funeral complex with no exit, as an archaeological team from Earth discovers too late. But these off-planet interlopers soon become the least of the prospectors’ worries, as their priceless possession offers up a monstrous surprise of murderous beasts from the darkest abyssal nightmare . . . and the prospectors only hope may lie in the unmarked graves of those they themselves betrayed.
• Rising again from the darkness, the horror of Aliens returns to the comics world. Aliens is but the first act in the relaunch of all three classic Dark Horse/Fox comics series.

FC, 352 pages
$24.95
TPB, 6" x 9"
Footsloggers and soldiers of fortune, priests, poets, killers, and cads—they fight for a future Galarchy, for cash, for a cause, for the thrill of adventure. Culled from the forgotten and unwanted of three galaxies, they are trained to be the most elite, and expendable, of fighting forces. Sometimes peacekeepers, sometimes shock troops, the Legion is sent into the Galarchy’s most desperate internal and external conflicts. Legionnaires live rough and they die hard, tough as tungsten and loyal to the dirty end.
• Alien Legion Omnibus Volume 1 features over three hundred story pages of the groundbreaking series and lays cover fire for a new Alien Legion series from Dark Horse slated to begin in late 2009!
