FIRST LOOK: STAR WARS: DARK TIMES #1
Star Wars: Dark Times #1 #1 will arrive in stores on Nov. 1 from Dark Horse Comics. The issue is written by Welles Hartley and Mick Harrison, with art and cover by Douglas Wheatley.
Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:
"'For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire.' --Ben Kenobi
"The dark times are here. Even as the worlds of the former Republic are drawn into the iron grip of Palpatine's Empire, the galaxy seems adrift in a sea of chaos, lawlessness, and despair.
"On Coruscant, Darth Vader waits for his Master to reveal his vision for the future. But is there a plan beyond obtaining power? On New Plympto, Jedi Master Dass Jennir leads a Nosaurian army in a war they have already lost. Is this what it now means to be a Jedi?
"Dark Times #1 is the gateway to a new era in Star Wars history, an era where the future is grim, evil is on the rise, and all paths seem to lead nowhere..."
Star Wars: Dark Times #1 #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
