DARK HORSE COMICS FIRST LOOKS

FIRST LOOK: STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC #40

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #40 will arrive in stores on April 22 from Dark Horse Comics. The issue is written by John Jackson Miller, with art by Brian Ching and a cover by Daryl Mandryk.

Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:

"Zayne is entered in the 'Dueling Duo' Tandem Open, and he has had a special handicap forced on him by threat of death! Aubin, the inexperienced, backward son of a veteran warrior-hero will be his partner in the preliminary battles! Zayne must make sure his partner survives the duels until the last round -- but he can't figure out what is behind Aubin's entrance in the battles. That is, until Jarael discovers that what drives the duel sports is a slavery-based 'farm system' that provides the warriors. Jarael, Gryph, Rohlan, and Zayne must save Aubin and bring exposure to what horrors lie beneath the surface of the duels."

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #40 will be 24 pages and will cost $2.99.

FIRST LOOK: CONAN THE CIMMERIAN #10

Conan the Cimmerian #10 will arrive in stores on April 29 from Dark Horse Comics. The issue is written by Timothy Truman, with art by Tomas Giorello and a cover by Joseph Michael Linsner.

Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:

"As the 'Black Colossus' story arc continues, this issue focuses on Natohk, as he builds his army of desert tribesmen, bloodthirsty nomads, and demons to begin his invasion of Hyboria! Natohk has his sights set on the border city of Khoraja first, and he sends his fearsome horde to take it and begin their full assault on Koth -- a country filled with petty, quarreling rulers. Heading toward Khoraja with the rest of Amalric's mercenaries, Conan is still learning the ways of military discipline and strategy, impressing his leader while also making some enemies among Amalric's foot soldiers. Princess Yasmela is Khoraja's remaining sovereign. Haunted by terrifying apparitions and demonic visits, she prays to Mitra for help as Natohk's forces near her war-torn country and her near-defenseless city."

Conan the Cimmerian #10 will be 40 pages and will cost $2.99.
