    I will get my issue tomorrow and I was doing fine with that until I read that ‘Finn Mystery’ part… :)

  2. Tom says:

    I do this purely to bug you.

  3. Corax says:

    I figured as much, just a couple more hours and I will discover the Finn Mystery myself :)

  4. Scioli says:

    Its amazing how every aspect of this comic just gets better with each issue. Tom Taylor is definitely the coolest person…. ever.

  5. Corax says:

    Finally got to read the issue, mltiple times and it’s great!! Finn’s Secret is so awesome that it left me wanting more and more. I do have one question though, and I don’t know if you can answer it. How old is Finn? And Kaye for that matter?

    Keep up the great work I need more comics like this. After three issues Invasion is easily tied with Legacy as my all time favorites from Dark Horse.

  6. Tom says:

    Thanks Corax. Glad to see so much positive reaction to this issue. You’ll find out the ages in the next arc… Kaye is eighteen though (I saw some people asking about that).
    Keep reading and tell everyone to do the same.

  7. Tom says:

    Cheers Scioli. I’m sure you’re not so bad yourself. Always nice to hear praise for our book. I hope we can keep it running strong for you.

  8. Joey says:

    I am so blown away by how great this issue was. Finn surprised me so much at the end. Really Tom your doing an amazing job and so is Colin Wilson. Keep up the great work.

  9. Tom says:

    Thanks Joey!
    Tell your friends… and your casual acquaintances… and your enemies. In fact, if you feel like hiring a sky writer and letting most major cities know, that would be appreciated. You’re cool with that, right? ;)

  10. Corax says:

    Well Invasion #1 did knock off Legacy as the top selling Star Wars comic for July. That’s something that hasn’t been done very often or in quite a long time.

  11. Tom says:

    According to the Dark Horse website, Star Wars: Invasion #2 is Dark Horse’s number 1 seller… interesting.

  12. Corax says:

    Neat, I never noticed that on the site. I went by Diamonds figures from this site: http://newsarama.com/comics/090813-diamond-july09-sales.html

    Overall Invasion #1 was the 80th bestselling comic and Legacy was 89th.

  13. Tom says:

    I’m not sure what it means either. Maybe this is including ‘non-Diamond’ sales…?

  14. Corax says:

    Maybe or Dark Horse could be tracking the sales of their comics a little farther out than Diamond does.
