Two epic battles have been raging in the pages of Star Wars: Invasion – Revelations and DCUO Legends: The Brainiac – Sinestro Corps War, and both come to a climactic end this week. Two wars. Two Galaxies. Two books. Two publishers. One big week.
These two story arcs probably contain my largest ever fictional body count.
DC Universe Online Legends #17
Written by: Tom Taylor
Art by: Bruno Redondo
Cover by: Doug Mahnke
Colored by: Jorge Gonzalez
Hal Jordan is seriously conflicted as he and the Green Lantern Corps arrive at Korugar to “contain” the war between Sinestro’s Yellow Lanterns and Brainiac–but can they save the planet of innocents caught in the crossfire? And how desperate could things possibly get that would see Hal team up with Sinestro for one final battle?!
Star Wars: Invasion—Revelations #5
Writer: Tom Taylor
Artist: Colin Wilson
Colorist: Wes Dzioba
Cover Artist: Chris Scalf
Release: November 16, 2011
32 pages, issue 5 of 5
Queen Nina and Princess Kaye have successfully rescued the refugees from the Battle of Shramar, but the Yuuzhan Vong invaders may still have another win for their tally. Or is there another revelation in store? Meanwhile, on Coruscant, Jedi-in-training Finn Galfridian finds that in trying to prevent an assassination, he may be complicit in one! The next revelation may be about Finn’s new mentor!

Today sees the release of Star Wars: Invasion – Revelations #4 and, although there have been plenty of surprises so far, this is the issue where the ‘Revelations’ become, well… revelatory. Issue #4 is where it also gets quite explodey and carnagey, as you’d probably expect from a cover like this…
And don’t forget, next week sees my first work in the DC Universe as I pit the Green Lantern Corps against Sinestro and Brainiac in DCUO Legends #16.

Star Wars Invasion: Revelations #3 is out this week in print and as a digital download. And it comes with a creepy, creepy, cover from Chris Scalf, inspired by the equally creepy illustrations of Colin Wilson.
I remember when Colin showed me the first moment of the ‘tentaclisation’ of Nina Galfridian on the Heart of Artorias. I was kinda horrified by the tentacles piercing her face. Oddly enough, this gruesome element stayed in the book, and now it’s made it onto a cover… actually, two covers including Jo Chen’s variant from Refugees.
Click the cover for the preview.

Yes, this Wednesday, as well as being able to pick up the print version of Star Wars: Invasion – Revelations #2, the digital version of #1 will be available via the Dark Horse App.
This will be the first comic I’ve written which will be properly formatted for reading on the iPad. I’m looking forward to seeing the results with a lot more of my work set to feature in this format very soon.
And, with the exclusive preview of Revelations #2 being up at CBR, that means more incredible Colin Wilson images will soon appear on the iPad like this…
So, be sure and pick up Revelations #2 and get downloading.
And please remember to pick up The Deep: Here Be Dragons if you haven’t already. It came out last week. It’s good. People say so. And people are always right.

This hit Newsarama today. Do I really need to comment. No. Let Chris Scalf’s cover speak for itself.
STAR WARS: INVASION—REVELATIONS #4 (of 5)
Tom Taylor (W), Colin Wilson (A), Wes Dzioba (C), and Chris Scalf (Cover)
On sale Oct 12
FC, 32 pages
$3.50
Miniseries
Queen Nina and Princess Kaye’s attack on the Yuuzhan Vong collaborators on Shramar has brought Warmaster Tsavong Lah and his armada to the scene.
But the New Republic has some special forces in reserve: namely, every free ship in the sector! It’s a space battle of epic proportions as pirate ships, freighters, and Imperial vessels join the New Republic’s fleet against the invaders from another galaxy!
Chris and I are working on two (possibly three) new series at the moment, including the previously announced ‘Voice of a Dragon’. More news soon…

Yes. Star Wars: Invasion has arrived with the new story arc ‘Revelations’.
And the official Star Wars site has an exclusive preview of issue #1 where Colin Wilson sends Luke Skywalker into battle against impossible odds.
Right here – StarWars.com
Epic battles. Betrayal. The Yuuzhan Vong. The Empire. The Galfridians. A secret weapon that could spell the end of the galaxy and more twists than you could poke a double-bladed lightsaber at.
So big we had to do it twice. Yes, two covers! Revelations #1 comes with a cover by our new cover artist, the always brilliant Chris Scalf (artist on Star Wars: Blood Ties), and a special variant by the great Dave Dorman, to mark the 25th anniversary of Dark Horse comics.
And don’t forget, coming in the next few weeks – The Deep!

Now less than a month away from its official release, The Deep: Here be Dragons has been getting some fantastic publicity. With TEN exclusive preview pages now available at Comic Book Resources, the interest level for this book has grown and grown. I’ve done a pile of interviews and am set to do a pile more.
Thought I’d stick links up to the interviews I’ve done so far for The Deep, and also post a link to the Official Facebook site – Right here.
Comic Book Resources (with ten exclusive preview pages) – Exclusive: Tom Taylor Explores ‘The Deep’
“The Deep” is a wonderful concept… a “Fantastic Four” meets “Fantastic Journey” – CBR
MTV Geek – Fun interview – (and similar pun to CBR) – Exploring The Deep with writer Tom Taylor
“…impressive stuff thanks to Taylor’s simple and clear take on the Nekton family combined with the wonderful cartoon-style art by Brouwer. It strikes just the right balance between smart, funny, and menacing…” – MTV
Comic Booked Interview with the brilliant Nicci Sixx – Take a Journey to The Deep
“Fun for the whole family, I highly recommend grabbing your copy the very day it drops, and tucking your own family in with it that very same evening.…new depths of ageless family entertainment.”
Broken Frontier Interview with, fellow Australian, Kris Bather – Tom Taylor Dives Deep
“Australian writer Tom Taylor has been a juggler, a fire eater, a playwright and more. He’s chartered the course of Luke Skywalker and DC’s The Authority and now has an all-ages undersea adventure to be told in the attractive pages of new OGN, The Deep.” – Broken Frontier

The trade paperback collection of Star Wars Invasion: Rescues is out this week in comic book stores worldwide. It is also available over at Amazon where, for some reason, it is currently almost half price – http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Invasion-2-Rescues/dp/1595826300 – Very tempted to buy some myself at that price…
“Remember when you first saw Star Wars, that feeling of wonder and excitement at things being new and a wonderful adventure waiting to take you away? That’s where I was here…If you enjoyed Star Wars then this is a must, pure and simple.” – PDX COMIC GEEK.
“Tom Taylor knows how to write a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat and Colin Wilson has made this era of Star Wars his own.” - A COMIC BOOK BLOG
“At times approaching a meaningful theme, other times providing more visceral pleasures, it never fails to entertain. Even the relatively slow parts are kept alive by Colin Wilson’s brilliant penciling. The images of the New Republic soldiers in spacesuits being showered with toxic rain are simultaneously classic and modern, drawing, it seems, from the best aspects of sci-fi aesthetics. The design of the Yuuzhan Vong Tsalok is also awesome, approaching the ferociousness of sci-fi creatures like the Predator.“ - THE SCI-FI BLOCK
