Reviews For Star Wars: Invasion #5

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Yep, it’s review time again.

Interestingly enough, I haven’t read a truly negative review since issue 2.  So, clearly we’re doing something right.  I’ll update this post as they come in but, already, there are some very nice reviews coming in for Star Wars: invasion #5.

The Comic Center devotes an entire video episode to Star Wars comics and has some nice things to say about Invasion.

“It’s good.  It’s really good.” “Tom Taylor is writing some really good dialogue.”  “…the Star Wars Invasion one-shot from Dark Horse… just came out.  Search it out.  Pick it up.  I love it.”

- Comic Centre

From Undercover Fanboy.

“…the interaction between the Solos twins and Leia and Anakin about the death of Chewbacca was worth the price of admission. Writer Tom Taylor is doing an amazing job writing established characters while covering new ground at the same time.  Here’s to hoping that Invasion will be the new series Dark Horse was talking about (and) Tom Taylor will still be the writer…”

“4 STARS”

- Undercover Fanboy

We come in for more praise from the good people over at NJOE.

“This was a spectacular ending to an outstanding new series.”

- NJOE

Meanwhile, EU Cantina has updated with reviews for issue 1-4.

You can read reviews of all four issues here, here, here and here.

They have consistently give us 4-4.5 Sith Hounds…

I find this amusing…

Star Wars: Invasion #4 Reviews

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

The first reviews are coming in for Star Wars Invasion #4.

From Comic List…

“The artwork was outstanding. I enjoyed all of the details of Falcon. Whether it’s the interior or the exterior, the Falcon looks every bit the part of the original trilogy.”

“For those readers who are craving the original trilogy cast then this issue is for you. Not only do you get most of the key characters, but they don’t feel hollow. Their dialogue and actions seem worthy of the actions that took place in Return of the Jedi… 4 out of 5 geek goggles.”

-Comiclist.com

mf

NJOE.com have a lot to say, with Kaye Galfridian getting a heap of love.

“Have I mentioned before that I love Kaye? I do, I really do. Everything about her just screams ‘Kick ass!!’”

“AND Tom totally nailed the interaction between Han and Leia!! That whole scene was heartbreakingly sad and humorous at the same time.”

-NJOE.com

From Undercover Fanboy…

“(A) Must buy for any Star Wars fans.”

-Undercoverfanboy.com

Also, there will be some big news tomorrow – stay tuned.

STAR WARS ADVENTURES: LUKE SKYWALKER AND THE TREASURE OF THE DRAGONSNAKES

Written by Tom Taylor, art by Daxiong.

The movie The Empire Strikes Back shows us only a small portion of Luke Skywalker’s Jedi training under the tutelage of Master Yoda. In this story, witness a never-before-seen part of that training as Luke is given the task of finding — and retrieving — an object guarded by the deadliest creatures on the swamp world of Dagobah: the monstrous dragonsnakes! This is the most harrowing, dangerous, and muddiest mission that Luke has ever faced!

80 pages, $7.95

My first Star Wars: Adventures story, Luke Skywalker and The Treasure of The Dragonsnakes, is solicited over at Star Wars.com.  A 72 page graphic novella suitable for all ages (kinda… provided Daxiong doesn’t scare the crap out of people with his art).

This means I now have four comics coming out over October and November, with Star Wars: Invasion #4 and #5 joining this and the special Invasion #0 also coming out.  I’ve seen Colin’s art for the extra pages in Star Wars: Invasion #0 and the last page may just be my favourite of the series so far…
