That answer your question? wink

Yes. Yes it does. grin

In any case, this looks to be pretty sweet.


That artwork is simply gorgeous. I sure love his work! grin That shot the shuttle approaching the Venator-class Star Destroyer is breathtaking.

Excellent artwork, especially the first shot! It's nice to see that Dark Times is still using Venator-class Star Destroyers and V-wings, instead of simply replacing them with ISDs and TIEs. And "Core Space"? Maybe we'll be seeing more of the Core in this issue?

Oh, that is a Venator. For a second, I thought it was an Acclamator, because it was from the side, so I didn't recognize the silhoulette immediately, and I'm not used to seeing it in Imperial grey (I miss the Republic red). Yeah, its nice to see Venators and V-wings still around, unlike a lot of the rest of the Dark Times era which seems to have jumped straight to Rebellion era stuff. Great artwork, and poor Jenks, but at least we finally see the inside of that crate. Wonder if Jennir will show up again soon or not (given the centtral piece of Vector, a Jedi should probably be involved). Let's all hope the release date doesn't change too much.

I agree impressive art... I was going to pick this up just because it tied into Vector and wasen't looking forward to it much but the art along wit Vader playing a big role has got me excited. Now comes the wait. cry

Is it just me, or does that guy who looks over Vader's shoulder in the cell seem to be same guy in a spacesuit on the cover of Dark Times 12?

Awesome preview, though! (I loved seeing Aridus getting mentioned again!)

It's a sleeper cask, of course. Looks just like a deep hybernation unit. Probably doing an Arden Lyn play of cards.

Commendable art and dialogue. With calibre this sharp, Dark Times' own hybernation is dismaying indeed.

It looks to me too that it is the same man.

Now this is the art worthy of Vector. grin

I think that's the same guy.
And he is wearing a monocle... like Camper! wink

Wheatley delivers some great visuals here but, while we all applaud, remember this: You rarely ever get art of this calibre and a monthly title! It just doesn't happen.

I couldn't help laughing when I saw this on page two:


Darth Vader posted:
Do you know who I am?


Anyone who has seen the Eddie Izzard 'Death Star cantine' sketch should know why.

tongue

Let me guess, the interrogation involves a tray?

Anyway, stupidendous art, this looks like its going to be great. I've been impressed with Dark Times so far, some great characters and plots.
