STAR WARS OMNIBUS: MENACE REVEALED
On sale Aug 12

This is our largest omnibus of never-before-collected and out-of-print Star Wars stories. Included here are one-shot adventures; short story arcs; specialty issues; and early Dark Horse Extra comic strips! All of these tales take place after Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and lead up to Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

In Jedi Quest, Anakin Skywalker will work to overcome his fears while on a mission to protect a freighter from pirates. Starfighter: Crossbones pits pirate against pirate, featuring the intimidating Captain Nym.

-Collects Star Wars #27: "Starcrash"; Star Wars: The Hunt for Aurra Sing; Star Wars: Jedi Quest #1–#4; Star Wars Starfighter: Crossbones #1–#3; Star Wars Episode II Hasbro Minicomics #1–#4; Dark Horse Extra #35–#37; "Heart of Fire" ; Dark Horse Extra #44-#47, “Poison Moon.”


It'll be fantastic to have the TRU minicomics in a collection, and the DHC Extra material which I've never had the chance to read before. And, of course, you can never go wrong with Nym (except by, ya know, not using him in more comics!).

Not a fan of the cover art used for the Omni cover though- Sing looks really weird and face-twisted/stretched like the Necronomicon has been messing with her.

Would have much preferred one of these:

So what's the (almost) that's left to be collected?

I've been waiting to read the entirety of Crossbones for a while. Nym was my early EU crush.

Superb!

I already have Starcrash, Aurra, Jedi Quest, and Crossbones, but darned if I know where I put them and it will be nice to have them in convenient format. And of course I don't have the TRU minis or Extras. (I am surprised HoF is here instead of the inevitable Vos Omni, but I guess they considered it tangential enough.)

"Almost" in that "almost all of the material in this omnibus is uncollected". hunt for Aurra Sing has been collected in TPB already, so that would be the "almost" exception, otherwise "all" content in the omni would have been previously uncollected.

A quick search on Dark Horse's site reveals all.

Looks like Nym finally gets his due.

This is the most recently announced one- but considering they've now collected pretty much all of the pre-AOTC material outside of the 4 Quin stories, I'd suspect the next Omni has to be a Quin one with Infinity's End, Twilight, Darkness & Rite of Passage.

Shouldn't Jango Fett/Zam Wessel and Honor and Duty be in this collection as well?
Also, seems like Heart of Fire would be a better fit for the eventual Quinlan Vos Omnibus.

The joy of the thought of having "Rite," "Twilight," and "Darkness" collected in one volume is entirely negated by the searing pain of envisioning "Infinity" sharing those same two covers. Can we get a hot Clorox enema instead?

This Omnibus I've been looking forward to. I love John Foster's covers. I hope they keep the cover art.
