Lit Literature Forum Upcoming Release Dates and Index

Welcome to the Literature Forum Upcoming Release Dates and Index Thread! In this first post, you'll find all the upcoming release dates for EU books and comics, updated regularly. In the second post you'll find links to the important threads in the forum, including a few with interesting insights into the history of the forum.

If you're new to the forum, or even new to the EU, we hope this can act as a guide, both to the new products coming into the EU, and to some of the more important and significant discussions that our Litizens have had over time. Also, please take a look at the Rules, Spoiler Policy, and Code of Conduct Thread and the New to the EU? Your Questions, Answered Here! threads!

The Upcoming Release Dates post is kept as up to date as we can keep it, with a ton of help from you, the Litizen, with full and heavy acknowledgment to wilde_karrde who started the list, and [eddie1969, who curently maintains it. The Index, on the other hand, is updated monthly as well as from user suggestions. The Index is based upon our very old index created by Wampa, with a lot of help from former Lit forum moderator Kadue. You can view that index here. This edition is an iteration of the more recent index maintained by user Kast_Morben. There are a number of locked or older threads there that have not been included in this most recent update of the index.

This thread was created to avoid redundancy, keep track of the many projects and resources we have running in the literature forum, and above all to help you the Litizen to find threads useful to you.

If you think a topic is worth adding to the list, please drop a line in this thread or contact one of our friendly Literature moderators:

It might have been. I was going off of the last info I had, but that may be outdated. If you can find a publication date (actual day), please let me know and I'll update it.

- Keralys

I thought the Atlas was pushed back to February.

It was. The list still needs to be updated a bit.

Aw, and here I had a brief moment of hope. :(

BLAM! Updated! I've now included the dates for KotOR #33, Legacy #28, and Clone Wars #1, and moved the Atlas to its proper place in February. (Sorry for the false hope; I went with what I had before.)

ETA: And I properly placed O66, since it got pushed back.

Keep the info coming, folks!

- Keralys

Thanks! I have those all integrated in now, with the exception that I need to grab covers and discussion threads for some of them. Much appreciate it, man. Keep this up, and we're going to have to put your name in the thread.

- Keralys

Got it. Thanks!

- Keralys

Thanks! Integrated those and added the link for the discussion thread for Luke Skywalker: Last Hope for the Galaxy.

- Keralys

Blam! In the thread now! Take that, you wildly varying dates, you!
