Comics The 'Union' comic is one of the most fun, cheesiest, ridiculous SW stories I've ever read

I can't even bring myself to read anything post-NJO, even X-wing: Mercy Kill, so I completely understand being leery after hearing about them. I do want to read Union at some point, assuming I could find it.

 

Yeah, I have had no luck in ever finding this comic.

 

Tough to not like a comic that has a cast of Bruce Willis, Tommy Lee Jones & Steve Buscemi in it

I'm not sure how much I love the book, but it isn't bad either.

It must be around, but granted I bought mine from the guy who colored the comic(Chris Chuckry) a few years back. I should ask Chris if he knows anything about the where abouts of Robert Teranishi

 

Yeah, the comic is pretty cheesy, but also pretty funny. The bachelor party is hilarious. Slightly hard time telling everybody apart (since it had like half of Rogue Squadron there), but still pretty fun, and Luke and Han are recognizable at least. Not to mention it has Booster Terrik babysitting everybody's kids and terrifying gangsters. Also nice to just see Luke's actual wedding after all these years.

 

The only real downside to Union is that thanks to Stackpole, the dialogue can be a bit clunky at times. I'm more a fan of Whedon-speak for characters than pontification.
I did like the lampshading of the "dire evil plot" and how it would actually work.

 

Got to love the Hutt tailor, also Luke’s and Mara’s force visions/ nightmares are all kinds of disturbing and the scene with the Imperials in the Civil War museum is just depressing.

 

Somebody provide the guy with some Spa and Bacehlor pics, I have no idea how to pull it off.

Well, after seeing the Spa pics, I'm sure I can pull it off...

 

A fun silly comic. The blatant photo referencing of celebrities is very annoying, though.

 

I want a Wookiee with a keg at my bachelor/bachelorette party.

 

We all know how that would end.

 

One of my favorite Star Wars TPB's, I saw a copy of the actual series going for 950 on ebay.

 

to all those who can't find this beauty of a comic, my favourite most perfect comic EVER... that may be because I own all kinds of variants of it that exist (single issues, tpb, german, english etc.) so blame me for shortage on the market!

 

And Tommy Lee Jones portrays whom?

 

For real? I never noticed in any of the Wookieepedia pics.

Man, I really need to get this comic...

 

Seems like it was a good idea to start this thread.

 

Oh. Okay, well does anyone know for real, 'cause the Corran pics don't look like TLJ.

 

hmmm and one of the girls in the spa got a Tatoo on her back.. which one was that again? can be either Iella, Tionne or Winter... and I knew this when discussing it with my cousin long ago. damn.. anybody remember? we had to compare all shots of them to see who got it.

 

I thought Solusar was Bruce Willis.

 

yeah my bad, edited my post with another question...

 

Janson is Tommy Lee Jones.

Jesus, I don't know how any of you people say you like the art.

I like a little of the casual day-to-day stuff, even though it's too Stackpoley even for me, but guys, the plot is awful. A random, utterly unexplained Moff gets so mad at Luke getting married to Mara (who is apparently powerfully symbolic of the Empire to the galaxy now despite the fact that she hasn't been associated with the Empire for fifteen years and back when she was no one in the Empire had any idea who she was and why would anybody know her secret past now anyway?) that he goes to the wedding and tries to attack it, because apparently there are no security forces anywhere ever covering the Coruscant wedding of the most famous man in the galaxy, only for Luke Skywalker to convince him to party using the power of love.

I mean, I like Hobbie-Janson-Booster hijinks, and Chewie with a keg, and Rogue ushers shooting up a swoop gang in formalwear as much as the next guy . . . but it is so awful.

 

I only want to read it for the things Havac mentioned, and the fact Karrde was actually at Mara's wedding but somehow not her funeral.
