    Way not to answer your own question.

    My favorite comic series is Ostrander's run on Republic/Jedi; Quin is my favorite character therein. After that probably TotJ: Rememption, then probably the X-wing books or the Classic SW stuff.

    I also like Quin and Ostrander's run.

    EDIT: The Kir Kanos comics (Crimson Empire, Council of Blood and Bounty Hunter: Kenix Kil) are a close second.

    Gonna have to chime in on the Quin/Ostrander run of stories, though Nym is a close second (Jeremy- force Randy to have Haden make more Starfighter comics!).

    This is turning into quite the Quin/Jan/John free love-fest...but I'm afraid I'll have to join in. Make room.

    This, along with the Marvel series, and the Goodwin/Williamson newspaper run.

    I love Ostrander's portrayal of Dooku in the Republic/Jedi comics collected in CW Vol.4. Man, that part where he gets Quinlan to read Tinte's memories - "She is just another object." - just kinda sums up Dooku's Sith aspect for me. And Jan's art is wondeful in them.

    DE is a sentimental favorite. I loved Cam Kennedy's art in them, all blues and greens. Luke's look and characterization were cool, with this idea that he just has to know what was so tempting to his father about the darkside. Plus, the magazine-sized editions that I believe were UK imports had a bunch of cool background info printed after the story about things like Bodo Baas, Vima Da Boda, the nature of the Force, events of the TOTJ series, etc.

    A favourite-class thread permitted in Lit? :eek:

    Outlander
    By the Emperor's Hand
    Open Seasons
    Twilight
    Phantom Affair
    Masquerade
    Mandatory Retirement
    Emissaries to Malastare
    Crimson Empire
    CW4

    Their art, dialogue and plot were all commendable.

    And someone please tell the characters to stop calling each other by their full names!

    Rogue Squad has been the only series not to.

    I'm generally not interestedin EU, usually just ignoreing that stuff. But with one exception. I really enjoy "Republic" comic serires. They perectly match the style, story, characters relationships, etc. (Probably to best would be Defence of Kamino and Last Stand on Jabiim).

    I don't have one special favourite character, but obvioulsy I like the subtle development of Palpatine, slow introduction of Bail. From the new figures I like especially thisnew Whiphid Jedi master.


    I was only a bit disappointed with the new locations -they tend to be rather repetetive. Probably the most elaborate, distinctive and unique world would be Thustra from "JEDI. YODA"

    Anyway I enjoy most of them.

    "This is turning into quite the Quin/Jan/John free love-fest...but I'm afraid I'll have to join in. Make room."

    Hmm, not sure Kahleen would be too happy about that ;)
    I'm also joining in, but adding Kahleen in there too, she isn't in them enough, what about her working with Tholme? Is she still reporting to him? hopefully she'll be in the 3 coming up.

    All the Clone Wars related comics, they've been simply amazing. Quin gets the nod for favorite character, because his story has been the best part of the comics.

    I'll have to chime in with another vote for the Ostrander/Duursema/Quin Republic run.

    I was never really into comics until I read those.

    I am a fan of the Star Wars Tales series :) My favorite characters are Quinlan Vos and Aayla Secura from the Republic series, although I suppose Aayla is no longer considered EU since she's in the movies...LOL
