Why no Darkhorse NJO comics?

If the NJO is so popular (heck even my local bookstore puts out a huge display case whenever a new book comes out), why haven't there been "any" comics set in the NJO? We've had comics in Pre Prequel Trilogy, Prequel Trilogy, Origional Trilogy and New Republic eras. But not a single comic in the NJO. It makes no sense, if the NJO warents it's own timeframe in the Star Wars universe, why not expand it further? What gives? I'd definately buy them and they would have the potential to be outstanding. Just imagine the Twilight and Darkness teams doing NJO comics *drools*.

 

Well, there was one NJO comic, 'Chewbacca', but no more beyond it.

 

behind-the-scenes politicking may be the reason.

 

I think they waited until TTT was finished before starting with the comics. There still may be some NJO comics! I personally can't wait for them if they do come into existance. It would answer a lot of questions about what certain characters look like and it would just be fun to see how someone else saw the action.

Probably Del Rey doesn't want to confuse the fans. Chewbacca was made because you don't need to read i tin order to enjoy the NJO. I don't think we'll see a comic on the level of Dark Empire for awhile simply because Del Rey wants to keep the NJO "in house". I can't say I blame them.

 

There are many good characters that would work great if used in a comic. And its not as if there arent the chances.

Take the end of JE. You had Kyp, Ganner and the Dozen together. Two active Jedi, and snubs. Theycould have done a great series there, with a mix of Tales of the Jedi and X-Wing. They could have shown what happened on Kubaz. They'd basically have up until Rebirth(Kyp is away from Ganner then. They could still be working together in Rebirth). So, that is, what, 2 months + BP + 2 months + Conquest + 2 months, if my maths is correct. A lot could have gone on there, and a lot of pleased fans would have been buying. Oh well.

 

Plus, Dark Horse has really sucked lately, so I wouldn't wamt an inferior product. I'll wait until they get things straightened out with their new editor and get some plans set up.

Up, this is very important.

 

They could be waiting for HC5 before they start any comics.

 

That shouldn't stop them from making comics set during already released books. The potential for "off screen" adventures is off the chart. Any sort of action/adventure story line you could do. Star Fighter pilots, Jedi, Ground Troops, Bounty Hunters etc...

 

It shoudn't, Anakin, but it could be.

I'd like to see more from the Great River, like EOTV, and also how Corran and others evaded voxyn on different places.
