Republic #58: Battle of Jabiim, part 4: Floodgates Discussion (Spoiler Allowed)

Star Wars: Republic #58 The Battle of Jabiim (Part 4 of 4)

By: Haden Blackman, Brian Ching
Cover Artist: Thomas Giorello
Genre: Science-Fiction, Star Wars


The planet Jabiim is falling to the Separatists, and the final command rests on the shoulder's of Anakin Skywalker. Obi-Wan is missing in action, and all of Anakin's fellow Jedi are dead. The honorable thing to do would be to fight to the last man--or clone--alongside the loyalist Jabiimi. The smart thing would be to live to fight another day, save as many of his remaining troops as possible and retreat.

Will Anakin listen to his heart, or his head? Should he die a hero, or survive to become a general? And which decision is the right one? Is there a "right" choice?

It's on the shipping list

 

About bloody time.

The storyline I'm looking forward to, though, is this arc's entrée into the "captive Obi-Wan (and Alpha)" tale that -- finally -- will be seeing the light of day, soonish.

 

At last!

December 29 will be a day much enjoyed. I have collected Jedi Dooku & Empire 13, it will see the collection of Empire 14 and now it will see the picking up of Republic 58!

(Right I estimate I'll have £20 of comics to pick up easy! :0 )

Now I reckon we get 59 & 60 in Jan, 61 & 62 in Feb and 63 can resume the schedule in March and Republic becomes a monthly!

Umm, naw, scratch that last bit, wishful thinking...but I can hope can't I?

Wait, when did we get to the humor/fan fic section of the JC??



Let's hope to God that DH's publication schedule gets back on track in 2004. These stories and artwork are too good to be delayed like this.

 

hey... it's supposed to arrive this week, according to my local store... so in this case the ship date's probably not fiction.

 

Or can it?

 

It's on Diamond's shipping list for December 17

 

Ooo, looks good. Can't wait to see how the Jabiim arc ends!

 

Finally! Bout dang time!

 

Finally! I have been waiting for this issue for a long time. Can't wait to read it.

 

what was the original release date for this issue?

 

So it's out now?

 

Tomorrow.

I won't be getting it until Thurs because I'm going straight to RotK after work tomorrow

 

you're not seeing ROTK tonight? what's wrong with you? heh.. then again, i'm not seeing it tonight either.

 

I'm going tonight too

 

I would go tonight but my brother decided that he didn't want to call in sick to work tomorrow. Wuss.

 

I'd love to go tonight, but I'll wait until tomorrow afternoon when everyone is at work. I LOVE college winter break!

 

I'm seeing it tomorrow night, on the weekend with the girlfriend, and on Monday I'm having my own Trilogy Day by watching FotR and TTT on DVD first, then going to the theatre for RotK

Probably see it at least twice more after that.

 

I should do that...

 

Seeing ROTK Sunday evening, after a day of watching the extended FOTR and TTT.

 

It's coming out?!? Woohoo!

 

I prefer to wait a couple weeks, when the cinema is largely empty and there's no one to annoy you. Like those ratlings who decided to sit in front of me and smooooch the entire movie.

Oops, did my leg bump your seat? Oh sorry, I did it again?
