Upcoming Dark Horse TPBs

I couldn't find Dark Horse TPB release dates at either their site or our release thread . . . unless I've gone nuts. Can anyone tell me the release dates for the coming year, or link me to the yellow brick road. I'm looking in particular for The Ahakista Gambit, Legacies and KOTORs. Thanks.

 

January and February 2008*

February 06, 2008: Star Wars: Legacy Volume 2-Shards

February 13, 2008: Star Wars: Rebellion Volume 2-The Ahakista Gambit TPB

*Disclaimer

 

Thanks. Feb for Legacy 2. I'm guessing midyear for Leg 3. I didn't think to check the horse forum, but that would be dangerous.

 

Ex - they're on the Lit upcoming release date thread as well. In a hideous green color that you have to highlight to read or your eyes will burn off.

 

Ah. I misread the green as something else. Thought it was strange that listing didn't have TPBs.

 

Quite right. It can be dangerous. It is one site that can mess with your head if you let it.

 

January 16 through February 13 is going to be one awesome month for trade-waiters like me.

 

Just checked that link. Shards and Ahakista together, this is great. Hey, how come Legacy Broken is getting hardcovered? The softer TPB is still less than a year old? Was this is a good decision?

 

Can someone tell me if Marvel's RoTJ adaption is reprinted in the big Omnibus editions that DH did of the original series, or was it done seperately?

I seem to remember that RoTJ was done as a seperate mini-series but I thought ESB was built into the main series itself.

I could be wrong though.

If it is in the classic SW phonebook editions, which volume would I find it in?

 

I'm sure I've seen the adaptation, specifically called that too, as a separate print.

 

The only Marvel comics included in the phone book editions are SW #'s 1-107 (which include ANH and TESB adaptations) as well as the 3 Annuals. Rotj was not produced as a part of that series, it was a separate miniseries and thus not included in the "A Long Time Ago..." or "Phone Books editions. It (ROTJ) has been reprinted on it's own by DH in various other TPB's however

 

Ah. I wasn't aware the hardcovers were small print runs. Looks like they're hardening a little from all areas of the timeline.

 

I still find DH's choices for some of the 30th Anniversary collection to be somewhat strange. Some stories are so-so (Jedi vs. Sith), some seemed like minor stories (Jango, Zam, Maul), and some of the reprints still have the regular editions out on bookstore shelves (the Clone Wars and Empire TPBs). I still wish they would've chosen something like Redemption to reprint.

I'll probably get the Union (despite the so-so story) and Legacy (despite owning the regular version) 30th Anniversary TPBs just for collecting purposes. A question for those who own any of the 30th Anniversary- how's the quality of the hardcovers, especially compared to the regular TPBs? Any extras compared to the original printings?

 

Fixed.

 

Thanks for the fix, Hav. It's so silly how so many people get those two confused.

 

Jedi vs. Sith is considered the greatest EU ever written?

 

On a different note, does anyone think Dark Horse is doing too much at once? Or is this in fact a sly good thing: artists from different series arcs now have more time to scribe and paint, with longer spans between TPBs. Or am I wrong?
