Star Wars Omnibus: A long Time Ago Volume 5 collection finishes up the remainder of the “Marvel” comics run on the Star Wars franchise. It collects issues
86 -107 as if these traded collections of one of the worlds greatest franchises needed to be sold on. First off, to get your tastes buds going, this set houses what some fans would argue as unique in the Star Wars Mythology characters (that would never have existed outside the realm of comics) are all here. The lover affair of Han and Leia continue and we even get Lando acting as cool as the other side of the pillow. Boba Fett and many of the films back characters are also very well represented.

If there is a negative, it would be these collected issues were published in the early 80s and sometimes the art doesn’t resemble the actors themselves. But if that’s a complaint then there’s truly no reason to fret. If you are a die hard Star Wars fan, then you need this trade. If your just finding out about Star Wars, go and grab all the trades and read them with simple enjoyment. On a scale of Alderaan and Death Star this is 7 energy beam blasts out of 10. (and Boom goes Alderaan)

DARK HORSE ANNOUNCES THE BIGGEST FREE COMIC BOOK DAY EVER!

FOUR GREAT STORIES, TWO AMAZING BOOKS,

ONE HECK OF A SATURDAY!

 

Dark Horse rolls out the announcement of all four titles that will be featured in two different comics to be given away to thousands of fans on May 5, 2012.

First comes a special flip book featuring both Felicia Day’s gaming web series turned comic, The Guild, and Dark Horse’s best-selling comics continuation of Joss Whedon’s iconic television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer! Buffy has never needed a vacation as badly as she does now, with the world overrun with zompires and other fallout from Season 8. After an old friend suggests a relaxing getaway from all things that go bump in the night, it turns out to be harder than she could ever expect for a Slayer to get a day off!

Felicia Day, creator of The Guild, continues to bring on the funny with high jinks from her diverse group of gamers when the Guildies struggle to find a meeting place they can all agree on. A little in-game battle becomes the deciding factor, and the circle follows the decree of the winner: the beach?!

Next up is one of the biggest flip books we’ve ever published, when Zack Whedon brings you tales of the coolest guy in the galaxy and the most charming rebel in the ’verse! That’s right; we’ve paired Star Wars with Joss Whedon’s Serenity! 

Han Solo and Chewbacca have a falling-out after a deal with their slickest—and shadiest—customer goes bad. But when the client gets designs on the Millennium Falcon, Han and Chewie present a united front that can’t be beat!

Meanwhile, Captain Malcolm “Mal” Reynolds is no stranger to jobs gone wrong himself. But when the chips are down, he’s able to rely on the amazing, odd, and diversely talented crew of Serenity.

Dark Horse Free Comic Book Day 2012: Four great stories for the price of, well, none!
