Not much love for ye ol' Marvel Star Wars?  ;)  I got your back, Tamer. Back in the day, I used to go to the bookstore every month (SW issues were published monthly here in Holland, combining 3-4 weekly issues) and buy the latest issue. There are some pretty good stories and story arcs in the Marvel SW verse, creating some great characters and developing the  characters of the movies.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Dark Horse years. Dark Horse created an wonderful Expanded Universe and wasn't afraid to go eons from the timeframe of the movies. Like Marvel, Dark Horse also created great new characters and events.

While I'm sad to see Dark Horse 'lose' the franchise, I welcome Marvel back. I'm very anxious to find out what they come up with and how Dark Horse will say goobye to SW.

I agree Remco, we ought to see some great new stories. Hopefully a few can get made in action figure form too.

I haven't bought comics since I was a teen, but the Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir series pulled me back in.  I'm looking forward to what Marvel may cover next.

I haven't bought SW comics in awhile, but I will admit that new six issue Firefly series sneaked home somehow.
