Star Wars: Invasion #1 Reviewed, Yes, A Star Wars Comic

G-Man looks at the first issue of a new Star Wars Series.

I really like Star Wars.  I can even forgive some of the newer stuff since it's at least some more Star Wars content.  There was a request that we review a Star Wars comic.  I thought the first issue of this new series would be the perfect one to review.  This comic takes place about twenty-five years after the Battle of Yavin.  We also see the first comic appearance of the Yuuzhan Vong.  Yuuzhan who?  They're a race of space bastards that really caused a lot of problems in the recent New Jedi Order stories in the novels.  How does this new series rate?  Is it worth getting?

 

So what do you think?  Do you read and enjoy the Star Wars comics?  Have you read about the Yuuzhan Vong's invasion?  Do you think Star Wars translates well into comics?

Try jumping into the comics. This series wasn't particularly interesting, but series like Legacy, KOTOR and Dark Times are excelent.

Dude, Legacy is the best Star Wars comic series in the world. Review Legacy rather than Invasion. Legacy = Pwnage.

I dont think it fair to directly blame the Vong for Chewies death, I mean he died to save Anakin due to the life debt he owed Han, so blame one of them lol.

If they plan on keeping things consistent, it could be good.  Dark Empire is a good read for right after Return of the Jedi.  This obviously jumps some years after but perhaps they'll tell more of the story during this time period.  Star Wars Tales told some of the story.  Star Wars: Chewbacca was a mini-series that tells his life story, including his death/sacrifice.  It looks like it's still in print (eleven bucks at amazon).

Cool, thanks, I'll check some of these out

This series is going to be great, I love the "New Jedi Order" there are lot of new faces to see especially the new generation of Jedi, like Han and Leia kids Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin, Chewie's son Lowbacca, and even Leia wielding a lightsaber (who some refer to as Lady Vader do to her red lightsaber and her dad being Vader). I have real high hopes for this series not to mention Jo chen is doing the covers, Joy!

I bought this comic( first SW comic I ever bought), because of the luke skywalker bit on the cover, I'm a huge fan of the movies, but i feel like there is way to much post revenge of the jedi history now, and I feel completely lost, so I doubt I'll pick up anymore of these, and yeah I didn't know freakin chewie was dead either, that shows you how lost I am

You go G-Man! Star Wars all the way! I think I'm going to like Finn Galfridian. I just feel sad I didn't saw Mara Jade on the expected character list.
