Marvel's Star Wars comic is starting next month, so with a heavy heart we say goodbye to Dark Horse's comics. It's a real goodbye too: a few will get republished, but after December 31st you'll no longer be able to buy Dark Horse's Star Wars line, even the digital stuff will be pulled off from shelves.

Any thoughts on this?

It sucks but im looking forward to seeing what Marvel can do with SW.

I kind of forget about this happening. Has Marvel said who might be writing?

I envy your optimism, there is something about current Marvel comics I can't get into. I have no clue what will happen in the future tho.

@dragonborn_ct: im just hoping for the best. When i did read the news on this topic my jaw dropped. Since the selling of Star Wars to Disney, and then months later Dark Horse is told SW is now marvel sorry and good luck. I have come to the idea the SW move to marvel is not in the best interest of comic.

Their CW series (Republic I believe) was the best take on the whole Clone Wars storyline, by far. I really enjoyed reading those. They just really captured the whole dramatic essence of the war, and they stayed true to all the characters.

The 2008 TV series just molested everything about the CW.

Republic is fantastic.

I'm going to stay optimistic too, I loved the Boba Fett series Dark Horse published, but hopefully with Marvel they'll be able to put out more regular stuff- which was one of the downsides with Dark Horse.

Anyone know what'll happen to Digital Comics from Daark Horse if they're not publishing anymore? I just remember a horror story a while back where people couldn't access Digital comics through a distributor who went broke...

They will be pulled from the Digital store. You have 10 days to buy stuff.

Dark horse did some really quality stuff over the years, It would be a great shame for that to completely disappear in the shadow of the new Marvel cannon, regardless of what quality of standard of it turns out to be.

I'll miss all the great comics that they produce. I am optimistic about the future and hope that Marvel present a lot of great stories to come.

The KOTOR comics series by John Jackson Miller were amazing. It was actually a much better constructed prequel storyline than the filmed prequels
