Star Wars: Invasion is the next ongoing comic book series from Dark Horse..

It stars most Jedi from the New Jedi Order as they fight the Vong..


It will also focus on Finn Galfridian who aids in the fight against them


Thoughts? Opinions?

Lord Lucien
But.. we've already had a set of books where they fight the Vong! God!

Publius II
Kyle Katarn FTW.

And finally the comics shift to post-RotJ. As much as I despise the current layout of just about everything SW, that makes me somewhat happy.

Exactly, we already had our fill of the Vong and how the Jedi screwed up. I'm looking forward to the Jaden Korr novel and of course still reading the Kotor comic, which has changed pace but still maintains that sense of adventure.

I'm tired of the Vong - they were defeated. Move on to another enemy.

Not sure how I feel about this, but it is nice that they're taking a step towards the post-ROTJ but not the far-flung-future-post-ROTJ.

Numa Numa is frying my brain.

I think I have a headache, because my brain has been fried by Numa Numa.

Edit: Also, stop being invisible. You're not nearly badass enough to pull that off anymore; the sweet irony of an invisible "Tangible God" made it awesome before.

Agreed.

Allankles:

Aye, looking forward to Jaden Korr, still working my way through LoTF at the moment however.

Kazenji
Well i suppose its good for those that have'nt read any of the New Jedi Order novels, Such as i.

Morridini
Great news imo, the NJO era contains a lot of potential, hopefuly a comic can give us some other PoV's, now if someone would just go on and make a game set in the NJO era it would be complete.

BruceSkywalker
the first issue comes out tomorrow..

i will post some scans

Captain REX
I will withhold my judgement until I read the first couple issues, to see if it takes us anywhere interesting. Apparently the first story arch has a shitload of Luke Skywalker.

he looks like he's in his thirties. erm

Eminence
He's only in his mid-forties. Han Solo supposedly has a healthy 120 to look forward to, and Luke is a Jedi... it makes sense.

searching......
blah

Incanus
Where did u find out about the Jaden Korr novel???? I SO WANT THAT!!!! Jaden Korr rules. Revan quintuple pwns. Bane quadruple pwns. Plageuis triple pwns. Vader double pwns. Zannah pwns. Sidious dosnt pwn at all.......... =-l

Captain REX
Well, first issue opened with a bang.

I liked that they tied Caled (the King of Artorias) back to the Rebellion, mentioning his fighting days and all that. Just a neat reference there, since people are young enough to have fought in that war.

Good timing on Luke's part.

BruceSkywalker
i liked the second issue...

... nothing i have seen points to the vong being superior soldiers to clones or even stormtroopers... they use spears and snakes for christs sake...

truejedi
an ampistaff can hardly be called a spear. Did the clones carry anything that could block a lightsaber?

BruceSkywalker
as requested..

well a stick made out of the proper materials can withstand a lightsaber.

however the scans reinforce my belief that any army dumb enough to engage a jedi in CQC isnt smart enough to call itself an army...

giant worms and snakes with 5 foot attack ranges fail to impress me honestly. no expression

Lord Lucien
Giant worms... huh?

Yeah I know: why don't the X-wings shoot from very far out instead of circling around the slug? And the slug shouldn't be able to hit the X-wings; the X-wings should be nothing more than a blur.

Hey idk if you guys have seen this, but its pretty funny. I saw it like 3 yrs ago

LOL yeah I saw that before, so funny!

REXXXX
Pretty much super off-topic, there...

I think you're being a bit critical of the Vong. They were never the coolest villains (not in my books) but they are intended to be skilled and difficult for Jedi to fight because the Jedi cannot sense their movements and they possess highly resistant weapons and armor. The slug catching the X-Wing was pretty damn awesome, though. If you're going to nitpick, maybe it has some sort of extrasensory natural ability that allowed it to do that?

BruceSkywalker
not much happened...
