Mild spoilers below. This month’s issue of The Star Wars is the print-version of deja vu. There is much in this story that will make you think, “… this seems familiar”, because you can start seeing more of how the final version of Star Wars: A New Hope came into being from this first draft. Case in point: this issue contains a huge space battle. It’s no surprise. First, it’s Star Wars – of course there’s a space battle. Second, the previews from Dark Horse showed it. What’s interesting about this battle is that it’s obviously the Rebels vs. the Death Star from the

I’m a sucker for a story that starts out with our protagonist caught in the middle of some mess then then flashes back to show how she/he got into said mess. (See: “Alias”, Mission Impossible: 3, numerous other shows and stories.) That being said, this is how Brain Boy #1 starts: I love it. Right away we see our hero — for lack of a better word — strapped to a chair, guns pointed at him, and he says he has his enemies where he wants them? Fred Van Lente doesn’t waste time hooking us with what appears to be an implausible statement. Of

Harvey Award winner Bryan J. L. Glass brings his creator-owned superhero to Dark Horse Comics! SEPTEMBER 6, BALTIMORE, MD—Writer Bryan J. L.
