Kerra Holt ventures near the dark side on an incredibly important — and personal — mission in Star Wars: Knight Errant – Escape, launching this June. And IO9 has the first exclusive details about the series! This is easily the best — and darkest — Knight Errant arc yet, and it gives us the long-awaited showdown with Lord Odion — but it’s not quite as anyone might have imagined, as …
Some sort of video game goes on sale this week, or so I’m told — oh, yeah! That Mass Effect 3! And as noted here on the site in the past, I’ve scripted a couple of graphic novels that can supply some supporting information: Mass Effect: Evolution and Mass Effect: Invasion. Evolution is available now, while Invasion ships soon. (Cover of the Invasion collection is at right.) Also, the Collector’s …
And it’s out! Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith #8: Secrets can now be downloaded from Amazon. The Amazon link is here and Random House has links to other formats here, but I caution that historically these do not all go up for download at the same time, so please check again if something isn’t out yet.

The Amazon link is here and Random House has links to other formats here, but I caution that historically these do not all go up for download at the same time, so please check again if something isn’t out yet.

I was saddened to read of the passing of Ralph McQuarrie this evening. There are many remembrances on Facebook and Twitter, as there should be; his artwork helped make Star Wars into what we know and love. I prized my copies of The Art of Star Wars and The Art of The Empire Strikes Back as a kid — they were my first real chance to see a lot of …
Production notes and trivia for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – War #2 are now online, and there are some insights into trying to write characters who (mostly) all dress the same, as well as the fun little connection I mentioned between a character in this series and a story from the past. (I never said it was a story from the comics. Heh!) I also have a …
Zayne Carrick has pretended to be a Mandalorian many times — but now he’s been captured by the Mandalorians and pressed into service. Drafted by two different armies in the same month? For Zayne, that’s part for the course! And you can check it out in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – War #2, now on sale at your local comic book purveyor’s emporium! With #2, we learn …
And Wednesday finds the final chapter of Mass Effect: Invasion on your comics retailer’s shelf! It’s a pretty big moment in the Mass Effect universe, determining the future of the Omega space station and setting up events for Mass Effect 3. Issue #4 has two variant covers, one from Massimo Carnevale and the other from Paul Renaud. I’m dreadfully behind in posting production notes on the Mass Effect titles, but …
Catch-up work is continuing on the site. In the wake of the posting of the production notes for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – War #1 the other day, I now have posted the notes for the final two issues of another series: Star Wars: Knight Errant – Deluge #4 and Star Wars: Knight Errant – Deluge #5. I don’t normally get a full month behind on Star …

But while it is fresh in my mind, I have posted the production notes and trivia for Knights of the Old Republic – War #1. Click the link to find them. My …
