Star Wars: Invasion

This weekend at the New York Comic Con, Dark Horse announced details of the project Tom Taylor and I have been working on since the middle of last year. Invasion is a new Star Wars series, and the first book of our first 5-issue story arc is scheduled for publication by Dark Horse Comics this July. Two 8-page "prequels" to launch the new series will go online at www.starwars.com in May and June.

Invasion, set 25 years after the Battle of Yarvin (just in case you wanted to know!) introduces the readers to the Galfridian family, and the peace-loving planet of Artoria.
