This seriies focuses on the heroes of the OT ( Luke, Leah, Han, ..etc) just after the events of Episode IV ( A new hope). The rebels are on the run, but still trying to fight back. The story is very engaging, and a lot of fun. I must say, I really like the dramatic tone of the series. Dark Horse liked to tell more dark or mature Star Wars story, and even though I appreciated this, I am glad that this series is geared to a much more broad readership. This series does not “kiddify” the Star Wars Saga, but embodies the fun adventure that makes Star Wars so enjoyable to so many people.

The story does a good job of staying within the Canon and continuity, but still delivers a creative story line, that is very engaging. This series has made one very significant contribution to the Star Wars canon, but I won’t spoil it. On top of all of this, this series is a great stepping in point for those who never read or followed the Dark Horse Star Wars comics.

Overall, I am really impressed with this series, and would recommend it to any Star Wars or comics fan.
