B.B.Y., but it seems unlikely that so little time has passed between the death of Gav and Jori’s parents and the main story arc. This date is doubtlessly meant as a rounding off.

THE FREEDON NADD UPRISING #1, 2 Tom Veitch Omnibus Volume 2 Every time the spirit of Freedon Nadd shows up “in a flash of blue fire,” he looks suspiciously yellow.

Tom Veitch Knights of the Old Republic Omnibus Volume 1 Different artists are bound to interpret the same characters differently. But Nomi Sunrider manages to go from a slight, plain woman to a glamorous Amazon in just a couple of issues. I checked, and surely enough, the first artist was a woman, the second, a man. (For the record, I preferred the first—one gets tired of the silicone bombshells so popular in today’s graphic novels.) In later issues, she has something of a Linda Hamilton-meets-Geena Davis quality. “JEDI PROTECTOR” Peter Schweighofer The Star Wars Galaxy Magazine #13 “RUINS OF KABUS-DABEH” Peter Schweighofer 5 DARK LORDS OF THE SITH 3994 B.B.Y.

WAR #1-5 John Jackson Miller For some reason at this point in Dark Horse Comics’ publishing schedule, the series Knights of the Old Republic and Legacy both started with a new numbering slate, each series to be 8 self-contained (not unlike the old Tales of the “CZERKA 431” Jedi). The reasons for this are a little obscure to me, but perhaps even more inexplicable is Sterling Hershey why they should choose to name each reboot arc “War.” “ONDERON CUTOFF” “PERMANENT DEMOTION” Sterling Hershey Sterling Hershey 3960 B.B.Y.
