Summary:  "Ania Solo is just a girl trying to make her way in the galaxy—and have a little adventure along the way!

Collects Star Wars: Legacy #1–#5—Prisoner of the Floating World."

 

Review:   I had a hard time with this one. I think a lot of it has to do with the time jump. This jumps up over 100 years from the last known books and characters I had previously read. This really threw me. For the first part of the story I had no idea the time setting. This book just jumps right in, not really expaining anything of what is going on on the planet or galaxy in general. I almost stopped for that alone but being this was Star Wars I was determined to continue.

Summary:   "In the wake of the Death Star's destruction, the Empire seems to anticipate and thwart all moves by the struggling Rebel Alliance - which smells like a spy among the ranks. Princess Leia forms a stealth squadron of her best pilots - including Luke Skywalker - to expose the spy and find the Alliance a safe home. In another part of the galaxy, Han Solo and Chewbacca are on their own mission for the Rebels, but that, too, has been betrayed to the Empire. And, over all, Darth Vader watches..."


Review:  For a Star Wars Comic this was better than several others I have read recently. The Dark Horse Star Wars Comics have always been a favorite but I am an old-school-style comic fan so most comics these days seem to be lacking in my opinion. The comic has the Dark Horse creativity but does seem to have some more modern comic touches. A nice blend for all ages of fans.

Summary:  "Valeros the warrior can rely on his sword arm and his friends - the mysterious and beautiful sorcerer Seoni, the quick-witted elven rogue Merisiel, knowledgeable and powerful wizard Ezren, the well-traveled dwarven ranger Harsk, and courageous cleric Kyra - but nothing can prepare him for the dangers that lurk ahead. The scattered and chaotic goblin tribes of Varisia are changing, growing in power, and unifying in ways no one has ever seen before. At the heart of this strange evolution is an ancient evil force looking to establish itself anew in the world of Golarion.
