Skywalker's Successors Face Fierce Fight in Dark Horse’s Star Wars: Invasion - Rescue #1

Dark Horse Comics’ Star Wars: Invasion – Rescues #1 (MAR100079D, $2.99) launches a new era in Star Wars comics and presents a galaxy far, far away under siege!

The close alliance between Dark Horse and Lucasfilm has dramatically expanded the scope of George Lucas’s movie universe, bringing dedicated fans of the franchise new tales from its past, present, and future. Written by Tom Taylor with art by Colin Wilson & Wes Dzioba, this epic adventure in the classic Star Wars tradition is set 25 years after the Battle of Yavin, and ties into and fits between Del Rey's 19-book New Jedi Order series.

The Yuuzhan Vong invasion spreads death and destruction across the galaxy, leaving behind ravaged worlds with little hope of survival. Artorias, homeworld of the Galfridian family, lies in the path of the Yuuzhan Vong armada – and now, though separated, Finn, Kaye, Nina, and Caled work to fight the invaders with the hope that one day they will again be together on their peaceful planet.

Available now, the 40-page, full-color first issue picks up immediately following events presented in Dark Horse's in-stock Star Wars: Invasion TP Vol. 1 – Refugees (JAN100192V, $18.99; click here for a three-page preview).

Having toppled the Galactic Empire and the Sith, the Jedi and the galaxy face their first real threat: an invasion of hostile warriors called the Yuuzhan Vong. The forces of the New Republic and the New Jedi Order stand ready to face the invaders, but even Luke Skywalker has never seen a species like this.

In the middle of the turmoil is Artorias, a peaceful planet squarely in the path of the alien armada, and home to Prince Finn Galfridian. Separated from his family by the invasion’s events, he begins to follow a path that will lead him into danger -- and to his destiny – in this 144-page, full-color collection of Star Wars: Invasion #1–#5 and #0.
