A look at what lies ahead from Dark Horse Comics.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars #3 (of 6) Written by Henry Gilory; Pencils and cover by Lucas Marangon; Inks by Dan Parsons. On sale December 10. 40 pages.

Eighty million Togruta from the planet of Kiros have suddenly disappeared! It's up to Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Togruta Padawan Ahsoka Tano to find the lost population. A clue leads the Jedi to the Zygerria system: massive slave auctions have been held there in the past, and will be taking place again soon -- with the unfortunate Togruta on the auction block!

This new series is a complement to Lucasfilm's highly anticipated CGI-animated Star Wasr: The Clone Wars television series!



Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #36 "Prophet Motive" Part 1 (of 2) Written by John Jackson Miller; Illustrated by Bong Dazo; Colors by Michael Atiyeh; Cover by Dan Scott. On sale December 24. 40 pages.

The beginning of a whole new era for loner Jedi Zayne Carrick launches our clever, clumsy hero, his con-artist best friend Gryph, and the bold Jarael into the kind of seat-of-your-pants adventure only Star Wars can provide! The perfect starting point for new readers, this story kicks off the next phase in Zayne's life with a long-shot swindle gone wrong! Gryph's got a plan to part some shady-dealing Chev from their unjustly earned credits, but he'll need more than a disguise to protect him when they catch on to his game!



Star Wars: Legacy #31 "Vector" Part 12 (of 12) Written by John Ostrander; Pencils and cover by Jan Duursema; Inks by Dan Parsons; Colors by Brad Anderson. On sale December 31. 40 pages.

It is Jedi vs. Sith, and Sith vs. Sith in this, the conclusion to "Vector" -- the year-long event that has shaken the galaxy, shattered lives, and brought about new beginnings ends here! Darth Krayt may finally be captured and defeated in the trap set by Cade Skywalker and Jedi Master of old Celeste Morne. But Emperor Krayt might no longer be the most powerful Sith lord in the galaxy. Will Cade and Celeste have another Sith to defeat... or join?



Star Wars: Legacy Volume 5 Written by John Ostrander; Pencils and cover by Jan Duursema; Inks by Dan Parsons; Colors by Brad Anderson. On sale February 25. 104 pages.

Cade Skywalker just wants to be left alone. But when you and your friends have just blown up half of the Sith Temple, cut down two of Emperor Darth Krayt's most trusted minions, and you happen to be the last known heir of the Skywalker legacy, people -- bad people, and lots of them -- are going to come knocking.

The Empire's retaliatory genocide on Mon Calamari is just the icing on the cake. Cade and his bounty-hunter band realize that something must be done! If only there was somebody to help Cade save the galaxy and get the Sith off his back. Maybe a bunch of Jedi?

The secrets of the Hidden Temple are revealed -- along with a spy who was once a friend!



Indiana Jones Ombnibus: The Further Adventures Volume 1 Featuring the work of Walt Simons, John Byrne, Denny O'Neil, David Michelinie, Archie Goodwin, John Buscema, Howard Chaykin, Klaus Janson, Terry Austin and more. On sale February 18. 368 pages.

Join comics luminaries in the very first appearances of the esteemed professor on the comic-book page! Weighing in at a hefty three hundred and sixty-eight pages, this tome collects the first twelve issues of the 1980s ongoing series -- along with the adaptation of Raiders of the Lost Ark -- for the very first time. And David Michelinie, the writer who would go on to pen most of Indy's four-color adventures, begins his imaginative run here! Fans of the films won't want to miss these classic tales that extend the Indiana Jones mythos beyond the silver screen. This is the first modern collection of material originally published by Marvel!

Indiana Jones and the Tomb of the Gods Written by Rob Williams; Penciled by Steve Scott; Inks by Nathan Massengill; Colors by Michael Atiyeh; Cover by Tony Harris. On sale February 11. 120 pages

When a group of preeminent archaeologists discovers a prehistoric map to an ancient tomb, they have no idea that they will spend the rest of their lives making sure that it does not fall into the wrong hands. Now, with Nazis hot on their trail, they entrust Indiana Jones with the map and a cryptic warning: "Some mysteries are best left undiscovered." Indy knows that he has to keep the artifact out of the hands of the Nazis, but are his motivations truly altruistic or has he let his curiosity cloud his perspective?

It's a race around the globe as Indiana Jones attempts to stop a group of Hitler's Nazi elite from harnessing an ancient power of unrivaled destructive force that has been hidden for millennia in the mysterious Tomb of the Gods!
