The Last Star Wars Comic Packs

[Prowl_2009]

Well they came a little earlier than I thought, but here they are, the Exclusive Comic 2-packs for 2010!

The first will be an exclusive at this year's 2010 Comic Con and will feature Owen Lars and a half cyborg Darth Maul packaged with a reprint of Dark Horse's Star Wars: Visionary comic.

The second, which I had originally thought was also going to be avilable at Comic Con, will actually be avilable in August at Celebration V and will feature Camie and Fixer and a reprint of Star Wars: Empire #8. Interestingly, Camie and Fixer were supposed to appear originally in a cut scene from A New Hope where you find out a bit more about Luke's life growing up on Tatoonie.

Those deleted scenes are very available for viewing on youtube.

Yep, seen them many times.

To be honest, neither of these two exclusives are really doing it for me, I have no desire to add a half mechanical Darth Maul to my collection and, while the Camie and Fixer set is both interesting and intriguing all at the same time, I'd rather grab some of the sets being released through Entertainment Earth first and foremost, especially the planned Jester Mareel and Mantros set!

One thought on the Fixer pack would be to pick it up and get Anthony Forrest to sign it. He does a lot of convention appearances in the Toronto area.

This is true and was actually one of the reasons I was thinking of, at some point, picking the set up. Like I said, while the Maul / Lars pack is just meh to me, the Camie / Fixer set is at least both interesting and intriguing.

With Comic-Con 2010 just around the corner, I've posted some up-to-date images of the exclusive Visionaries comic pack being offered at the convention, including shots of its rather attractive packaging.

Enjoy!

Comic-Con is almost here and Celebration V isn't too far behind. Here are some more up-to-date pictures of the Empire #8 Comic Pack, featuring Camie Marstrap and Laze "Fixer" Loneozner, which will be offered at the convention....

Check it out everyone! We have our first picture of the Jaster Mereel and Montross comic 2-pack being released this November through online retailer Entertainment Earth!!!

The sculpts and paint look phenomenal! I am especially impressed with young Montross, Hasbro did an amazing job taking a few years off the look of this Mando'a when we last saw him in the Star Wars: Bounty Hunter game from 2003.

Can't wait to get my hands on this bad boy!

More pics of the SDCC Exclusive Visionaries Comic 2-pack featuring Darth Maul and Owen Lars...

According to the write-up for this comic, Maul returns from the dead to hunt down Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Jedi who destroyed his life and the Lars homestead becomes a battle ground for the forces of good and evil when Owen is forced to pit himself against the Sith Lord in an effort to protect his young nephew, Luke Skywalker.

Now that is one kick-ass write up!
