Last month or so, Marvel unveiled the Marvel Years
Omnibus, which contained decades old issues from the publisher. Now it's time
for Star Wars to get a similar treatment.
Marvel Comics has announced the Star Wars Legends Epic
Collection: The Empire Vol.1, which features reprints of Dark Horse material.
Let
the dark times begin! Marvel welcomes Star Wars to the Epic Collection program,
with this first volume of a series focusing on the years that follow Star Wars:
Episode III Revenge of the Sith! After the end of the Clone Wars, the Republic
has fallen and Palpatine exerts his ruthless grip on his new Galactic Empire.
Now, the few Jedi that remain must decide whether to hold true to their faith,
or abandon it completely in the face of a brutal purge — one carried out by the
new Dark Lord of the Sith. Rise, Darth Vader!
“We’re
thrilled to be bringing our innovative Epic Collections to a galaxy far, far
away,” says Marvel SVP sales & marketing David Gabriel. “We’ll be bouncing
around to different periods of Star Wars history with each Epic Collection,
constructing one huge tapestry, collecting full unbroken runs of all the
greatest Star Wars comics from the past 35 years.”
“Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Empire Vol. 1″
will include Star Wars: Republic 78-80, Star Wars: Purge – Seconds to Die 1, Star Wars: Purge –
The Hidden Blade 1, Star Wars: Purge – The Tyrant’s First 1-2, Star Wars: Darth
Vader and the Lost Command 1-5
and star Wars: Dark Times 1 -5.
