Star Wars - Dawn Of the Jedi #0 & #1 To Be Reprinted!
STAR WARS™: DAWN OF THE JEDI #0 AND #1
TO BE REPRINTED FOLLOWING RETAIL
SELLOUT!
MARCH 5, MILWAUKIE, OR—Retailers around the country are sold
out of the first two issues of Dark Horse’s recently launched Star Wars series,
the highly anticipated Dawn of the Jedi!
It was announced today, following an outcry from retailers
and fans alike, that the company will reprint both of these landmark issues in
limited quantities, to be shipped from Diamond on March 7, with an on-sale date
of March 21.
Reuniting the powerhouse creative team of John Ostrander and
Jan Duursema, Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi offers fans their first
look at the Star Wars of 25,000 years ago—before there were
lightsabers, when the ties to the Force were new, and before the Jedi spread
out into the galaxy. It began with the mysterious pyramid ships—the Tho
Yor—scattered to the eight corners of the galaxy, and ended with the
establishment of an Order that would change the universe forever.
Praise for Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi #0:
“This issue is jam-packed for an issue 0. A great deal
of back-story is presented in this starting point for the very early days of
the Jedi.”—Technorati
“If you’re planning on picking up the Star Wars: Dawn
of the Jedi series, I highly recommend you pick up Star Wars: Dawn of
the Jedi #0. The amount of information that you get, coupled by the
amazing artwork is worth it alone, but add on the fact that it was very
enjoyable to read, makes it a must buy.”—Comic Book Critic
Praise for Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi #1:
“This is just the start of a new chapter of the Star
Wars saga, and the journey of the Jedi (or in this case the JE’DAII). John
Ostrander’s story is both engaging and interesting and by the time you reach
the final panel of the book, you will be ready for issue #2. If you are new to
the ‘Star Wars Expanded Universe’ or have a buddingStar Wars fan you
want to read more, put this Dark Horse book in their hands.”—ScienceFiction.com
“Expanded Universe fans are going to LOVE this series,
and will find this introduction issue to be their highlight of comic book
reading for the month—no doubts. General Star Wars fans will also
find it enjoyable; and other comic fans may find it worth a glance. This may be
clearly aimed at Star Wars nerds, but it may just be one of the best
comic book series set in the galaxy far, far away ever to have been
published.”—Geeks of Doom
