As Comic-Con International begins in San Diego, Dark Horse Comics has news of their upcoming titles hitting stores later this Fall.
Dissent in the ranks! Janek Sunber finds himself at odds -- and at gunpoint -- with his fellow officers over the treatment of Imperial prisoners. Hardly an auspicious start to his new assignment, and made all the worse because the internal conflict blinds the Imperials to the presence of Rebel infiltrators in their midst!
But the biggest shock to Sunber -- and the Rebels -- is yet to come, from a most unexpected quarter! Allegiances are strained, identities are revealed, and a major strike against the Empire is in the offing. An issue that should not be missed!
"The Wrong Side of the War" arc continues, with the third installment of a five-part story in Star Wars: Empire #38, featuring the talents of Welles Hartley, Davidé Fabbri, Christian Dalla Vecchia, with a cover by David Michael Beck. It is scheduled for release on October 5.
On Wedge Antilles' home planet, Corellia, he and the other members of Rogue Squadron are all that stand between an unarmed populace and a terrorist attack by remnants of Palpatine's Imperial forces.
Even the budding Jedi powers of Luke Skywalker won't be enough to tip the scales in the Rogues' favor, and to snatch victory from the jaws of this defeat may cost the life of one of their own!
High-flying action with the most popular heroes of the Expanded Universe, in Star Wars: X-wing -- Rogue Leader #2 (of 3). This series features the work of writer Haden Blackman, illustrator Tomás Giorello and colorist Michael Atiyeh, with cover art by Gary Erskine. It is scheduled for release on October 19.
A Clone Wars battle rages on the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk. Victory is in sight for the armies of the Republic, led by Jedi Masters Yoda, Luminara Unduli, and Quinlan Vos, but none of them are aware that victory will lead to a betrayal that will change the galaxy forever. There is one chance to survive, and one course remaining to any who survive ... The fate of the Jedi Order is sealed, but a single Jedi may find a path to the future ... or to the grave.

Many on both sides of the Clone Wars have been wounded or killed. But the war has taken its toll on the survivors, too. Consumed by the belief that the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress still lives, Obi-Wan Kenobi has temporarily forsaken his duties and recruited Anakin Skywalker in his desperate hunt for Ventress. But Anakin believes that Obi-Wan is chasing a ghost -- because he himself killed Ventress. And Anakin's doubts about his former Master's quest are not assuaged when, following the trail of the rumors of Ventress' existence, they walk into a trap set by their old enemies, the bounty hunter Durge and Count Dooku!
Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume 7 -- When They Were Brothers is a 144-page trade paperback collection of the entire Star Wars: Obsession story arc, plus the 2005 Free Comic Book Day comic.
