Here's a look ahead at some upcoming titles from Dark Horse Comics.

Star Wars: Invasion #2 (of 5) Written by Tom Taylor; Art by Colin Wilson; Colors by Wes Dzioba; Cover by Jo Chen On Sale August 5; 40 pages.

Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and the soldiers of the New Republic were able to pull off a last-second evacuation of some of the civilian refugees from Artorias, but for Finn Galfridian it was too little, too late. Finn's mother and sister have been taken prisoner by the Vong, and his father was left behind with a delaying force to allow the refugees to escape.

Now Finn finds himself at the new Jedi temple on Yavin 4, where he is to undergo training -- but what he really wants is to get back into the fight!

This series is set during the New Jedi Order, approximately twenty-five years after the Battle of Yavin. The Jedi, and the galaxy, are facing their first real threat since the Sith were defeated: an invasion of hostile warriors called the Yuuzhan Vong! Read the preview to issue #1 here.

Faced with the worst storm in the ice-planet Khorm's history, Jedi Masters Plo Koon and Kit Fisto embark on an impossible mission -- to destroy the Separatists' mountain fortress.

Former Jedi Dass Jennir has woven a tangled web of lies in his quest to topple two opposing gangs. Now, all the threads are about to break, and the gangs will tear the town apart in a war that may doom those Jennir sought to save -- but not before they take their vengeance out on him!



Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #44 "The Reaping" (Part 2 of 2) Written by John Jackson Miller; Art by Bong Dazo; Colors by Michael Atiyeh; Cover by Benjamin Carré On sale August 19; 40 pages

The latest masquerade of the Hot Prospect and its crew has been discovered! Up against the Crucible, a massive slave-trading organization, Zayne Carrick is having another streak of unfortunate luck. Zayne and Jarael entered a comet-mining facility with the intention of freeing its slaves and taking a knife to the miners' profits, but when the Crucible is tipped off that imposters are nudging in on their territory, a death-defying space battle ensues!

Don't miss this conclusion to the story that exposes a shocking truth about one of KotOR's most-loved characters!

Oh, and back on Coruscant, the Sith are placing someone new on the throne...
