[Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter] Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter
By Michael Reaves
Reviewed by Lukasz Herman, Poland
Reviewer's Score: 4.3 / 5
Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter is a very entertaining book with a fantastic main character. It’s well written and the pace of the action is extremely high so one won’t be bored while reading. I can’t call this book perfect, because Darsha and Lorn were too typical in my opinion, but despite that I liked it very much.

[Available now...] Star Wars #1
By Brian Wood, Carlos D'Anda, Gabe Eltaeb et al.
Reviewed by Ewan, Star Wars Books & Comics
a solid start to one of the most anticipated Star Wars comics of recent times [...] has more merit to it that some of the pre-existing stories [...] Wood achieves a remarkable amount of insight into our favourite characters post-Yavin [...] Luke is emotionally confused [...] Leia better understands the reality her of situation [...] Han may still be the cocky scoundrel from Episode IV but within him there is a realisation that things have undoubtly changed [...] the Dark Lord of the Sith is fearful: not of the Emperor's wrath but by a name - a name from his past [...] art is superb [...] captures Lucas's vision of a "lived-in universe" [...] colouring compliments Wood's story ... read full review

[X-Wing: Rogue Leader] X-Wing: Rogue Leader
By Haden Blackman et al.
Reviewed by Darth Kondorr, Poland
story was rather flat, not boring, but not tot engaging as well [...] what I did like was the feeling that, while the rebels had their break in the war, it was still far from won [...] art was nice, especially the coloring, but nothing worth noting [...] had problems telling the characters apart at times... read full review

[The Truce at Bakura] The Truce at Bakura
By Kathy Tyers
Reviewed by Darth Kondorr, Poland
an average book [...] I did not like the main plot [...] can be summed up as Star Wars Vs. High Tech Dinosaurs [...] I did like the characterization of our dearest heroes [...] I could see them actually speaking those dialogs [...] a really nice read [...] not spectacular, at moments boring [...] did not draw me in that much, so I was at times distracted by other thoughts... read full review

[Blood Ties: Boba Fett is Dead] Blood Ties: Boba Fett is Dead
By Tom Taylor et al.
Reviewed by J. L. Polacek, USA
Blood Ties: Boba Fett is Dead was a exhilarating story of Boba Fett. I mean when i first of this i could not believe my own ears that one of the best bounty hunters had actually died. But i knew that it was just trick. As I've seen, Boba Fett is one man you should never ever cross or try to get even with. It was great to see Boba Fett helping his half-brother Connor Freeman out again. Plus i really like how they created tension between Boba Fett over his ex-wife and his daughter. I also like how Fett went to great lengths to find out who was trying to kill him and his family. This shows you that no matter how strong and smart you are, that Boba Fett will not go quietly into the night.

[Darth Maul: Death Sentence] Darth Maul: Death Sentence
By Tom Taylor et al.
Reviewed by J. L. Polacek, USA
Darth Maul: Death Sentence was a great story. I like how Darth Maul was seen at first as hero a "demon of light", how he was seen as a hero to the people till the end. I also like how they had a Trandoshan as a Jedi. We have not seen many of those except as hunter and bounty hunters.
