Did anyone here like the Brian Wood written Dark Horse Star Wars? I read it on Marvel Unlimited last year and really enjoyed it. There were some peaks and valleys but for the most part it was a fun read.
I wasn’t a fan. The out of left field, "Oh yeah guys, Leia was a fighter pilot didn’t you know?" thing was ridiculous and was not supported by anything that had come before it or after. The cast felt out of character to me in that series. Personally, I think it was the first big sign of a decline in quality at DH. Not that I’m happy that Marvel took the license. DH at their worst was still better than modern Marvel on their best day.
Thinking on it. None of DH’s attempts at a regular series starring the Big Three really worked. Though I do have to admit I’m probably a bit prejudiced in the matter. Seeing as I consider a mix of the original Marvel run and the daily newspaper strip to be the definitive story of what happened between SW and ESB.
