They're alright as far as comics go. But I'll read anything once with Star Wars in the title, so I think I'm a bit biased heh.

Darkhorse has some very talented artists. Ive read a few of their other star wars comics and am now interested in finding more.

these comics are good but there no way better then the old Repulic comics dark horse do and even star was legends

you should check them out http://www.darkhorse.com/

Gotta love these comicz! 10/10

These seem to be coming out faster. 16 came out on a Wednesday or Thursday. I'm wondering if they're accelerating these as they're moving their eta forwards.

Brilliant just brilliant

i want to see a hologram of revan by the end of it

reduce the light saber hilts to be not so bulky more elegant and Jedi rule

Idk about you guys, but to me these comics are getting a tad jumpy or random in ways, it's a good comic, but I've just loat all sense of waht's happenign now after that one Jedi was executed on the imperial ship.

I also had to re-read to get "the idea of a clue" about what's going on. That helped getting a bigger picture. So many sidelines. And by reading it in one piece I appreciated it more.

What I found really disturbing was the senseless slaugther of the female master jedi. I didn't expect this display of brutality in StarWars, which is - although the overall setting is war of course - after all a kids fairy tale.

I agree, Eillack. Althought I love the story, it's hard to keep track of characters. I've had to re-read from the beginning at least three times.

happening*

To anyone who wants to see the game reveal at PAX here's a link to the video of what they showed. Including the light side version of "Kill the Captain" and a female bounty hunter. http://pax.gamespot.com/video/6216906/

Thx mate for the link, that was the real Friday update for me ;)

A summary of all the comments below this one: NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

I seen the sighn up sheet too! I filled it out and nothing... I don't get it! it might be for later today, or this week!

really? lol maybe thats one of our future major updates...

wow, itz a lot of future siths already, think i might go jedi to even it out...i wonder what the other classes will be....and have they mentioned anything about the playable races yet?

yeah I guess Alpha testing might be the next update... I hope I can Get on it. I have beta tested before. I have a nak for finding gliches lol.

Ok there was a post up about Alpha Sign ups, now its MIA. WTF what a tease

I agree that these comics are lame, but what the hell do you want from them? These are *only* here to give you something to see at the end of the week, would you rather nothing?

I'd like to see anyone who's b9tching at bioware make a game, safe money's on you failing like the whiny ungrateful american neo nazis you are.

ROFL

Zippidy doo dah zippidy aye my oh my another comic friday!

I don't care enough about these horrid and poorly done comics to keep coming back to this site. It's an utter disappointment at the VERY least. And anyone saying that Bioware doesn't owe us these updates...well that's has got to be the dumbest thing anyone could ever say. If Bioware is expecting us to poor money into this game, they better dam well give me every reason to want to play it. These comics do nothing but make me want to play the game less. When they first started I was like all of you and I thought they would be worth the read. I stopped reading them because they have little to NOTHING to do with anything that will be going on in the game. All of the content in the comics takes place PRIOR to you even starting in the game. At first I really thought I would care, but we just really need more of the holovids with Master Gnost Durrall and a complete HALT on these god awful Threat of Peace Issues.

Yeah I'm not angry with Bioware either. I'm just not at all a fan of these comics anymore. And I'm sick of seeing the Jedi lose...we get it, the Sith FINALLY have their glory moment. But they sure are milking it aren't they?

Good point on these comics lol, a summary of all of these so far: The Republic/Jedi get their butts kicked... I am also lost w/ what's happening now with it lol, it seems to jump around now. The holovids are freakin' awsome I agree. I'm not really mad at Bioware b/c they've given us a lot of good stuff in general, but idk this comic lost its touch atm. Hope this gets an improvement :P

That would be a plus, I'm kind of sick of seeing the Jedi lose. It's kind of like this comic and the deceived trailer are telling us they want us to be Sith. And we can't forget all of the annoying guild recruiting posts on every update every week. I've seen a couple of hopeful Republic guilds yes, but the vast majority are trying to unite the Sith. Be a Republic class, Jedi-Raansu, better yet be a Jedi and we will show the Sith what we can do.

how about make something where they jedi dont get there butts kicked?

I am going to make a promise to my self. to beat down all the jedi that come
my way in the game evan one of my friends!

Reduuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce thhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lightsaberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr hilts get rid of the bulk in the graphics

I believe the lightsaber hilts are sized to hopefully show an individuals personalized style of a lightsaber, so that even in battle the enemy can see how the lightsaber has been modified and fitted. That is just a wish. If they aren't going to let such customize-ability exist, then i agree, the saber hilt's size should be slightly decreased.

And Im talking about the game play footage and not this comic actually for one the comic master zym his light saber hilt is proper sized for his hand and its sleek looking but the in game footage is just to cheesy and there way to bulky improve the graphics please and also no more boxed noses on the characters please..

Keep the updates coming! :)

Bit sad that there wasn't any actual update this week :/, But the fact that the comics are still flowing is proof that the work is progressing, and as others have noted: a large annoucement soon will relly kick things up and genereate awsomeness =D.

Keep up the good work.

-.- Sandmonkey....maybe you got some sand in your eyes... the comic is like.... TOR... so why wouldn't it be a proof that progress with the actual game is being made, when the 2 are linked, when the 2 are ONE? -.-

Actually SandMonkey, this is what this site says about the comic "Star Wars™: The Old Republic™, Threat of Peace is being developed as a collaborative venture between BioWare, LucasArts, and Dark Horse Comics. Written in conjunction with the BioWare writing team working on Star Wars: The Old Republic and produced by the comic experts at Dark Horse, the comic will offer readers a dramatic introduction to the Old Republic time period and many of the characters who appear in the game. Stay tuned and follow the storyline to its dramatic conclusion setting the stage for the players' entrance into the game. Issues of the comic will be released twice a month."

This statement was found at http://www.swtor.com/media/webcomic

As it stated, the comic does play an important part in this game.

How does the comic book have anything to do with the progression of the game development?
Its just filler material.
I doubt that even the story from the comic book, or the character within it, will have anything to do with the fininshd product.

Oh and for the record, I am looking forward to the release of this game when it finally comes to be that time. I will reserve my complaints when I finally get involved in the actuall gameplay. So far I am very impressed with all the hard work that is being put into this game. I look forward to being one of the many people jumping into this vast and mostly unexplored era of Star Wars. Keep up the good work Bioware.

I see the update I am happy with the update I see all this whining and ***** over updates and some such not so pleased. So as a person who has enough maturity to say it. Stop trolling. Go to WoW trade channel if you want to troll. I hate whiners I hate complainers and I hate people being self righteous. So I have no high horse to jump on when I say all of us (yes that includes me) complaining about something right now need to gtfo. If you don't like the updates then stop coming back. kthxbai.

Thanks for the update!

Guys, i do not want to dissapoint anyone but we do not know the limit of characters that can ally with each other. We might not be able to form clans. I do hope that they will make it possible because many people seem to desire that.

Trolling....

Guilds are already confirmed, look at the Community, you can create Guilds/Clans there so.

No i don't want a stinking MMO style of play i want a huge role playing game so i hope they do away with these stupid guild clan what ever you call it .

i read this issue this mornin and i love the story.

I admit, while ridiculous beyond all measure, the posts never fail to humor me. Whiners,defenders,recruiters,spammers, and everyone else all gather to post on one thread...all sure that their position is justified and is the only right answer. This my friends...is why these games exist. By the time of launch, many of us will already be at each others throats. I patiently await the battle to come.

dang dude where do you get this stuff?

Post of the day :D

Thanks for the welcome sir. *respectfully bows* To think I've been using it for years and you are the first to accommodate me...makes me glad I didn't hold my breath. ;)
