This for me was what got me into comic books. I first collected the Dark Empire series when it was originally released back in 1991-1992. It blew me away than and it continues to do so today.

To me this (and it's successors Dark Empire II and Empire's End) should have been the next true chapters in the Star Wars universe. From the Emperor's rebirth, Luke's decent into the dark side, Bob Fett's reappearance and Leia's emergence as a Jedi this book has it all (sorry if I've spoilt it for you). I love it and could read it over and over again.

Plus as the added bonus it's illustrated by Cam Kennedy. Now I never pay attention of who pens or pencils comics, but Cam's work is so beautiful and unique that it gives the story a dark and gritty feel. If you love Star Wars I fail to see how you couldn't love this.

Star Wars: Dark Empire II  

Star Wars: Dark Empire II

Author: Tom Veitch
By Highbridge Company

Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5 Not as good as the first one, but I still liked it., 2004-11-06
THE STORY:
Six years after 'Return of the Jedi', the Empire's Dark Jedi are continuing the war against the New Republic when Emperor Palpatine is revived in a new clone body, with plans to use a new superweapon, the Galaxy Gun, to win final victory. Meanwhile Lando and Wedge lead a covert mission to Byss and the Skywalker/Solo clan begins the resurrection of the Jedi Order.

WHAT'S GOOD:
I liked the way in which Luke and Leia begin to renew the Jedi, gathering together a motley assortment of Force-users; a Jedi-turned-hobo, a Knight all but destroyed by Darth Vader, a former Dark Jedi and two youths from a primitive culture. I also enjoyed the portrayal of the Imperial Dark Jedi, showing them to be arrogant and power-hungry, yet ultimately ineffectual. Cam Kennedy's atmospheric art lives up to the 'Dark' of the title too. People who've read the 'Tales of the Jedi' comics might be interested in finding out what happens to Jedi Master Ood Bnar when he finally awakens from his slumber. We also see the return of Boba Fett, once more, but the tragic destruction of Slave I. For fans of the franchise this book is the essential link between 'Dark Empire' and the Jedi Academy trilogy.

WHAT'S BAD:
As a previous reviewer mentioned, they could have gone to a bit of effort over the name of this book/series; I mean, even the cheesiest sequels have a subtitle (often 'The Revenge'). I wasn't struck on the Galaxy Gun either. I mean, first off it's a bit hard to believe that the Empire can keep churning out superweapon after superweapon and still lose the war. Plus, it's not even a good superweapon; give me a Death Star any day of the week. Finally, although I liked the Dark Jedi in general, the fact remains that (apart from Sedriss), they all look, act and speak the same, making them impossible to tell apart.
