Star Wars Comics: X-Wing Rogue Squadron #28-29, Crimson Empire #4

Original Star Warriors - Leia, Han and Chewie - have joined the X-Wing series and Rogue Squadron has turned up in Crimson Empire, albeit seven years later in the timeline.  I like it when the various stories intersect.

X-Wing, while definitely my favorite of the Dark Horse Star Wars series so far, does have one flaw: too many characters.  More to the point, too many of the Rogue Squadron members are human and look too much alike so it's hard to tell them apart.  It's also becoming increasingly difficult to keep track of all the various narrative threads, especially with characters from previous arcs being brought back.  I think I've got everything straight at the moment but it's tempting to make a chart.

  1. Sounds like you found the X-Men equivalent in Star Wars.
    That was way past my time of reading comics.
