It’s about time.
Finally we’ve got Star Wars comics on the Dark Horse digital platform…
But wait..it’s not all of ’em.
AND FRAK YOU DARK HORSE it’s not even the current ones coming out this week.
Dark Horse is making old books (including the original Marvel Series) some new stuff, including some Knights of the Old Republic, Old Republic and Star Wars Legacy War – available.
It’s a mixed bad and not complete. Let’s hope that Dark Horse build a complete back catalogue and more importantly begins to ship digital titles the same day as the paper ones.
And oh yeah the prices is better.
From our brief look, most titles are $1.99 instead of the $2.99 or $3.50 that most Dark Horse print Star Wars titles have been lately. So yeaah this could (eventually) be a really good deal and the final nail in the coffin for our local comic book store. Why pay more when we can get it all on the iPad instantly for less?

We just got a new iOS Apple device and of course one of the first things we wanted to do was to find some good scifi games..
Our first stop was a search for Star Wars where we found Falcon Gunner…that’s right you get to to sit in the gun pod for the millenium falcon!
Well you should ..but the game crashes every 2 mins making the game unplayable. So we went to the game dev, THQ to see WTF is goin on…turns out THQ isn’t legally supposed to be selling any Star Wars games at this point…their license with Lucas has expired.
Why Falcon Gunner is still in the appstore? Who knows but those nerf herders stole$2.99 from us!
