Celebration VI Coverage: Dark Horse 2013 Panel

Once again, we’re on the move so we’ll just leave the news tidbits! Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter (link in the sidebar) for up-to-the-minute news and observations from CVI. Bullet points!

  • No announcements for this show, Dark Horse’s new offerings likely will be revealed at New York Comic Con.
  • Cover for new Knight Errant revealed. Looks like it’s got a Dragonriders of Pern vibe.
  • John Jackson Miller talked about the next Knight Errant arc. Kerra learns that her parents may still be alive. This will be the “most important moment in Kerra’s life.”
  • New Jedi to be introduced in the next Darth Maul arc.
  • Lost Tribe of the Sith an example of synergy between Del Rey and Dark Horse.
  • New Agent of the Empire arc will feature a lot of cameos from familiar names like Bail Organa, Leia, and Winter. Revolves around the current Count of Sereno. Both Nanci and I were particularly gleeful over this announcement.
  • There IS a new announcement! A new arc of Dark Times is coming. Gabriel Guzman will provide the interior art.
  • Cover for a new Star Wars: Purge: The Tyrant’s Fist revealed. Features Vader and stormtroopers. Look for the new Purge in December.
  • The new Star Wars comic is NOT a reboot. It’s NOT ignoring continuity. It’s NOT trampling pre-existing canon. So cool your jets on that front, so says Randy Stradley. This is going to be a gateway point for new Star Wars fans who want to get into comics.
  • Invasion stopped because a satisfying conclusion was reached. That said, Randy Stradley said to keep your eyes open to see what might happens next as far as Legacy goes.
  • No plans for more Tales Of comics, but John Jackson Miller certainly seems interested. That said, Lost Tribe of the Sith is probably your Tales of the Jedi for a while.
  • Del Rey and Dark Horse have been talking about a “really, really cool” collaboration which would culminate in a big climactic event. Another Galactic Apocalypse of the Week plot?
