Invasion is turning out pretty interesting, I don't like the Star Wars novels, so atm all I know of the Invasion is what is implied in the SW: Legacy series. Really looking forward to the rest of the Invasion episodes.

My favourites remain Legacy (about 130 years after the movies) and Knights of the Old Republic (about 4000 years before the movies) series though.

The novels suffer from the fap fap fap mindset that attracts people to Harry Potter and Twilight. I used to post on the forums over on the official Star Wars website (with a sarcastic anti-alien persona), and there'd be obsessed fans who gushed over female X winding up in the sack with male Y and, generally, acting like retarded fanboys/girls. "Jaina Solo finally wound up with Boba Fett? But I thought she was going to wind up with Jabba the Hutt's son! I am so pissed off right now! *FAPFAPFAPFAPFAP*" That's how I view most fans of the Star Wars novels, quite accurately, I think.

I prefer the comics, the KOtOR and Legacy being my favorite. Different time periods, none of the characters I'm sick and tired of. My all-time favorite Star Wars character is Darth Revan, who has nothing to do with the movies.

I love Revan, though I still prefer the Exile as a character.

I love Revan, though I still prefer the Exile as a character.

Revan has the mystique of being more enigmatic. The Exile was a follower whereas Revan was the leader of the anti-Mandalorian Jedi. Revan has made a few brief appearances in the KOtOR comic series and I hope his background is elaborated upon- but not too much.

I've been a fanboy for decades! What do I read? Gosh, impossible to list. Too many titles. However, this might help: the breakdown for publishers is DC over Marvel 3-1, with major purchases from IDW, Dynamite, and Dark Horse. My tastes run from trad spandex stories to westerns, pirates, space opera, spies, even funny animals! Unlike many of the illiterati in the fanboy base, I read "Final Crisis," understood it, and enjoyed it!

It' a choice, Wesley, that each of us must face: to remain ordinary,
pathetic, beat-down - coasting through a miserable existence
like sheep herded by fate - or you can take control of your own destiny
and join us, releasing the caged wolf you have inside.

Our purpose is to maintain stability in an unstable world —
kill one, save a thousand.

Within the fabric of this world, every life hangs by a thread.
We are that thread — a fraternity of assassins, weapons of fate.

This is the decision that lies before you now:
the sheep, or the wolf. The choice is yours.

Welcome to the Fraternity

I'm too lazy to look up images on the web, but I have enjoyed:

The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers (hippy comics I know, but they're funny)

Archie (when I was little mind you! )

And more recently:

Conan

My comic-book-loving work mate has been trying to get me to read this for a while now. I need to take him up on his offer to loan it to me.

I love that one. So much better than the crap movie they made from it later on.
