special 25 cent issue!
Welcome to the beginning of a grand, new chapter in the Star Wars saga!
This special 25¢ comic sets the stage for the launch of the new Star
Wars: Legacy series, which begins in June.
More than a hundred years have passed since the events in Return of the
Jedi and the days of the New Jedi Order. There is a new evil gripping

surprising—interplanetary intrigue and adventure on an epic scale;
iconic heroes and villains cast in new roles and caught in surprising
new situations. Everything you've loved about Star Wars, but nothing
you expect!

Teen superhero Lindsay Goldman is back with all new adventures in
GoGirl!: Robots Gone Wild
The award-winning GoGirl! is back with two exciting new adventures in
one volume in this original graphic novel from creators Trina Robbins
and Anne Timmons.
Video games can get too realistic, as the flying teenager, GoGirl!
discovers in “Prisoners of the Machine,” when she and her friends find
themselves trapped inside a computer and menaced by giant anime-robots!
And in “Double Trouble,” GoGirl!'s arch-enemies create a robot that
looks just like her, except that it has the mind of a master criminal.
How can our heroine convince the cops that she didn't rob that bank,
when everyone saw her do it? Plus, GoGirl!'s sidekick, Haseena, tired
of always being rescued by the flying teen, takes up sleuthing herself
in “Haseena Ross, Girl Detective.”
GoGirl!: Robots Gone Wild features stories by Trina Robbins with art by
Anne Timmons. It arrives on sale June 28 with a retail price of $14.95.

Steve Niles' Criminal Macabre returns to Dark Horse in
special one-shot!
He's ba-aaaack! Cal McDonald—the hair-triggered, smart ass, tough guy,
private dick- monster hunter comes back to Dark Horse this month, and
he's brought his strangest nemesis with him.
Horror maestro Steve Niles collaborated with fantastic artist Kyle Hotz
(Marvel's Manthing, Dark Horse's Billy the Kid ) to bring to vivid,
spooky life Cal's first-ever encounter with a real-deal golem. From the
folklore of Jewish mysticism, the earthy homunculus is given shape and
purpose by a grief-stricken father, out to exact vengeance on the man
who attacked his daughter. In a bizarre twist of fate, the golem is
loosed on the world with no master and only one known purpose—to kill!
Cal's gotta do whatever it takes to stop this marauding hunk of clay
from a pointless killing spree or . . . or, there's gonna be a
pointless killing spree!
Criminal Macabre: Feat of Clay features story by Steve Niles with art
by Kyle Hotz. This special one-shot arrives on sale May 31 with a

Wars: Clone Wars Adventures Volume 1 are
the initial titles to be released.
Dark Horse Comics is pleased to announce for the first time ever Star

the growing Hispanic population (over forty million strong in the

the installation, but they learn that there are heroes fighting for the
Separatist cause as well as for the Republic, and that Jango Fett,
though dead, still has something to say!

the dark before they can take on the dreaded Shadowmen. Incredible
action, hot art, and lightning-fast pacing are coming your way in this
new take on the Star Wars galaxy!

Wars: A New Hope, as the Death Star is readied for its fateful first
mission, a power-hungry cabal of Grand Mofs and Imperial Officers
