Original generated cover art — not a reproduction of any published cover
Thirteen years after Endor, Kir Kanos is dragged back into Imperial politics for a third and final time, with the original creative team reassembled.
Six issues from October 2011 to April 2012, written by Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley with art by Paul Gulacy and covers by Dave Dorman — the same team as the 1997 original, fourteen years on.
This run is in the catalogue but has not been written up. Everything above is verified publication data; there is no opinion here yet, and a placeholder review would be worse than none.
The arc breakdown and issue list below are the useful part for now.
