Advance Preview: Dark Horse's Star Wars Rebel Heist

The newest Star Wars release arrives looking great. Read on to learn more. 

Story By: Dave Beusing

Matt Kindt has taken on an obscene number of comic book assignments over the past year. Ever since he became the author de jour following the critical success of Mind MGMT (one of the best comics on the stands for 2+ years now), his name has been all over the comic book market.

From DC’s Villains Month (he wrote Solomon Grundy, Deadshot, & Harley Quinn) to Marvel Knights: Spider-Man (really great Spidey mini-series; like Arkham Asylum meets the Webhead) to Valiant Comics Unity (think: their Avengers), Kindt has been working his ass off.

All of this is to say, there’s a moment of hesitation, a tentative fear that his new 4 issue miniseries, Star Wars: Rebel Heist from Dark Horse, will sag under the weight of his impressive workload.

Fortunately, it’s only a moment of hesitation. And then you take a look at that Kindt-painted cover of Han Solo and a blue alien girl Kirk may have left behind (crossing streams!!!). The end result is pure excitement.

If ever there was a time to give a Star Wars comic book a shot, Kindt writing with Star Wars art vet Marco Castiello penciling the action should do the trick.

You’re talking some of the best talents in comics, on top of their game, giving your four issues of new Han Solo stories. Even if you’re not a comics guy at heart, this is a prime series to check out.
