ON SALE THIS WEEK IN REVIEWS

Dark Horse Presents #8

"Dark Horse had nothing to prove with their latest anthology. In 2011, they put out some of the most compelling and progressive comics to hit shelves. They long ago established their ability to provide readers with interesting and unique content. Dark Horse Presents #8 has just further proven that this is a publisher with big plans for 2012." - Geeks of Doom

“It has an unquestionable pedigree.  I read Dark Horse Presents at a perfect time, when I was exploring what comics could be and the stories they could tell. Dark Horse Presents opened me up to a whole load of possibilities. I discovered Concrete, Sin City, Next Men, Bacchus and much more. So while I can’t say if this is the greatest issue of Dark Horse Presents for everyone, it certainly is for me.” - Bleeding Cool

 

Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi #0

"This issue is jam-packed for an issue 0. A great deal of back-story is presented in this starting point for the very early days of the Jedi. Lettering is very good for an issue that is mostly text. The bits of art are fine." - Technorati 

"If you’re planning on picking up the Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi series, I highly recommend you pick up Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi #0. The amount of information that you get, coupled by the amazing artwork is worth it along, but add on the fact that it was very enjoyable to read, makes it a must buy." - Comic Book Critic
