Even though we still have to wait a bit for new Star Wars movies to come out, that doesn’t mean we won’t get any great Star Wars stories in the meantime. Case in point today is Matt Kindt’s Star Wars: Rebel Heist from Dark Horse comics.

Here’s the deal:

A young Rebel meets one of the Alliance’s best for his first mission. But the young man’s hero worship is crushed by the reality of Han Solo. A botched escape, a ship that doesn’t work—could it be that Solo is just a lucky bumbler whose luck has run out?

Probably not. He seems pretty resourceful. Still, better read the new series just to make sure.

Check out the preview after the break. Look for Star Wars: Rebel Heist in comic shops on April 30.

No doubt about it, when the Angel TV series finished its run, we felt a little sad. Fortunately, the series came back in the form of a comic from the folks at Dark Horse.

But that’s not all. We were also treated to other comics in the same universe. Case in point today is the upcoming Angel & Faith Season 10 #1.

Here’s what you need to know:

Angel’s work is never done. During his most recent world saving, a part of London was transformed and flooded with magic. Who better to watch over this magical community than Angel? At least, that’s what he thinks. Meanwhile, Faith starts a new chapter in her life—slaying zompires alongside Buffy?!

Sign us up for this one when it comes out. In the meantime, take a look at some preview pages after the break. Look for Angel & Faith Season 10 #1 to hit stores on April 2.

At long last, Avatar: The Last Airbender fans can indulge in collectibles. Dark Horse Comics and Nickelodeon have announced plans for brand new products based on Avatar as well as The Legend of Korra.

Soon you can show off your Water, Earth, Air or Fire Nation pride with an array of merchandise including figurines, drinkware, coasters, magnets, playing cards, lunch boxes (pictured below), pins, plush, and limited-edition statues.

“Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra are some of the finest animated television shows ever created,” David Scroggy, Dark Horse Vice President, Product Development, said. “We feel a strong responsibility to bring forward the creators’ vision as accurately as possible in the style they have established, and we are excited to bring these products to fans.”

There’s no doubt Joss Whedon has had a profound impact on the geek landscape. One of his first TV shows, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, proved genre programming could be a hit with audiences and spawned a cult following that endures to this day, even thought the show itself went off the air in 2003.

Fortunately, the adventures of Buffy and company have continued, at least in the pages of comics. Dark Horse took up the challenge and released Buffy Season 8 starting in 2008. Now, they’re about to release Season 10.

Of course, we’ve got previews. Here’s more about the season:

New season. New rules. The age-old battle of Slayer vs. vampire is the focus of Buffy’s life once again—it’s downright nostalgic! But with all the toying with magic she’s done lately, this girl should know it’s time for another game change . . . Shouldn’t she?

Look for Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 10, written by Christos Gage with art by Rebekah Isaacs, to arrive in stores on March 19. Check out the preview after the break.

Continuing the trend of bringing licensed characters and other IP to the pages of comics, Dark Horse is this time going for something from the gaming world and adapting a title for comics.

The title in question is The Witcher, the best-selling game from the gang at CD Projekt. In case you’re not familiar, The Witcher is an action role-playing hack and slash where you travel the world doing what you do best, hacking and slashing.

Of course, we know it’s a bit more complicated than that. But still, based on the preview art for this comic, it pretty much follows along the same lines. And we don’t think that’s a bad thing at all.

Look for The Witcher #1 to hit stores on March 19. Check out the preview pages after the break.

With his previous works such as Whiteout and Queen and Country, writer Greg Rucka has established himself as one of the premiere voices in comics today. And now he’s set to launch a new creator-owned comic being published by Dark Horse.

The comic, called Veil, concerns “a beautiful girl wakes up in an abandoned subway station with no memory of how she got there. When men try to hurt her . . . they wind up dead. Where did she come from? And what is she capable of?

What indeed. We have some preview pages for the comic for you today to get you interested. Well, more interested as we’re sure you’re curiosity is already piqued.

Veil #1 is on sale March 5. Check out the preview pages after the break.

When unusual or interesting items cross our desk, we feel compelled to bring them to you. This time around it’s the upcoming comic from our friends at Dark Horse called Pariah.

Here’s the synopsis:

Trapped in space, the genetically engineered geniuses known as “vitros” must band together and create a plan to get back to Earth before their failing satellite turns into a deathtrap.

Sounds cool, right? We think so to. That’s kinda why we’re here.

The comic was created by Academy Award–winning producer Aron Warner, written by Philip Gelatt and features art by Brett Weldele. We’ve got some preview pages for it after the break.

Look for Pariah to arrive in stores on February 26.

It seems the folks at Dark Horse are fond of taking iconic characters and putting them into comic books. While not exactly a new practice, the company seems to have chosen some pretty great ones of late.

Recently, we brought you previews of new comics featuring The Terminator and Conan, now it’s Lara Croft’s turn as we’ve got a preview for the upcoming Tomb Raider #1.

In this one “writer Gail Simone picks up Lara Croft’s story where the Tomb Raider game left off—in and promises to take Ms. Croft on adventures that will change her life forever.” Sound good. Let’s do this!

Check out the preview after the break. Look for Tomb Raider #1 to arrive in stores on February 26.

Like The Terminator, the character of Conan is also well-known on the big screen. Coincidentally, both characters were played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in movies. But, of course, you knew that.

But this time around we’re not talking about movies. We’re talking about a comic book. The comic in question is the upcoming Dark Horse release King Conan: The Conquerer.

In it “the deposed, fugitive Conan could uncover the key to regaining his throne—or he could get a knife in the back! Conan follows a lead to a lost relic, revisits an old friend, and finds that he’s not alone in his risky hunt for a missing, magical gem.”

Sound good. We’re in. Check out some preview pages for the comic after the break. Look for King Conan: The Conqueror #1 on sale February 26.

One of the most iconic characters to ever hit the silver screen is The Terminator. From the first movie in 1984, the character has captivated audiences around the world. But he’s not just in movies.

He’s also in comics. In fact, Dark Horse has a brand new comic featuring The Terminator called Enemy of My Enemy. We’ve got a preview for it for you after the break.

Here’s some info on the upcoming series:

In 1984, Kyle Reese protected Sarah Connor from a cyborg that would stop at nothing to terminate her. In 1985, Skynet targets a scientist whose discoveries threaten its future, but this time there is no resistance fighter sent back to face it! With only enemies around her, what chance does Elise Fong stand against the perfect killing machine?

Look for it to hit store shelves on February 19. Click through to check it out.
