There's no doubt that this summer will be at least partly ruled by the Force (web-swingers notwithstanding) thanks to the arrival this May of STAR WARS: EPISODE II ATTACK OF THE CLONES. But for those of us who recall those heady days of yore when the gaps between the original movies were covered by the Marvel Comics series (see sidebar), there is another aspect to this periodic STAR WARS revival. This time around, it's Dark Horse that's wielding the lightsaber for fans, and they've done an incredible job filling comic shop shelves with all manner of mini- and maxi-series, one-shots and trade paperbacks. Now that we're smack in the middle of the prequel trilogy with a new installment in theaters, Dark Horse has kicked into hyperspace with an all-new assortment of Jedi goodies.
