just be around the corner, but already comic fans are planning for
the summer. Here's what Dark Horse Comics has in the works for the

Base" begins in Star Wars: Empire #10. It is scheduled
for release on June 4.

themselves turn against the Jedi. "The Battle of Jabiim"
is a four-part tale that begins in Star Wars: Republic #55.
It is scheduled for release on June 18.
What was Yoda like as a youngling? He wasn't always nine
centuries old, and Star Wars Tales takes a look at the Jedi
Master's past, with a near-fatal brush with the dark side during his

#16 is due out on June 23, available in a photo-cover edition, or an
edition with cover art by Ashley Wood.
