The year-long crossover involving all four Star Wars titles kicks off in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #25, on sale today! Snag one before they're gone!

I'll have comments up eventually — it's colder than Hoth up here in the Lesser White North, and I haven't gotten out to get a copy yet. (You have to love a place that uses "life-threatening" in a weather report.) Anyway, check back...

And just in time to help you brush up for "Vector" next week, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Vol. 3: Days of Fear, Nights of Anger is now on sale! Snag one — it looks spiffy.

It's available from your local comics shop, most bookstores, and various online retailers. Look here for  Knights of the Old Republic Vol. 3 on Amazon — it's easier than just searching "KOTOR 3," which on the internet gets you all kinds of answers!

In other news, lots more "Vector" interviews coming. Check out the latest, on ComicBookResources. More links as I have them!

And, if you think it's been a while since people have ben to the Moon -- it's been about as long since anything's been to Mercury. That changes today, with Messenger's first flyby. Lots on the NASA channel, and click for the mission home page...

And the "Vector" preview for Knights of the Old Republic #25 is now the lead element on the Myspace Comics Section.Enjoy...

Vanity Fair has a huge article up today, an exclusive look into Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Check it out!

As ever, I cannot say anything about the film — but I can now note that the graphic novelization I'm writing has a page at the Dark Horse site and also can be preordered from Amazon and your local comics retailer. Luke Ross is the penciller, with Fabio Laguna inking.

Otherwise — hope you all are having a happy 2008. As a poli sci grad and a political news junkie, tonight is like the start of baseball season in America — the Iowa caucuses being the first "pitch." My rooting interest is always for something entertaining — and this year's contests show promise in that regard. (And just to show how much politics resembles sports to the armchair viewer — check out the Fantasy '08 game here. Apart from being a fun diversion, it's interesting as a measure — imperfect, but still a measure — of what the consensus of the kibbitzers is at any one moment.)
