Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: War #1 of 5
Dark Horse Comics
Miller, Mutti & Baldassini

A couple of years ago there was a series that ran for fifty issues called "Knights of the Old Republic". That story was mostly about a young Jedi who witnessed his Masters killing off their apprentices. This mini-series uses that character, Zayne, but takes him into a completely different direction. If you haven't read any of the Knights of the Old Republic fear not, because this story is barely tied to that one. Overall this is a good start to the mini-series that gets back to the basics of Star Wars, which is the galactic conflict.

Wolverine #300
Marvel Comics
Aaron, Kubert, Mounts, Garney, Keith, Sanders & Soto Colors

Wolverine reaches its giant anniversary issue through re-numbered and some creative math with another good issue in what has been a terrific run for writer Jason Aaron. The issue is set almost entirely in Japan as Wolverine takes a road trip to settle a conflict and find his lost, adoptive daughter. The book plays with a lot of the classic Wolverine stereotypes (such as ninjas) very well as Jason Aaron continues to poke fun at the absurd continuity that this overexposed character has over the past couple of decades. There is a good story in here and this is the kick-off issue for larger arc. The five dollar price tag isn't terrible when you consider you get thirty pages of main story, a five page preview of a Jeph Loeb Wolverine story, cover gallery and sketches. It's a good package for your comic book dollars.
