The Star Wars: Menaced Revealed Omnibus from Dark Horse collects various storylines and one-shot comics from different Star Wars series. These are some of the rarest, uncollected comics that take place between the Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.The first comic is from Dark Horse's Star Wars comic series (later retitled Republic). "Starcrash" is a one off story about a Jedi crash landing on a planet that is in the process of a hostile takeover by an alien species and their battle droids....
Calling this a mixed bag would be an understatement: never read a collected edition with such shifts in quality. Some of the stories are downright offensive with how little effort was put into them (Starcrash, the 12-page promotional comics at the end of the volume), some were mediocre to the point I don't understand how the featured characters have become popular among fans (The Hunt for Aurra Sing, Poison Moon) and some stories were surprisingly good (The Jango Fett and Zam Wessel minis, Starf...
Poslední u nás vydaný Star Wars omnibus od Dark Horse se povedl. Tak jako jiné omnibusy i Zjevná hrozba obsahuje celou škálu příběhů rozličných délek i kvalit, ale ve výsledku po dočtení všech těch povídek přetrvává dobrý pocit. Stejně jako v předchozích omnibusech je většina příběhů bohůmžel snadno zapomenutelná, ale při čtení dokáží pobavit.Vesmírná havárie je krátký “pohádkový” příběh s mangovou kresbou. Ohnivé srdce je super krátké, ale zajímavé a tak nějak meditativní. Hon na Aurru Sing má
Another fine output from Darkhorse. I wish Disney would bring back the expanded universe and make it canon. The stories have been way better than anything Disney has come up with.
Good, except for the half-dozen or so 'comics' that were nothing more than toy advertisements. Er, blatant toy advertisements. Um, more toy advertisement than usual.
I had low expectations for this Omnibus and it is the last of the prequel era that I bought. I saw a great deal for it online and wanted something to read so I picked it up. Unfortunately, Dark Horse has done a terrible marketing this Omnibus. It sounds like all the comics collected here are basically cast offs and have never been printed for good reason. I can read comics that were used to sell toys? Awesome! To add to that, they picked a terrible single issue story to start with which was some...
I liked the stories about Jango Fett a lot, and enjoyed some of the art work. Could take or leave the rest.
Did not enjoy the writing and art direction across the board here.

Star Wars Legends Project #97 Background: Menace Revealed, released in July 2009, collected several stand-alone short runs and one-offs from the time between The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones (two very brief stories take place during Clones). This is a review of the storylines not collected elsewhere. I will review the other series separately in connection with their trade paperbacks, and link to those reviews below.Republic: Starcrash (1 issue, February 2001) was written by Doug Pe
More stories from between Episode I and II. Aurra Sing, the Jedi-killing bounty hunter takes center stage in two of the stories. One involves a group of Jedi dispatched to trap her, but she escapes. There's also another Jango Fett story co-starring Zam Wessel. We see the two of them working together in Episode II, before he kills her of course, and here we get some of the back story about how they came together. Aside from that, there are a bunch of mini-comics reprinted here. They were original...
The story continues from the previous Omnibus volume and left. No doubt, the story continues after this volume. If continuity is your thing, this leads right into Episode 2 and some of it's characters get fleshed out with the allotted time. One character in particular, Jango Fett, I could tell there were different writers because his dialog/manner of speaking changes. One would assume this is because one version was a part of a little comic that came with a toy and so the target audience was dif...
Hit and miss. It's nice to have some of these rarer comics finally collected, but the last few used to promote Hasbro products were pretty bad.
Most of the stories in this volume were rather uninspiring. The Starcrash story was pretty poor. The Jango Fett/Zam Wesell stories were actually pretty decent with some of the better artwork. The Bounty Hunter: Aurra Sing story was annoying as it showed little originally, simply using the same locals that had been used in the movie (apparently Endor and Hoth were regular places frequented by others before the original trilogy. Curious as to why either the rebellion or empire would set up secret
I think these whole stories of Star Wars before Battles of Yavin. I think this book is interesting, altough it has blood on it. The stories give me thought & inspiration
the fist one was pretty pointless.the next storys wern't bad but they wern't the best the last for were worse than the first and then they ended as if they were just advertizement for toys.
Some of the stories were interesting, but there was one anime styled one about Anakin and ObiWan in which they were hard to distinguish from each other and didn't feel quite right. Also the last few seemed to be comics that were in with toys that were for sale.
I enjoyed this book, but it wasn't one of my favorite Star Wars Omnibuses.
Starcrash- Colors are AMAZING and even the art is good. It's the premise that bothers me.- Yoshi is a new Knight and crashes on a planet that Lord Gar-Oth has taken over. Yoshi helps the princess. But the princess and her people are essentially elves, and Yoshi is a new knight [in shining armor]. He thinks he may even go back and fall in love with the princess. - When I first read this I thought it was a cute story, but now I roll my eyes. It's overly fantastical, even for the SW verse.Heart of
Solidní Star Wars mix jediů/bounty hunterů a známých filmových postav s vedlejšími z EU. V druhé půlce omnibusu krapet došel dech.3,5*
