Summary: Infinities: TESB
Review: A wonderfully helpful stranger recommended this to me in a bookstore, and when I flipped through it and liked what I saw, I decided to purchase it. The story is excellent -- I was very drawn to the "What if...?" aspect that permeates it. What if Luke had died from his injuries on Hoth? Who would then face Vader? What if Vader showed up at Cloud City a little bit later than he did in the film? Instead of Luke training as a Jedi, we see Leia taking that role after Luke's death. And instead of Han being frozen in carbonite, a certain bounty hunter has to endure that -- and subsequently ends up as an interesting piece of furniture for Lando Calrissian's office. This is my first experience with Star Wars comics, but it will definitely not be the last.

Summary: I liked it
Review: I don't want to give too much away here, but it's very good and the artwork is very detailed. I was hoping for a different twist in the plot but this book has a good twist. The twist I was hoping for was in Cloud City, Luke missing a hand, hanging over the central shaft and Vader says, "Join me and we will rule the galaxy together as father and son." I was waiting for Luke to say, "OK" see the destruction of the Falcon and Cloud City going up in flames. That would be a good start. The only problem I have with these books is the Rebels still win. I want the Empire to win once and a while.

Summary: Luke Skywalker died on Hoth.
Review: The Empire Strikes Back is my first exposure to the Infinities line, and I'd like to see more. The subtle changes that can pave the way for major revisions to the story are fascinating to explore -- and the Dark Horse team has done a deft job with this one. Give us more!

Review: This comic was fun to read because it was different from the movies (Luke Dies, Leia become Jedi from Yoda, ...). However some of the parts were kind of confusing. But if you like this series you should get it. If you have never heard of this series I wouldn't buy it. :)
