Summary: You must purchase this comic series.
Review: ...I'm glad someone decided to give these Royal Guardsman their fame by publishing this comic series. The drwings are great. And tt gives you in depth perspective on how these guardsman train and use their force pikes. And how they train and are also force users.
It shows how these guardsman (former elite storm troopers) show up to the training facilities, and their strive to become the beat guardsman. And the cost of that is having to ultimately killing another top contender which was one of your own fellow trainees you trained with.
That's totally compelling.

Summary: Loyalty REALLY never dies!
Review: An amazing Series, honestly. Great Story, marvellous pencilling and colouring, interesting characters.At last we get a story about an imperial character who doesn't turn into a rebel in the end (however, I hope this doesn't happen in the sequel story...). The cover art by Dave Dorman is brilliant as usual (one reason NOT to buy the paperback collection). Next to the Boba Fett and Jabba the Hutt Series it's the best comic I've read so far.

Summary: Not up to expectations
Review: Crimson Empire had a lot of potential but Dark Horse failed to exploit it to the max. The idea of an Imperial Super-Hero that remains Imperial no matter what is very interesting, that this character was a member of the elite Imperial Guard is even more so, but beyond that, the story was hollow, the characters were not explored in depth and the art was not among the best for Star Wars Comics. Cover Art is Amazing (in this TPB you get a Cover Art Gallery for all 6 issues at the end of the book). Yes, the online issue #0 was adapted and included in this book, not at the very beginningm but a few pages into the story.

Summary: One of the Best
Review: Having read a lot of Star Wars Graphic Novels, I can safely say this is one of the best if not the best. Crimson Empire delivers the goods. Period. There's a reason almost all the reviews here are 5 stars: this story is unique, captures the essence of SW and takes you on a ride that is as enjoyable as the original films. BOLD. NEW. EXCITING. Read Crimson Empire.

Summary: Where is this going?
Review: How oh how can this book be summarized? Unnecessary and irrelevant and non contributing to the STAR WARS universe are some. I can't believe the baseless story telling and the mediocre artwork of this truely great potential. Not only did I think this book to be underdone, but the writers and editors really dropped the ball on this one. Great potential, but what great disappointment on reading it. How can they justify the many gaps and uncharacteristic characterization of the story? How can they explain the quick and clicheish solutions??

Summary: The Best Star Wars Comic Yet.
Review: I am a huge fan of Star Wars, and have read almost everything written about it, but I am still capable of being disgusted by bad stories. Although the sequel leaves something to be desired, this comic blows all the others away. It is the tale of the last of the Emperor's Royal Guards, and why they were the most feared warriors in galaxy in their day. Kir Kanos is a great anti-hero, and the other characters manage to break the cliches set by other star wars works. No idealistic rebels here! The art is great, with wonderful martial arts action (why couldn't they get this team to draw Episode I?), and the frames are put together in a way to give the work an edgy, artistic feel. Definately get it!

Summary: Very Suspenseful
Review: I bought the audio version, which runs about 2 hours, and it was fantastic. Very suspenseful and I recommend it. It was about time we heard more about the Crimson Guard. (WARNING: IF you haven't read the book yet, ignore this part until you have). The problems I see are with the plot and characterizations. First, is the lady commander of the rebel base actually incompetant or were her officers at fault? She orders her blue unit too far advance when her first base is assaulted, for example. Also, the ending doesn't quite make sense--The Lady Commander and her lietentant purposefully don't kill Jax so they can take him alive, but didn't they know that Kanos had sworn again and again to kill Jax? Did they think he was going to stop after all that? Seems foolish. Also, why did her lieutentant charge Kanos AFTER Jax was dead? Obviously, it was too late to do anything about it, since HE WAS ALREADY DEAD! Why would you charge a deadly fighter like Kanos over spilled milk? Doesn't make sense. And when the Lady Commander swears to hunt down kanos because he killed her lieutenant, why would she--or we--think for a moment she could kill, much less even FIND the superior fighter Kanos? It's ridiculous as they potray Kanos as nearly invincible and the Lady as incompetant, but somehow she is going to 'bring him' to justice? Doesn't make sense!
