Customer Reviews

At 4 volumes it's still going strong
Reprints issues #19-24, this is volume 4 of a 14 volume set, so far 4 volumes in and it just gets better as the groundwork is set, characters keep popping in, the epic feel is still there.

this is a book any fan will want though make sure you get the first 3 volumes if possible since even though they print these in 6 issue arcs it's really one huge 80 issue story and that's what makes it great, it spans the universe, battles are huge, the stakes high and it's a hell of a ride.

i have been a fan since since they first came on tv and never got a chance to read them but thanks to these trades i have been able to correct that, the movie that is supposed to be due out in 2007 is what spurred me on to buy them again, i had worried about finding old issues since they can be $10 or more for a single issue, but i found these books, now i can follow the whole story.

if your a fan then get them, no question, if your not a fan these will make you one, it has action, a great story, larger than life battles, giant robots fighting for the sake of the galaxy..there is a reason it's held strong for over 20 years.
