This week from DarkHorse comics is KOTOR #31. Zayne Carrick is getting closer to clearing his name, but he’ll have to face off against those who have done him wrong. I’m not sure if the page art has gone back to it’s roots, or if it’s still in it’s goofy-comic phase. Here’s hoping the Liefeld-esque look comes back soon.

Thanks to The Jawa.com for bringing to our attention to THIS photo of a SECOND Mexican Con exclusive. As a follow up to the earlier report, now there is a Commander Thire & Shocktrooper pack. But hold on to your pantalones folks, while the 501st pack featured earlier was limited to 300 sets, this one is limited to only 100. No, Skullers, you can’t simply attend the convention and buy it. You have to acquire the rights to owning one by completing a veritable treasure hunt!
