In January 2015, Star Wars will return to Marvel Comics. It's been over two decades since the two companies worked together, as Dark Horse took over publishing duties for Star Wars in 1991. In the 20+ years since, Dark Horse told some of the best Star Wars stories anyone had ever seen; unfortunately for the publisher, Disney's purchase of the Star Wars license meant the end of its time with the franchise.
That being said, it's not all bad news: Star Wars comics will live on through Marvel, and Dark Horse is celebrating its two-decade run with a massive sale on all of its Star Wars books. Usually, these sales are limited to the publisher's best or most popular stories, but with the Star Wars Farewell MegaBundle, Dark Horse isn't pulling any punches: every single one of the company's 500+ Star Wars comics is on sale right now.
For anyone that's missed a single Dark Horse Star Wars issue, this sale is absolute gold. Even the biggest comics in the industry don't see sales like this: 20 years of Star Wars comic history, all captured digitally forever.
Of course, 568 books is obviously going to cost a pretty penny. At $300, the sale is no slouch when it comes to an asking price. Then again, it still makes for a great bargain, as the total price-per-issue comes to about $0.52 - most comic books retail for roughly $3.99 these days, and the price doesn't even reflect the rarer books included in the Farewell sale.
While they may not be as big a name as Marvel, Dark Horse published some truly masterful Star Wars stories over the years. Dark Empire is an amazing read, and fan favorites like Star Wars: Boba Fett and Star Wars: Tales proved that Expanded Universe stories could be just as good as the movies.
So, if you've got $300 lying around and want a piece of Star Wars history, the Farewell MegaBundle is for you. All of the details, including a full list of every book, is available at Dark Horse's official site.
