3.0 out of 5 stars Good, But Flawed, February 16, 2006

This review is from: Star Wars Comics Companion (Paperback)

I read the book from cover to cover and was surprised by all the information it contained, but I was more surprised(and dismayed)by what it DIDN'T have. There is no summary for the story "The Best Blades"(altough pictures from it are used), several sentences are missing from the summary for "Chewbacca", the summary for "Visionaries" has incorrect information, and the biggest dissapointment is that there is absolutely NO MENTION of the series entitled "River of Chaos"! Why the authors omitted it's entry is beyond me.

Despite the flaws mentioned by one reviewer, this book is a MUST HAVE for all STAR WARS fans. Yeah ... sure, it's missing some things, but what it DOES contain is awesome. Wild, colorful, fantastic art makes up for any flaws; besides there may be a second one to make it more complete.

Highly recommended
