Ooooooo!!! Hope I can get the Maul and Vader cover in Singapore this June. Then again, hope Kino have their 20% off too this June! :P

For those wondering when it's coming out:

"Star Wars Insider #88 starts shipping to subscribers around the beginning of June, and hits newsstands on June 13."

Thought i'll point out that the author of the article "Heritage of the Sith", Drew Karpyshyn, is the one writing the hardcover novel "Darth Bane: Path of Destruction" scheduled for release this October

It's true!

Went to Comics World yesterday and got a copy!

Here's why i think this issue rocks!

- There are 4 different covers to collect but even if you do miss your fave cover, the artwork for the different covers can also be found in the article "Morbid Visions" along with profiles about the respective illustrators (Aaron Mcbride rules!)

- Ray Park's "How to fight like a Sith in 8 easy steps"

- Sith Lords Summer Camp with "Sidious Sing-Alongs" "Mustafar Field Trips"

- the usual Collector's Picks plus other SW merchandise eye candy

Oh yeah, Sith, Sith and more Sith in this issue

As of today, Kino only has Vader's and Palpy's covers.

Best part of this issue IMO is Heritage of the Sith, which delves deep into Sith History from the First Great Schism to the New Sith Wars, & Legacies of Future Orders, which is somewhat similar to the new comic Legacy Issue #0 albeit with less illustrations but more descriptions of the characters.
