It's a one-shot from a few months ago. IIRC correctly it is going to be in the last Clone Wars trade as well. All the Clone Wars stuff is in trade, from vol 1 through to vol 7 I think. Vol 2 has a lot of Gungans dying from chemical weapons, so you might enjoy that. Ostrander has always been pretty decent writing Star Wars comics, and Haden Blackman raises his level well above his normal par. The Last Stand on Jabim stuff is good as well, and Dark Horse uses the setup well by having Luke visit there in the Empire comic, and he has to deal with the consequences of what Anakin did there.

I really like G0DLAND, Jesse. Casey, time and again, I've kept trying with him, but this one seems a keeper. Just getting it in trades though, I think. First one's beautifully designed.

Yeah, Casey's hard to figure out. I can't stand most of his stuff, but Wildcats 3.0 was a good little series, and Godland is wonderfully inspired. Oh, I liked his Codeflesh thing also. The rest, not so much.
Trying to think of what else I could recommend... Promethea, I guess? A pretty slept on Alan Moore work. (If there is such a thing.)

I recommend Elfquest, that is, the old volumes. I know you haven't read that one, Hector, but it's pretty good.
P.S. There just aren't enough good comics out there at this point.
I really do wish Crossgen had never collapsed.

If you just wanna have some fun, I can rdcommend you "Ma Dalton" from the Lucky Luke series. It's imho the far funniest comic of that series I know of. Second (of those I have) are "Fingers" and "The Bounty Hunter". These are the German titles translated into English; I don't know how the English titles actually sound, but you should be able to deduce them from my translations. On the Wikipedia article Ma Dalton is Number 38. I noticed that there are only the original french titles present, and not one of (possible) English translations. I think that's a big gap that needs to be filled.
