Witness the origins of the Jedi this Wednesday, February 1, 2012

An even longer time ago in a galaxy far, far away, ties to the Force were new and lightsabers were not yet a symbol of discipline and strength. This week, Dark Horse takes readers back 25,000 years in Star Wars' history to witness the birth of the Jedi in Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi #0. It was during this time that nine mysterious pyramid ships known as the Tho Yor carried the ancestors of the ancient race Je'daii to the corners of the galaxy where an Order was born that would forever change the universe. Writer John Ostrander and artist Jan Duursema take readers on this new, unexplored part of Star Wars history.

Lovecraftian forces continue to spread across the IDW universe. This week, they will enter the world of robots in disguise in Infestation 2: Transformers #1 by writer Chuck Dixon and artist Guido Guidi. Taking place in an age of steam-punk, monsters emerge from the dark depths of the ocean to corrupt humans and Decepticons! Only one man can awaken the Autobots to save the world!

Cable believes he can save the future, but there is one catch: the Avengers must be eliminated. Cable's one-man mission to wipeout the Earth's mightiest heroes continues this week in Avengers X-Sanction #3! If Cable had his hands full before, things only get worse as the Red Hulk becomes his next target. There are also some other notable Avengers and  X-books out this week, such as Avengers Academy #25, Uncanny X-Force #21, Uncanny X-Men #6, X-Club #3, and the always wonderful X-Factor #231.

These titles will be available for purchase as soon as we open on Wednesday, February 1st! (And here's an oddity: February 2012 will be the first February since the early 1980s to have FIVE comic book shipping weeks--it can only happen during a leap year in which February 1st falls on a Wednesday.)
