You heard right, after over two decades of Star Wars being published by Dark Horse Comics, the franchise will be making the move to Marvel in 2015. Disney, who purchased Lucasfilm in October of 2012, has announced that they intend to move the Star Wars publishing license to Marvel in a statement sent out by Mike Richardson (Founder, Dark Horse Comics) and Jeremy S. Atkins (Director of Public Relations, Dark Horse Comics).
As another year has come to an end, it is time to look back at some of the highlights that made 2013 so grand. In this overview, we will go over our top picks for video games, comic books, and anime! Here are just some of the highlights that made 2013 such a great year:
