    During his years as a Benedictine monk, TOM VEITCH formed lasting friendships with two former Trappist monks. One of those men, whose religious name was Elias, agreed to discuss with Tom his inner spiritual life, covering a period of more than fifty years. The result was THE VISIONS OF ELIAS, published in 2016 by Sky River Books and available on Amazon.

    TOM VEITCH wrote the best-selling STAR WARS graphic novels DARK EMPIRE and TALES OF THE JEDI. He also authored creator-owned graphic novels for DC Comics and Marvel/Epic Comics, including THE LIGHT AND DARKNESS WAR (with artist Cam Kennedy), THE NAZZ (with artist Bryan Talbot), CLASH! (with artist Adam Kubert), and MY NAME IS CHAOS (with artist John Ridgway). In the early 1990s Tom and Cam Kennedy were invited by George Lucas to revive Star Wars comics, which had been dormant for half a decade. Their award-winning graphic novel STAR WARS: DARK EMPIRE has gone through many editions and helped pave the way for a Star Wars renaissance. Tom also conceived and originated TALES OF THE JEDI (aka Knights of the Old Republic), featuring stories that take place 4000 years before the time period of the Star Wars films.

    Less well known is the fact that From 1960 to 1965 Tom was an active participant in the literary scene on New York's Lower East Side, and from 1965 to 1968 he was a cloistered Benedictine monk in Weston, Vermont. It was at Weston that Tom met the two spiritual visionaries whose stories he tells in THE VISIONS OF ELIAS.

5.0 out of 5 stars The force awakens plot

I love the fact no one realizes that Jaina solo Jacen solo and anakin solo are all in this set and that this set represents most of the plot of the new movie the force awakens and that is without a doubt. If you are lucky enough to act on buying any of these Dark Empire II series of 1-6 before December 16 you will have a great investment. I have been buying these up for 1 year and in a few days they will be worth a small fortune good luck.

Great condition for such an old used book, but as a collector, I do wish they hadn't used a paper sticker for the identifying label on the back. I can't get that thing off safely. but at least I finally have a copy of this again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for a pair of smugglers...er, comic book artists....
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2003
The struggle for mastery of the galaxy continues in this second installment of Dark Horse's Dark Empire graphic novel series. Although Leia Organa Solo and her twin brother Luke Skywalker defeated the clone of Emperor Palpatine, his minions, led by Warlord Sedriss, continue their campaign to wrest star systems away from the New Republic and back into the Imperial fold.
Even worse, the spirit-force of Palpatine still resonates even though it is disembodied, and although rebellious members of his own court have destroyed more of his clone bodies all the Emperor needs is one in which to take physical form. Knowing that he will really die forever without another body to inhabit, Palpatine sets his sights on Leia's third child, Anakin Solo. If he succeeds, Palpatine will achieve two of his most cherished goals: continued survival and revenge upon the man who betrayed him at Endor, Darth Vader.
Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy return to dazzle Star Wars aficionados with their story and artwork in Dark Empire II. As in the best Expanded Universe novels, this creative team mixes classic Star Wars characters from the movies and meld them with a cast of new friends and foes, while enriching the "galaxy far, far away" with new worlds and exotic aliens. They even follow the trilogy's structure by making Dark Empire II a cliffhanger, making sure we readers looked forward to the concluding installment, Empire's End.

I remember it being a decent Graphic novel when I read it many years ago but I when listened to it on Audio CD it sounded like a truly infantile story. Suffice it to say I did not enjoy it.

It was a very good Comic. (Trade paperback) I bought the original 1994 edtion of Dark Empire 1 back in 1994 and really enjoyed it, and found Dark empire 2 and Empires end trade paperback ver really good too. Very nice trilogy. A bit cheesy in parts with the text, (using the same lines as in SW ep 4,5, and 6) but other than that very good. Always wondered when Kam first appeared. A good buy for any SW fan.

Seriously the worst SW graphic novel I've ever read. The artwork is OK - though I think it might have worked better with a broader palate - but the writing is just embarrassing. After the Death Star is destroyed the Empire builds the... Galaxy Gun! Oh please! And Palpatine being brought back from the dead.. ugh. Veitch doesn't seem to really care for SW and seems happy to trash continuity. One to skip.
