Dark Empire, a good or bad comic?

I’ve read Dark Empire more than I want to admit because I wanted to appreciate it. Sadly, I couldn’t.
The audiodrama of the first part is pretty good! Despite of all the events after Leia stealing the Holocron in such a cartoony way xD

Well, that probably depends on what you value most in a comic!
I like the first DE. The illustrations are beautiful and I enjoy the dialogue. Like most Star Wars, you sort of have to enjoy it for what it is, instead of being disappointed by what it isn't.
If it's not for you, then it's just not for you.

It's a beautiful looking comic. It even has a few good lines. But the story of the first one is hackish, and the second one is even worse, boring. I'm a big fan nonetheless.

Pretty much completely agree here. It’s a gorgeous piece of art accompanied by a (at best) serviceable story.

I don't like it, but I am very alone with that standpoint in the Green Circle.
