Star Wars Volume 1: In The Shadow Of Yavin Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
In the wake of the Death Star's destruction, the Empire seems to anticipate and thwart all moves by the struggling Rebel Alliance - which smells a spy among the ranks. Princess Leia forms a stealth squadron of her best pilots - including Luke Skywalker - to expose the spy and find the Alliance a safe home. In another part of the galaxy, Han Solo and Chewbacca are on their own mission for the Rebels, but that, too, has been betrayed to the Empire. And, over all, Darth Vader watches . . . Writer Brian Wood (The Massive, Channel Zero, DMZ, Conan the Barbarian) and artist Carlos D'Anda (Batman: Arkham City) bring you Star Wars adventure for today - and the ages!

Star Wars In the Shadow of Yavin, Volume 1, continues the story after the destruction of the first Death Star. Our motley crew of rebels are searching for a new base (which we know will eventually be Hoth) but are stymied by Imperial presences whenever they reach a new scouting location. Mon Mothma realizes they have a serious security breach and enlists Leia to create an elite group to work undercover to find their location. Meanwhile, she sends Han Solo on a secretive mission to barter for more arms and supplies at the heart of the empire: Coruscant.Right off the bat, we have a gorgeously illustrated graphic novel in the Star Wars universe with perspectives from nearly all the main characters that survive A New Hope. From Vader to Boba Fett, Threepio to my personal favorite, Wedge Antilles - even Chewie and Han with their trademark banter are well represented here. But this really is Darth Vader and Leia's book. Leia comes into her own as a warrior princess, doing secret missions in an X-wing fighter. Meanwhile, Vader has to deal with the wrath of the Emperor over the loss of the Death Star as well as deal with backstabbing subordinates. It makes for some thrilling stories.I feel the authors and artist did an excellent job of capturing the feel of the original 1970s Star Wars but also staying true and within the storyline. Luke and Leia aren't going to save the universe between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. But the story provides an excellent bridge leading up to the 5th movie events nicely.Although the characters bear only a superficial resemblance to the original actors, they are still recognizable and so that doesn't take one out of the story. The illustrations are lush and very detailed as well as beautifully colored.
