Set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the event centers on a galaxy-wide droid plague known as the Scourge. Corruption spreads from droid to droid, causing chaos for both the Rebel Alliance and the Empire. Key questions revolve around the nature of the Scourge, the role of Ajax Sigma, and whose side he’s on.
R2-D2 assembles a team of droid heroes called the D-Squad to fight back. The story also involves the main rebel crew, the bounty hunters, Doctor Aphra, and Darth Vader. It wraps up major ongoing series from that era of Marvel’s Star Wars comics and leads into the events of Return of the Jedi.
Writers include Charles Soule, Marc Guggenheim, Ethan Sacks, Greg Pak, and Alyssa Wong, with art by Luke Ross, Salva Espin, and many others.
This is the definitive collected edition of the full crossover if you want the complete Dark Droids saga in one place.
