If you’re anything like us, you’re eagerly awaiting the release of the MMO set in the Knights of the Republic universe. It’s got BioWare, which made the first two games in the series. It’s got Darth Revan, who is the best Star Wars villain aside from Darth Maul (Editor’s note: If you haven’t yet seen it, the recently dugg “Know your lore: Revan” article is facinatingly comprehensive). And now it has it’s own web comic, from Dark Horse.

Dark Horse has joined forces with LucasArts and BioWare™ to create a new comic series, published entirely online, to introduce both the gaming and comics worlds to the upcoming massively multiplayer online game Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. Debuting this month, Star Wars: The Old Republic – Threat of Peace will feature action-packed, character-driven episodes written by BioWare’s Rob Chestney and published by Dark Horse. The stories will span the three decades from the pivotal signing of the Treaty of Coruscant to critical events at the beginning of the game.

Dark Horse currently publishes comics on the Star Wars extended and alternate universe, so we have confidence in this side project. And did we mention Darth Revan?
