Empire had some nice art, at least the few I've flipped through have.
I don't know what the storyline is...
I did however enjoy looking at it, and felt they were definately pulling from the military aspects of EU and trying some cohesive and logical designs in the art. Things like "Field" stormtroopers further dispelling the "Sandtrooper" myth and such...
I've gotten out of the Comic book racket though, and just am looking to sell my collection now instead of creating a new monster, haha.
Finding someone to buy a BUNCH of comics at once is a tough chore though.
