Amazing!!  As always, of course. I'm hard-pressed to pick a favourite panel, the shots of the Rebels escaping the blast were breathtaking. Special note also for the shot of them leaving the fleet as they pass a Corellian Corvette - the ship looked stunning in the background!

Daggone!

Uh, you have an epic space battle full of my Battle of Yavin language and just stunning visuals. I love the rebel briefing display in addition to all the great space battle shots which were just too great for me to pick a favorite. Bravo Jules.

I don't know how you keep getting better, but wow this was great. I also liked the bit of romance thrown in there at the end. Just an overall great story too.

WOW!!! HOLY COW MAN! That was sweeeeet dude. You keep getting more and more impressive. All the images were great and the story is interesting.

jules i love this series lets face it i loved the X-wing novels and i'd put this in the same catergory of quality mate  well bloody done!

[Phatty]

Jules, what a chapter!  Great action, great dialogue, excellent artwork!  Very good, my friend.

[Spookymufu]

Man, Hangerbay, your images never cease to amaze me, you are truly an artist!

[Clonehead]

I will pick my jaw up now, Jules. Saying that this chapter is amazing is something of an understatement. Man, I love how the panels would flow together with the action. Beautiful chapter, my man, just beautiful.

[Road Warrior]

Nice work Jules! Very impressive!

Seems to me that a resourse strapped gang of outlaws would rather make off with a "small moons" worth of grade A hypermatter than destroy it.....

Oh, and Ansel told me that the Altor carries dozens of TIE  sqaudrons......

That being said...nice work. Visuals, dialog, effects, AND layout were first rate. You need to be making money at this.

[hangarbay94]

Thanks everyone for you comments, they really mean a lot!

Road Warrior, of course you are right....You know you've just talked yourself into a job!!! I'll run my next story by you first before doing the artwork....I can only be thankful that the massive hole left by my poor story writing ability was filled by my artistic talent. I will try harder next time.

Julian this is one of the most beautiful and entertaining stories I have ever read! No way I could pick a favorite panel, all are superb! Really several breath taking shots! Love all the action in this chapter and seeing my custom in there made me do a double take. Very well done my friend!

[Road Warrior]

I do hope that I never come across as crass.

You know I'm a big fan of yours Jules.

[hangarbay94]

Road Warrior, I'd much rather you gave me an honest appraisal than just tell me you loved it. I take on board everything as I want my creative work to be as good as it can be and without feedback like yours I'd never improve...

[Luke Sprywalker]

Well said Julian. That is an interesting idea to steal the supplies but that would be a much harder undertaking.

[hangarbay94]

Actually LE you do have a point.

The Rebels didn't know of the tanker's existence until they arrived in the system. Also it is Alliance tactics to carry out quick hit-and-fade missions on Imperial convoys, their aim is to force the Imperials to divert more assets to escorting the convoys and away from searching for the Rebel fleet.

Both Clawbird and Rancor squadrons are down to 6 pilots each, so they don't want to hang about and wait for an Imperial Cruiser to show up...they needed to get in, blow stuff up and leave, which was my thinking behind this mission. I actually added the tanker as I wanted a big bang at the end...

Road Warrior do not fear...you have actually pre-empted the next mission as that does involve a boarding operation....but you'll have to wait for the next exciting episode  to see what happens...
