Hi, guys,

I'm seriously getting into Star Wars lately, and being a comic book collector, I'd like to start picking up Star Wars comics. Are there any collections that are any good, and are there any ongoing series right now that are worth the $3?

PS: Mods, if there's already a Star Wars thread, feel free to close this one up.
 
My thoughts on ongoing series:

I love Legacy. It takes place roughly 137 years after ANH and it features a whole new Skywalker, a dude named Cade. Initially the story feels like a retread of the PT/OT, but Cade is far more of a complex, anti-hero than either Anakin or Luke. He's actually my least favorite character in the book, but the writers and artists create such an interesting milieu that I keep coming back.

Knights of the Old Republic. I've collected this sporadically, however it often gets critical raves. The artwork is up-and-down, but for the most part I think the stories and characters are engaging enough. Unfortunately this book is about to wrap up at Issue 50, I believe it has about two issues to go. I would definitely check out the trade paperbacks at a book store to see if its something you like.

Clone Wars: I think this is going to go quarterly. Right now I think its monthly. The style is similar to the Clone Wars cartoon, though the artwork is so-so at times. The stories take place during the current run of the show, but what I like about it is that is just doesn't focus on Anakin and Ashoka all the time, though they are major parts of the book.

Invasion: This one I don't care for as much. It takes place during the New Jedi Order novels, with the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. If I were you, I would just read those novels, if you can find them.

Dark Times: The first volume The Path To Nowhere was great. This is perhaps the darkest of the current comics. It takes place shortly after ROTS.
