In the first issue of the new comic series from Dark Horse, Star Wars: Blood Ties: Jango and Boba Fett, editor Randy Stradley announced that a second miniseries under the Blood Ties name will be released next, featuring new characters. In the Letter from the Editor in Blood Ties: A Tale of Jango and Boba Fett, Part 1 (of 4), Randy says:
“This was going to be a one-off miniseries about Jango and Boba Fett, but after working together for just one issue, writer Tom Taylor and artist Chris Scalf decided decided they wanted to continue the collaboration. So, next year you can look forward to another Blood Ties miniseries featuring another set of famous (or infamous!) Star Wars characters who share a blood bond.”
The Jango and Boba series is set to run through November 24th. Writer Tom Taylor and artist Chris Scalf will work on all four issues.
During the San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year, Randy Stradley announced that eight new Star Wars comic series would be released in 2011. Up to this point 6 series that have yet to see a published issue will appear next year. Invasion and Dark Times could be included in Randy’s lineup. There will also be a special edition of Dark Empire, which will help raise money for artist Cam Kennedy, who is sadly losing his eyesight.

Next year os going to rule
Legacy War (need I say any more then that)
Knight Errant (JJM’s triaphant return to Star Wars)
CRIMSON FREAKIN EMPIRE 3 Loved the first one thought the second one was okay but all it really did for me at least is set up the New Jedi Order series and left a cliff hanger on a cool charecter that I thought I would never see again great to see I was wrong
WELCOME BACK KIR KANOS
I have not read the Jango Boba story yet and while I like the artist and Tom Taylor and I like Jango and Boba both I do not know about get the individal issues for this one
as for a sequel the possobiloties are endless
lets seee
Qel-Droma family (this would be nice I was a big fan of Ulic Qel Droma when I was reading Tales of the jedi)
Sunrider family (I know Alex Irvin has that book coming out some time in the next two years but this is still a good possibility besides I think Vama Sunrider is way under used which is a huge shame)
Shan Family (techenilly we alreay have this with TOR but I want to know more about Satele Shan and if she really has Blood Ties to Darth Revan)
Hylocrn/Horn family (any story with any member of this Jedi family would be cool beacuse outside of Corran Horn I think the rest of the family is under used)
Fel Family (I have liked these guys pretty much since day one they are proof that even the Galatic Empire can produce heroes that leave their mark on Star Wars Baron Fel Jagged Fel Roan Fel Sia Fel this would be good no matter who they use)
Skywalker/Solo Clan
Anakin
Luke
Leia
Han
Mara
Jacen/Jaina/Anakin
Ben
Allana
Nat/Kol
Morrigan
Cade
lots of possible blood ties here only two problems
1 we are getting plenty of Luke and Ben in Fate of the Jedi which will end next year so if they do choose to use Ben I want the other charecter to be Mara or one of Ben’s grandsons
2 Cade will be easy or difficult to use depending on how War ends
2011 is going to be good for comics and books I am excited
