  • In 1997 - 1998, Dark Horse released the Crimson Empire comic series by writers Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley and art done by Paul Gulacy, P. Craig Russell, Sean Konot, and Dave Stewart. An audiodrama was released in 1999 with a whole new team separate from the Dark Empire audiodramas. This definitive edition combines the two along with adding some new music by John Williams and Mark Griskey. Enjoy!

    These motion comics are really good quality hopefully Disney don't decide to be dicks and make you take them down, thanks for all the uploads brilliant work, not seen some of them since reading them years ago lol I knew some were on here but the sound and resolution left a bit to be desired, but yours are top quality so thanks again

      @MrPoke  2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Disney won't take these down unless they renew their contracts with Time Warner/Highbridge and NPR, which they haven't since 2017 I believe. They did renew their contract with Bantham audio so I just think they don't care about these audiodramas.
      Thanks for noticing the high audio quality! That's the reason I decided to make these, to give justice to these stories in the highest quality possible.
