Whats the relationship of the stories portrayed in the Dark Horse X- wing comics and the X-wing novels?
Short answer: The comics are prequels to the novels. Long answer: In preparing to do a series of books, most authors put together a lot of background on their characters. I’d done that for the X- wing books, so when Dark Horse approached me about working on the comic, I saw the comic stories as a great place to actually make use of some of that material. The comic stories, then, provide background information on and details about some of the earlier adventures of the members of Rogue Squadron.
