We've got the end of a Republic, a space bug versus an old ghost, a multi-limbed assassin, and doomed team-ups hitting comic stores today.
Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic #50
The final issue! The saga of Zayne Carrick -- the Padawan-turned-undercover-and-unexpected-hero -- ends in this last issue of the series that has been a part of the Dark Horse Star Wars line since 2006! Zayne and the Mandalorian Rohlan rush to aid their friend Jarael against the demented scientist Demagol and the vicious slaver Chantique. If they can arrive in time, there is a chance that everything will turn out in their favor-but with Zayne's ever-awkward connection to the Force, nothing is certain.
Green Lantern #51
The most epic battle in BLACKEST NIGHT yet comes to a shocking conclusion as Hal Jordan makes the ultimate move to take on the Black Lantern Spectre. But what price comes with the unleashing of Parallax? And what does this mean for the future of the emotional spectrum's avatars?
Chase Variant One-Shot (Is All I Need) (One-Shot)
Comics industry gossip columnist, Doctor Who writer and creator of Watchmensch, RICH JOHNSTON joins with 2000AD's BAGWELL and Heavy Metal's SAVERIO TENUTA for a very different kind of comic. A balls-to-the-wall blockbuster action comic starring the four-armed genetically altered assassin, Chase Variant, as she tries to fulfill her missions while stopping rival governments from trying to collect her for themeselves. But all the time her every action is predicted by a very familiar card game being played by unknown assailants, challenging Chase's belief in self-determinism. This is Michael Bay meets Rene Descartes, TOMB RAIDER meets ANNIE HALL.
Doomwar #1
Wakanda has been conquered, its Vibranium reserves plundered -- and Storm faces execution in the next 48 hours. Dr. Doom stands triumphant. It will take the combined forces of the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and the two Black Panthers to stand against him. A war has begun that will pit the world's most relentless super-villain against a collection of the world's most powerful super heroes -- one that will span the globe, offering twists and turns and surprise players (hello, Deadpool!) that neither side will see coming.

Daytripper #1
With Daytripper, Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá follow in the tradition of Craig Thompson, Paul Pope and David Mazzucchelli -- cartoonists at the top of their game making comics about the quiet moments that ask big questions. Brás de Oliva Domingos is an obituary writer with a famous father, a career he hates, and tons of questions. How does a person become a successful writer? How does a man get out of his father's shadow? But those concerns will dwarf the surprise he'll find in the first issue -- a twist both he and readers will never see coming, which will grow into a mystery about the meaning of life itself.
God Complex #1
The co-creator of Powers and Mice Templar, Michael Avon Oeming brings you magic, monsters and GODS. Meet Paul, he's an everyday kind of guy. He's kinda tall, kinda strong and kinda not mortal at all.

So, for Paul, being a god is complex, and dangerous.
