Threat of Peace Announced

Friday BioWare announced a collaboration with Dark Horse comics to release a number of web comics (for free no less) featuring a storyline of the events leading up to Star Wars: The Old Republic. Here's the announcement:

Dark Horse has joined forces with LucasArts and BioWare™ to create a new comic series, published entirely online, to introduce both the gaming and comics worlds to the upcoming massively multiplayer online game Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. Debuting this month, Star Wars: The Old Republic - Threat of Peace will feature action-packed, character-driven episodes written by BioWare’s Rob Chestney and published by Dark Horse. The stories will span the three decades from the pivotal signing of the Treaty of Coruscant to critical events at the beginning of the game.

Sounds like it could be interesting to read. They've said to expect the first one by the end of this month, so not too long to wait.
