X-Wing: Rogue Squadron: Masquerade by: Michael A. Stackpole art by: Drew Johnson and Gary Hall(pencils), Gary Martin(inks), Dave Nestelle(colors)

Summary:   There are few occupations more dangerous than flying an X-Wing fighter for the Rebel Alliance, but Rogue Squadron is about to discover that diplomacy can be more deadly than a fleet of Star Destroyers! Sate Pestage, the interim Emperor, is losing his grip upon the Galactic Empier and seeks contact with Princess Leia to negotiate his defection to the Alliance in return for offering up the keys to the Imperial Throneworld of Coruscant. But Pestage's moves have been anticipated by Ysanne Isard, the woman who would take the Empire's reins for herself, and a letha; game of chess ensues with the fate of the Empire -- and Rogue Squadron -- hanging in the balance! Review: Good:  A very good comic. Enjoyable, moreso than it's predecessor "Family Ties". I enjoyed the building relationship between Tycho and Winter. My only problem was artwork. It was a tad iffy, the characters looked too young, too different from previous ones, but better than we saw in "Requiem for a Rogue" but I still prefer the work of Nadeau. Back to the Rebellion Era. Back to Star Wars Eras.
