On a visit to a planet about to be enslaved by the Empire, Princess Leia comes to the fateful conclusion that impassioned speeches and diplomatic missions may not be enough.

1st printing. Collects Star Wars Infinities: The Empire Strikes Back (2002) #1-4. Written by DAVID LAND. Art by DAVIDÉ FABBRI and CHRISTIAN DELLA VECCHIA. Take the events and characters from one of the classic Star Wars films, throw in one happenstance, mishap, or technical glitch beyond the characters' control, and watch how that changes everything. In Dark Horse's first foray into Infinities (A New Hope), Luke Skywalker's valiant torpedo attack on the Death Star failed due to a faulty detonator - an event no one could have foreseen - and the Rebellion was dealt a debilitating setback. In Infinitie _The Empire Strikes Back, Han Solo's desperate attempt to locate his friend Luke in the icy wastes of the planet Hoth is thwarted when the tauntaun he's riding succumbs to the cold while Han is still a mile from Luke's location. Han arrives too late, barely in time to hear Luke's dying words about Jedi training and the planet Dagobah - Thus begins an adventure far different than the one seen in the motion picture. Along the way, a famous bounty hunter is frozen in carbonite, Han and Chewie are captured on Tatooine by Jabba the Hutt, and Princess Leia and Yoda have a fateful jungle showdown with Darth Vader!

Lois Lane wasn't herself... literally.

"Lois" turned out to be the villain Parasite, who assumed Lois's form to get close to Superman. But in doing so, the Parasite contracted and died from Kryptonite poisoning. Worse, he took the secret of the real Lois' location to his grave! The search for Lois taxes the Man of Steel to his very limit. Unfortunately, while searching for Lois, Superman is weakened by a mysterious ailment and scours Metropolis until he collapses.

It then falls to Batman to conclude the search while Steel, Superboy, Supergirl, and The Atom team-up and miniaturize to actually enter the Man of Steel's dying body. There, the heroes must find the cause of Superman's illness and cure him...if there's still time!

In a remarkable escape, Baron Zemo's Thunderbolts made it off Counter-Earth and through the Void! And now they are standing in Symkaria staring Hawkeye's Thunderbolts in the face! Both teams are shocked to see one another! But before they can enjoy a happy reunion, they must plug the Void from the Earth-616 side. Once that perilous task is complete, the day of reckoning arrives for one Baron Helmut Zemo! Silver Sable wants to arrest him! Citizen V wants to kill him! But they cannot. For he is literally not the same man anymore. As a result the twelve thunderbolts retire to a villa in the Canary Islands to determine what to do next. Amazon, Skein, MACH-3, and Harrier elect to leave the team. While Atlas, Dallas Riordan, Blackheath, Fixer, Moonstone, and Songbird decide to stay. Those six T-Bolts will choose their leader going forward. Surely they will pick the former avenger instead of the Prussian baron with tyrannical tendencies -- right? The first issue of the Thunderbolts ended with a shocking twist. Will the last issue do the same? Cameo appearances by Jim Hammond, Elisabeth Barstow, Jolt, and the Young Allies. (Notes: This issue is effectively the final issue of the first volume of the Thunderbolts as the title is revamped with new characters for issue #76.
