Anyone picked up any of the book or comic tie-ins - Aftermath, Lost Stars, etc.? Any of these worth picking up?

I picked up the comic. Didn't go much of anywhere, other than to say that there's a lot more empire to go around.

After reading some Amazon reviews of the book, I decided to go with a story summary instead. I guess it's not what people were expecting.

I just started reading "Aftermath." It's pretty good so far. An interesting thing I'm noticing is that there are already several references and mentions of Prequel and Clone Wars era stuff - names, places, etc.

Not surprising, but it flies in the face of morons who think Disney/Lucasfilm are ignoring the Prequels.

I bought them all, started on Aftermath.

The book is not what I envisioned at all, but it has its good spots. It sort of follows a lot of different story arcs, with a small Empire faction and a family on the fringes of the conflict. The author writes with a lot of parentheses, which I find odd, and an element that pulls you out of the story.

Lost Stars is getting a lot of praise on the twitter people I follow, and to a lesser extent, so is Weapon of the Jedi.
