Great review. I read and enjoyed the series as it came out in a monthly format.

Unfortunately, the Marvel Star Wars comics have had too many instances of tracing gone wrong or poor attempts at recreating the faces of the actors. Larroca is by far the biggest culprit, but Deodato Jr. is also know for a lot of distracting tracing. Eventually, Deodato's comics will have a character that is obviously Ed Harris or Harvey Keitel!

I think the following volume of Darth Vader, by Charles Soule and Giuseppe Camuncolli, was even better. Highly recommend if you haven't read it.

Thank you for reading! Agreed, I think a lot of the modern Star Wars comics have had issues with their artwork which is a shame because some of them have really great stories.

I read the Charles Soule comics ages ago and liked them even better than this series, but I’m waiting for there to be another omnibus reprint so I can give them a proper review. I’m sure it’ll happen eventually given their popularity.

For the time being I’m going to be reading a few of the Legends comics and I have a brand new copy of Tales of the Jedi omnibus to get through. That’ll likely be the next one I review, so stay tuned!
