A five-issue anthology, this was an enjoyable, well-written (if short) look at some of my favourite childhood villains from the prequel trilogy. And Jango Fett. And the robot guy with the arms. The first story chronicles the continued angry misadventures of our favourite metalhead, Maul. A direct continuation of the excellent five-issue run of Darth... Continue Reading →
Somehow I managed to miss out on talking about the final issue of the previous volume, The Last Padawan, reviewed last week here.

Now, nine months after I... Continue Reading →
There, I said it. That's all there is to it. What's this? I should probably give you a little more than that? Persuade you, you say. Alright, don't get your feathers ruffled like so, I'll do it. I've taken the initiative now. Volume 01: Awakening has a unique art style, slick and gorgeous, showcasing the... Continue Reading →
