Zayne and his friends must solve the mystery and find what has been causing the tragic and disturbing deaths -- before they also become victims.

Feb 18, 2009And I have to say, a decent set of pencils really makes all the difference with KOTOR. Even if I found the art to be technically proficient in past reviews, the general style of this series always strikes me as wrong. Star Wars needs a certain level of grit and realism in its visuals, otherwise it's not really Star Wars at all. Dean Zachary fulfills this need nicely. The characters are rendered in a far more realistic manner than usual. The heavy use of shadows works well with the issue's general sense of foreboding. All in all, I really hope to see more work from Zachary on this series. Issue #38 proves there's life o be had with KOTOR, but only when the various pieces work with in tandem and not against each other. Read Full Review

Somewhat entertaining one off story for the main characters. It's a nice Serial Killer whodunnit with a decent enough twist. The art also is different in this one and more gritty I wouldn't call it a total improvement.
