Zeen has followed the Jedi to the Starlight Beacon, where she learns what it means to be a padawan and begins her own training of her Force powers. Meanwhile, Krix tries to survive on a Nihil ship, fighting their way through a Republic blockade, as he wonders who the mysterious person who rescued him truly is.
Writer Daniel José Older, bestselling author of Star Wars: Last Shot, and artist Harvey Tolibao bring IDW into The High Republic, a massive publishing crossover spanning comics and prose!
This is the book where we see the largest amount of Nihil and the general Jedi order within their respective worlds and it is everything we'd imagine. It is an interesting juxtaposition of this massive Jedi order against the scrappy nests of Nihil. Thankfully all of this is just the beginning as The High Republic era and Daniel Jose Older's involvement in the Star Wars Universe are just getting started. Read Full Review
I continue to enjoy this series which has been slowly building to what I feel will be a very climatic finale. This book is packed full of Jedi and force users displaying all kinds of powers but underneath it all is a deep and meaningful story about friendship and trust. Read Full Review
Older continues to find ways to create characters that young readers can connect with and learn from, while never sacrificing the stakes of the story. Read Full Review
This series is... complicated. It's leagues better than IDW's other Star Wars series, but it's still lacking in some ways. These characters are extremely engaging and interesting (particularly how Zeen's story was seemingly an allegory for being LGBTQ and living in an unaccepting environment), but it's so barebones that it barely does anything with all that potential. The most consistent thing about it is the art, which is very good for an IDW Star Wars series. Harvey Tolibao and Rebecca Nalty are doing very well. I'm hoping the series gets better next issue, since it's pretty much locked in to actually doing something because of that cliffhanger, but we'll see. Read Full Review
An average comic that has the potential to be building up to something more. Read Full Review
Decent story with pretty art, but overall the series is a little slow-moving for my tastes. I'll probably switch to trades after this first arc is over unless something blows me away in the next few issues.
