I enjoyed this series overall and I suspect it's one that will read a lot better when done in trade/full form to take in. It's the kind of story that I could see being done well as an hour-long episode within the old TV series framework and being interesting but largely forgettable in the long run compared to other tales. I like what we get here with Anakin and his search for the right path, though we know how it was going to go so there's only so much use in focusing on that too much. The win for me was getting some new solid story material for Obi-wan and five issues of utterly beautiful artwork from Checchetto and Mossa. Honestly, even though the story is mediocre at best, these elements drove it up a few notches to make it better than it would have been in other hands. Read Full Review

As much good as the first 4 issues did for the prequel era, this final issue shows how hard it can be to tell good Star Wars stories in that era. Read Full Review

The best Star Wars comic series that Nu-Marvel has produced.

*Spoiler alert* -- Soule sets the timeline up to be very immediate and dire, but as a result has to result to contrived means to resolved the plot. Anakin 'builds' four or five speeders. The comic's wording an content suggests that he builds them out of the scrap laying around in a couple minutes, which is ridiculous, so it is more likely that he just fixed the CPUs as he did with the mechs. Let's pretend that is the case, we still have the problem that Obi-wan sent out a signal that was answered across space with a full fleet instantaneously. This is a Republic that is constantly marred in bickering politics, but the second that they hear that there may be some sort of resource, literally, the second that they hear it, they drop everything, authorize an entire fleet to zap across the galaxy (which, even at light speed, takes a while) and annex an independent planet and break up a civil war? Preposterous! Also, Sera is a freakin' idiot to think the kids would be totes cool with genociding their own families and tribesmen. I understand that she's been in isolation for a long time, but did she really think that plan would work? An otherwise great series is weighed down by cheap writing at the end, and it's a shame because the character development that Anakin goes through is interesting and this was shaping up to be one of the better Star Wars mini-series to come out from Marvel thus far; quite a surprise when you consider that it occupies prequel territory. more
