    This issue ends in the midst of one the most tragic parts of this Phase. Vildar Mac seems to be finally getting a grip on what is happening, but with the Order of the Open Hand still pulling tricks, there are bound to be more horrible surprises on Jedhas horizon. Read Full Review

    I really wanted to get into the nature of Jedha and how things work but we've gone so hard and fast into how many different groups there are and just very basic to no idea about the why of the issues between them that when it hits the action it just feels like noise and chaos. It's put together well here to make for an engaging enough read while trying to sort out who is who but I wish we had a bit more time to sink our teeth into the characters and location before hitting things up in a big way here. I'm curious to see how The Path of the Open Hand will be utilized depending on what they're after tho, but it is just another group amid a lot of different ones already. It definitely looks good and handles covering so many different events in quick order so there's a plus there as well. Read Full Review

    Some fans are sure to appreciate that overwhelming feeling, and it's difficult to say it's a poor issue, based on how evocative the entire narrative was, but it could have served the story better had it deliver a more cohesive narrative to make the overall throughlines a bit more obvious.
