    I'm very curious to see where this series is going to go in exploring what events fall out from the destruction of the Starlight Beacon. You can see familiar threads to the Clone Wars era easily enough but there are different things at work here that will impact it. Just the scale alone and the way that the enemy is so much more known. Soule's script is solidly done with a lot of dialogue and exposition to help fill in some of the blanks but also enough space in the back half to allow it to breathe. Roberson's artwork captures things well and it has the familiar cohesive look that most of the Star Wars books do and that makes for an engaging reading experience. Read Full Review

    Soule once again finds a new nugget of intrigue within the inner workings of the Force, something that seems more improbable each time he does it. Read Full Review
