Rated T
Every Star Wars fan needs more Thrawn in their life! He's so strategic and intelligent, it's just fun to see how his mind works. Seeing him next to Anakin/Vader is such a fun mix. One relies on instincts, the force and quick thinking, while the other calculates every single move, and always seems to be playing chess, while everyone else is playing tic tac toe. If you are a casual, or die hard Star Wars fan, you should definitely add this Thrawn run to your pull list! Read Full Review
Star Wars: Thrawn Alliances #2 has Thrawn and Darth Vader caught in a deadly brawl against unknown enemies in the past and present. Where the first issue was more plot-oriented, this one is more action-oriented with both storylines. The comic continues to do a good job of highlighting the dynamics between Thrawn and Vader in their personalities, how they plan, and the ways they fight separately and together. While not much progress was made in their primary mission, Thrawn and Vader still make some progress as they find the next clues to hunting down their target. Read Full Review
This isn't to say any specific element about the book is poor, more that the prevailing sentiment is that this is just a sidequest for all of the figures involved that serve more as a detour rather than a journey worth embarking upon. Read Full Review
This issue felt jumbled without any new information coming out of it. At times it was just silly. Specifically, Vader and Thrawn getting encased in concrete and Anakin animating the corpse were both just ludicrous. The back and forth between the two stories was almost dizzying. It was like every other page. There was no rhyme or reason for cutting between them. I hope this gets better.
