Rated T
Jody Houser does a great job of this issue and captures Dooku's voice so well that when I was reading the book. I could hear the dialogue being spoken by the Late Christopher Lee in my head. I also quite enjoyed that we are seeing the start of Dooku's descent to the Dark Side in this book. The panel where he tells the Wookiee not to tell anyone about his visions is a great setup. I can't wait to see how it plays out Read Full Review
Ross delivers some great art in the issue. I love the look of the characters and the attention to detail of the world. Read Full Review
Dooku is a character that I always feel a bit complicated toward because the film version didn't hit well and the name is just ugh, but the expansion through Clone Wars and the novels as well as the recent Tales of the Jedi series has done a lot of great fleshing out. Getting to see Jody Houser work this path as well is exciting as they're a great writer and the way this issue works is fantastic. It has a good and natural flow, even with framing I usually hate seeing, as it spends the right kind of time seeding the small things rather than it all feeling like a big dump of information. Ross' take on a younger Dooku is pretty strong as well, especially as it leans into capturing more of that lightness to his personality that we learned about through Qui-Gon being his padawan. Hopefully, we see some of that more openly here as well, but regardless, this is a solid story start. Read Full Review
