Story not quite as engaging as it's counterpart (Star Wars Annual #1), nice little plot twist in the middle but otherwise relatively straightforward and predictable with the conclusion. Main gripe is the artwork and the lack of details, especially on the background of the panels. Swaths of blank, washed over with a single color.

Daniel Craig's gritty style of James Bond meets the Star Wars universe. Story has multiple tiny turns that make it a fun adventure. Personally I enjoyed the art except for the Emperor. Last part describing the Emperor as "perfect" was chillingly accurate. Fun short diversion.

I really wanted to love this debut issue more, the artwork at times is magnificent, the colours even more so. The characters and plot are intriguing enough to keep me wanting to dig some more to figure out what this plot of revenge is about and the fury of these women scorned. But what throws me off completely is the pacing of the story, it just seems haphazard. The issue is not the dialogue or prose but rather the numerous jump cuts of each scene. Perhaps it would make more sense if the story were presented in a non-linear fashion, but quick jump cuts in linear succession makes each scene of the book rather rough and not fleshed out. Can't quite commit it to my pull list, but I'll be picking up the next issue to see what happens next.
