Star Wars: Age Of The Republic: General Grievous #1

Jody Houser brings the Age of the Republic run to a close and I'm excited to see what's next in the Age of the Rebellion. This run has been solid overall with interesting smaller one-off stories that help to flesh out a sprawling and massive universe. Grievous isn't all that memorable of a character to those that only saw the films but he's one that I've enjoyed through the Clone Wars works and liked the expansion that we got. I do wish we had a proper novel/series exploration for him to map out his existence since I think there's a lot of neat things to do there and what Houser and Ross presented here is a good way at looking at one of his core personality traits.

The visuals are great and the story so-so for this final Age of Republic one-shot. Grievous seeks something, but is unprepared for what he finds. I wish the story would have had solidified the character's mission, had some more modern deterrents, and the McGuffin been better explained. The visuals are fantastic, though. I really need to see Ross on a monthly Marvel saga. This is okay reading, but won't convert fence sitters into fans. Read Full Review

Plenty of action, I do wish that it told us a little bit more about Grievous, but we got to see him look cool. Its a very quick read because it just doesn't seem like there is much dialogue.
