Star Wars: The High Republic #13

It's impossible to reach the end of the issue and not want to pick up the next chapter. The scope, artistry and excitement of The High Republic has really built up over the past year and this comic has been on the forefront in both quality and importance. It is such a gift to have comic books be such a vital part of world-building for the larger Star Wars universe. Read Full Review

While the material with the Nihil falls a bit flat as I don't think they've been handled well overall in laying out who they are at this point, I do like what we get here in showing some of the chaotic hierarchical elements of it. And why Lounra can run roughshod over so much of the Tempest Runners. The real focus is on Avar here and it helps that we had a dialogue-driven issue the last time around to let us get a handled on the characters a bit more. As she falls more to her emotions and basically wanting to deal with those who have killed and destroyed so much in a clear and simple fashion, it puts her in a place where she likely realizes just how bad she's gotten but can't stop herself from this path because the problem needs to be dealt with in this manner. It's nicely done with some really strong visuals as she goes up against Lourna. Read Full Review

This is a darn good issue of a darn good series. Avar Kriss was kinds boring me at first and now she's on eof the best characters in the book. The action scenes are awesome here. All around great stuff. Id love to see some of these guys in live action or elsewhere.

So I love the plot line here but the biggest burden that holds most Star Wars books back is that the authors really don’t understand light and Dark side enough. The author of this book isn’t the only one to do it. Good Jedi fallto the dark side too quickly or give in way to easy or in reality they are not morally but it’s presented as they are. It’s all done as plot convenience then some living breathing thing like Luke dealt with. But if you get past the fidillness of this the book is rather good.
