Dark Horse, $2.50
Short Review: All right, for what it is.
Dark Horse have never been one to ignore their film licenses line, and the star wars one is being mined particularly deeply. The is the first issue of the third (of an unlimited number) mini-series about the rise of the empire, and the drawing of two Jedi Knights to the dark side. The fact that there's two of them ought to give certain hints as to whether they'll return to good before the end. The series starts pretty much where the previous left off, but there's enough material weaved into the story to gather who's who and why. It's skillfully told, but the characterisation is the standard good-men-made-evil stuff, and the plot is probably more meaningful if you're a full Star Wars fan.
