In the days of the High Republic, the Jedi are at the height of their power. But the emergence of the piratical, anarchic Nihil proves that even the most successful peace is fragile, and the Jedi's influence is neither as pervasive nor as benevolent as they would believe.

All the while, they'll face suspicion and outright opposition from a group of subversive citizens who resent and fear the Jedi. Two of those citizens, Zeen and Krix, will have to decide whether to accept the Padawans' aid or try to save the day on their own.

4/10:
Again, I‘m disappointed in the writing of Daniel José Older. The collected issues here have way too much forced comedy (that isn‘t even funny) and the story is mediocre at best. The art feels so squished and lacks detail everywhere, even the individual characters change appearances here and there. I appreciate that I finally got to see Yoda in action during this era of Star Wars, but overall I‘m fairly disappointed.

Jgotham Makes me worried now for his upcoming adult novel 2y
LMAN8BSA Trust me, I agree. There‘s almost none of his writing I‘ve enjoyed. He‘s got a passion for the universe though, that‘s for sure 2y
TieDyeDude I'm quite backlogged on the High Republic comics. This was the one series I have been reading, and I agree, this first arc was disappointing. 2y
