Marvel's Star Wars: Jedi Knights debuts and it's a case where the hype wasn't wrong. The series captures the Jedi Order before the events of the prequel trilogy, sporting a case of familiar faces, some new ones and a fair amount of intrigue. It's a superb debut and is going to be a fun read month in and month out.
Dark Horse's long delayed first Hyperspace Stories: Qui-Gon original graphic novel has arrived and the creative team has weaved a truly unique story that melds flashbacks, callbacks to The High Republic, certain myths and fables as well as space-borne suspense in a story that builds upon the Qui-Gon Jinn lore and features Obi-Wan Kenobi and Count Dooku, too.
And after the comics discussion, stay on for a new segment that we're trying out. We think you'll like it.
