If you don't like the prequels, they end on page 22 of this book. That means you'll get 88 pages of non-prequel action, and maybe that's enough to get you to try one set during the Clone Wars.


On the other hand, if you watched the Clone Wars series, you know it was mostly awesome, if you're watching Rebels, you know its mostly awesome, and this is a simply told tale of a Jedi and his master, which is mostly awesome. There's fine messaging for younger readers about questioning why things are the way they are. There's also fine art by Pepe Larraz. I'm not familiar with his work before this, but he's got a clean style that fits in very well with Marvel's Young Guns crew. His inks are particularly good if that's your thing. The only problem with the book is that there are about 16 different Dark Horse titles over the last 23 years that have walked over this same territory. Hopefully we'll move past that next issue.
