Reviews

[Jesús De la Jara · Rating 4 out of 5]

En esta parte del cómic el jedi Farzala es casi el principal protagonista de la historia. Ya estamos en la batalla de Eriadu; y muchos Jedis participan en la batalla como Farzala, Qort, Kantam, Yaddle, Emerick, Tani. También están varios civiles que hemos conocido en los cómics de Adventures.
Por el lado Nihil, gracias a un recuerdo del guardián (Warden), por fin conocemos su nombre: Herwint Tiks. Él fue entrenado por la general Viess y ahora prepara la destrucción entera del planeta.
Al parecer las flotas de ambos lados están por llegar y eso ayudará a terminar el conflicot.
En el especial de "La Batalla de Eriadu" se enfrentan Gavi Takitaken y Driggit Parse. También está Crash y su equipo. Es muy emotivo las motivaciones, acciones y encuentro final entre ambos ex amigos. Por esto le doy más puntaje.

I loved THRA #14-#16 but The Battle of Eriadu one shot had my whole heart. The friendship between Driggit and Gavi, Gavi calling Kildo "the boy I love", I have cried so hard this whole one-shot I love these babies so much.

Thanks to Edelweiss for an ARC.
It always feels amazing to read a Star Wars graphic novel. I enjoyed the art and the storyline in this book. The first half felt a bit dry, but I found the last ten pages to be well-executed and it left a good aftertaste. Fans will enjoy it. Read it!

A solid addition to a great run, excited to finish up.

Was not expecting Kassav's piece of shit ass to have this lasting of an impact on this era, but here we are with Eriadu on the brink of destruction because he mistimed the arrival of an emergence.

Or I guess Marchion Ro might have just given him the wrong path... so really it's all because of him.

Bravo, Mark
