About the author
John Ostrander
2,079 books178 followersJohn Ostrander is an American writer of comic books. He is best known for his work on Suicide Squad, Grimjack and Star Wars: Legacy, series he helped create.
Originally an actor in a Chicago theatre company, Ostrander moved into writing comics in 1983. His first published works were stories about the character "Sargon, Mistress of War", who appeared the First Comics series Warp!, based on a series of plays by that same Chicago theatre company. He is co-creator of the character Grimjack with Timothy Truman, who originally appeared in a back up story in the First Comics title, Starslayer, before going on to appear in his own book, again published by First Comics in the mid 1980s. First Comics ceased publication in 1991, by which time Ostrander was already doing work for other comics companies (his first scripts for DC Comics were published in 1986).
Prior to his career in comic books, Ostrander studied theology with the intent of becoming a Catholic priest, but now describes himself as an agnostic. His in-depth explorations of morality were later used in his work writing The Spectre, a DC Comics series about the manifestation of the wrath of God. His focus on the character's human aspect, a dead police detective from the 1930s named Jim Corrigan, and his exploration of moral and theological themes brought new life to a character often thought of as impossible to write. He has also worked on Firestorm, Justice League, Martian Manhunter, Manhunter, Suicide Squad, and Wasteland for DC.

The best issue of the force storm series.
Artwork? Stunning
Seeing parts of the plot connect back to what was mentioned in the beginning of the series was very nice. I'm excited to see how this is expanded on in the prisoner of bogan series.

"It was amazing." - 5 out of 5 star rating.
What can I say... I am a sucker for these Rakatan Infinite Empire comics based pre-The Old Republic. I took a step left in the timeline for this series, but that's okay. I get more Xesh, more Trill, more Predor action, and more Tho Yor deep dive/backstory.
This was a strong finish to a really fun collection of comics in one of my favorite eras of Star Wars. Perfectly sets up the following steps of Xesh's journey, which I have already completed at the time of this review.
Huge win here.
Hopeful that whatever comic series I land on next is close to as good as this.

Oh my god, this is so awesome. I cannot wait to keep reading these Dawn of the Jedi comics. There is so much empathy in the Journeyers and Xesh’s transformation and the discovery of his painful past is brutal. They are right to want to help him and right that sending him to Bogan would not do any good. But even at this time it seems the Je’daii were set in their ways and I can only imagine what is to come.

The final issue of the Force Storm series definitely did not disappoint. It's hard explain any of the plot without giving away spoilers. But I am definitely excited to see where the next volume will take these characters.
