Nice ending with some twists and pretty much a story that you'd like to see as a tv episode too, if only there was a Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi tv show. Fun read.

Az Ord Mantelles sztori (Yie.36) már star warsosabb: egyszerű kaland, melyben meg kell menteni néhány élőlényt jó Jedihez méltóan és megbüntetni a gonoszokat. Qui-gon és Obi-van párbeszédei ismét sziporkázóak, jók a csatajelenetek is.
Nagyon szépen rajzolt, a tájak, eszközök pofásak, Qui-gon általában elég jól ábrázolt, bár van 1-2 fura beállítása. Obi-van ábrázolása valahogy hullámzóbb (most nem tudom komolyan ez most személyi/szerzői jogok miatt? vagy másért de önmagában jó, csak nem hasonlít a filmbelire). A harci jelenetek is szépen rajzoltak.

"It was amazing." - 5 out of 5 star rating.
I love it when stories flip who the heroes and villains are and keep the reader on their toes. "Bad guys" or are just mindless demons/zombies that are just bad to be bad, just feel so weak and empty.
When from a certain point of view you can relate to them and/or understand why they think they are the hero of their own story - this is great writing. Thanos comes to mind for example. "Half." From one angle... he has a point... from another, he is evil incarnate.
We get this here and it is beautiful. Simple as that.
I was sitting at 4-stars for this... until the very end where QGJ pulls a Mace Windu. If you read this, you'll know exactly what I am talking about and have a flash back of when you first saw Attack of the Clones and your jaw fell to the floor during that scene. This 1000% pushed this comic to the 5-star realm.
These QGJ and Obi comics are all receiving the best-in-class tag. They are absolutely that good.

Visually, this worked great. This miniseries expands on the prequel aesthetics and Ord Mantell truly comes alive here. The action sequences are clear and well-executed and as far as I'm concerned, there simply cannot be too many Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan stories.
Which is why I'm sorry to say the writing didn't quite cut it for me. The initial setup is intriguing enough and some of the themes introduced here felt pretty original, even if the plot often gets way too "talky". The internal logic simply didn't hold up for me and the resolution therefore felt a bit flat.
My biggest issue, however, was the characterization. While the duo certainly looks the part, they don't really act the part. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan feel like a generic Master-Padawan pairing that could have been swapped out for any other Jedi without changing the story. Without their typical dynamic, this ends up being a great looking comic, that is narratively pretty hollow. Truly a missed opportunity.

Nice side quest for one of my favourite duos - Qui Gon & Obi Wan! I think the threat level could have been slightly higher, but it was a decent enough mission that made sense for exploring the duos mentor/mentee relationship. Nothing to really complain about.

Even Qui-gon has his limits for how much stupid and illogical thinking he can take before he decides it warrants use of a lightsaber.

Felt a bit rushed, Qui-Gon was being quite Qui-Gon though

Not bad. Much more entertaining than the Aurorient Express.
