The Dark Side of the Force is strong here!
THE PATH TO THE DARK SIDE
This is a great comic book but while it's a "Supreme Leader Snoke" issue...
...it's Kylo Ren who makes this story truly great.
Snoke takes Kylon Ren in a trip to increase his training in the Dark Side of the Force...
...and their destination is...
...Dagobah!!!
Kylo Ren has to go into the infamous cave where Luke had to deal with his greatest fear.
Kylo Ren will have to face those who were in his way to embrace the Dark Side of the Force...
...but is clear that Snoke is somebody who is in the path of Kylo Ren, but the skill of Snoke of reading Kylo Ren's mind is a major difficulty...
...you will learn the first steps of Kylo Ren to deal with that problem...
...but...
...also unmasking something big about the most inner feelings of Kylo Ren!

An enjoyable and quick read although it was more about Kylo Ren than Snoke, I was hoping to finally see some backstory!

This really exceeded my expectations. What I thought would be one of my least favorite stories out of this line of comics has become my favorite at the moment.

4 ⭐'s To The Galaxy!!!
It was hard to see the abuse, manipulation, and degradation.
This story I admit, I was expecting to be more about Snoke, but alas, it was insight to Kylo Ren/Ben Solo.
Thats my only minus 1 star is that I had expectations of it being about one character but it turned into being about another
Still a very enjoyable read.
Kylo/Ben is my best boy.

More of a Kylo Ren story than anything else, failed to add anything to the character, he still remains a cheaper version of Palpatine.

This might be my favorite comic ever. Snoke’s stupid confidence in Ben’s dark side is the best.

As I expected, this wasn't a Snoke comics so much as a Snoke and Kylo Ren comic. But this delivered on showing the type of training I was expecting to see in The Last Jedi, after Snoke had mentioned at the end of The Force Awakens that it was time for Kylo to complete his training. Making it a trip to the cave on Dagobah was a great touch, and I also loved the stuff at the beginning. I'm still not quite sure when this takes place in relation to Kylo's fallout with Luke. But it's clear that Kylo is still struggling with his love for his parents. And we see bit of what Kylo will end up trying to do to Snoke later on. Your mileage may vary on whether or not it works to show this here.

As with the Phasma comic, calling this one "Snoke" is a bit of a misnomer because it's really about Kylo Ren. We see Ren on Dagobah in the cave of nightmares, facing off against his fears and it was a punch to the gut if I've ever seen one.

i will fight snoke (and hence palps) with my BARE HANDS for what he did to Ben Solo
September 12, 2019
This is incredibly hard to read. Poor Ben :'(

4 STARS
Despite the short length, i feel like this comic still revealed a lot about the dymamic between snoke and ben/kylo, which was much needed.
And though it's called "supreme leader snoke", don't be fooled, this comic is clearly about kylo and serves the purpose of adding to his backstory (which was well done and definitely helped me further understand his character).
Also, i've noticed there was a lot of emphasis on snoke's ring...hmmm.

"It was okay / I liked it." - 2.5 star rating, with a round up to a 3.
A mediocre Kyle Run and Snoke comic, that is strong enough to barely cross the finish line as a 3-star rating.
Stan Lee has a really amazing "Stan's Soapbox" found within this comic about the power of love that is really moving. Definitely a big highlight for this issue.
Really enjoying these Star Wars comic book 'one-shots' and will continue to pursue these for the time being.

If you read it, read it for Kylo, not your Snoke theory. (IMO, they’re not going to dive into that until after TROS’ release.)
Maybe it should have been titled more accurately as “Snoke: Kylo’s Training”?
Too short, just when it got going it was over.

Kylo Ren en la cueva de Dagobah mientras Snoke le va increpando a lo Yoda chungo. Curioso.
September 29, 2019
A very well-written tale, capturing the voice of both characters as best as it could and fleshing them out in the process.

This was much more about Kylo Ren than Snoke, but it was still fun to read.
October 22, 2020
The comic says Snoke but the protagonist is Ben and how tortured he was by Snoke. One of the best comics from the sequels era.
November 4, 2021
Wow. I was on the verge of tears reading this. My poor Kylo.
January 5, 2022
Had nothing to do with Snoke. Comics are so funny sometimes.
March 15, 2022
I liked how it explored Kylo even though Snoke is the titular character and for him this didn't do much.

сука у комиксов по звёздным войнам нет никакого права быть настолько хорошо написанными
September 11, 2019
Great comic about the training Snoke put Kylo Ren through.
It really shows why Kylo Ren hated Snoke so much, but it almost felt like more of a Kylo Ren comic and Smoke was just there being mean.
But I would recommend to any star wars fans who wants to learn more about our new characters.

It's very interesting how Kylo Ren reacted when he saw his parents.
But this comic book can´t explaine who is Snoke. Shame on it.
