“How dare you! I made a promise, long ago… a covenant to anyone who could hear my voice. I said we would be a beacon in the darkness. That we would protect those who were afraid. And you… you made me a liar! Maybe words are no longer enough. Maybe a new covenant must be made. A covenant that can never… will never be broken. For light and life!”
Even though I was expecting something different, this volume was intense and it hurt quite a bit.
It is quite the climax of the story we have been following and it delivers quite well with all the little changes and details that we have been seeing in the characters thus far. Making it very satisfactory.
Avar Kriss has been one of my favorite characters from this Chronicles from the moment that she was first introduced and she hasn't disappointed me even once. So, getting to see how she is handling the pressures of the Nihil attacks and chaos is especially interesting to me. This is something we have gotten to see through the issues but it is made all the more clear, perhaps because of the contrast, in this one.
One thing is clear, and that is that this issue goes down hard and sets a definite tonal change in things that is bound to be quite intriguing and have its own set of repercussions.
“And what about you, Jedi? Who is going to make you pay? Oh, yeah. Me.”

I thought this happened after The Fallen Star but apparently, it's before? I'm a little confused with the timeline of the comics at this point.
Aside from that, this was so INTERESTING.

The High Republic #13 by Cavan Scott brings back artist Ario Anindito while it sends our Starlight-Jedi off on a trip to No-Space. Avar Kriss finally manages to catch up with the alleged Eye Lourna Dee and the chase of highly passionate minds comes to its suspenseful conclusion …
Attention: this review contains spoilers as I am discussing the plot in detail!
About the story
The time has come! Avar Kriss’ long-awaited victory of capturing the Eye is near and the fight against the Nihil enters its next phase - in "The Battle of No-Space", Avar aims for the Eye’s neck ... or rather her arm, but we'll get to that later. After defying the Council and her friend Stellan Gios, Avar now travels towards the Great Hall without any of their consent, using a Nihil path engine, Jedi Knight Keeve Trennis and (ex-)Jedi Master Sskeer in tow.
At first, however, we get see the Nihil’s side of events. In my review of issue 12, I positively pointed out how the story focused entirely on the Jedi and that any sort of action had receded into the background. Now we get to learn more about the enemy side of things again, and it perfectly works out within this storyline. We get to take a closer look the Great Hall and we don’t just get to see the Jedi's plan, but also the Nihil's defenses. The two opposing perspectives create tangible tension, and while you may not want to see the Nihil win, you can thus understand their more or less successful defensive efforts a bit better. The first few pages of this issue point out how Marchion Ro simply does not care for his Tempest Runners and the Great Hall. The Tempests plead for his support, but as Lourna knows best, he prefers to leave his crew to its demise while he is entirely safe himself. Seeing the conflict between Eye and Tempest Runners unfold and experiencing Marchion's obscure priorities from their point of views in the comics certainly helps to flesh out his character a bit more, while it also manages to make the Nihil's frustration and confusion at being left alone by their leader more real. In addition, it's always a delight to see members from Lourna's new Tempest that she built from scratch in Tempest Runner pop up.
As per usual, Lourna and Zeetar are disagreeing once again, but this time it is actually Zeetar who is right, even if his escape plan is a little too late. The Ataraxia’s Jedi contingent doesn’t hide that it wants to put an end to Lourna once and for all and shoots first. I genuinely enjoyed the swearing and heated dialogue between Lourna and Zeetar in this part, which immediately accelerated the comic's plot and set the stage for fast-paced action scenes.
In an epic march, the Jedi of the Ataraxia take the stage, and now it is finally Avar Kriss’ development that gets to be in the spotlight, something I’ve longed for for a while. In her very first scene, she slaughters Muglan (too bad, I kind of liked Lourna's Tempest) while voicing the creed "For Light and Life," an eerie contrast to her actions, making her character development all the more striking. Zeetar doesn’t manage to stand up to her for long either, and she burns him down to a crisp before continuing her crusade through the Nihil ship. If you still weren’t worried about Avar by now, you will certainly be reconsidering your feelings reading these pages.
One of my favorite moments from this comic, however, is a very different fight than the hugely advertised showdown between Avar and Lourna – it is the conflict between Jedi and Jedi. Keeve Trennis stands up to Avar and confronts her with her own hypocrisy. Only a short while ago, she took Sskeer’s lightsaber after he murdered Nihil (by the way, Sskeer once again carries a saber in this comic, but it could be one of Keeve's two blades), but now she strikes them down in exactly the same way – however, she does so without a disease that distorts her perception. Yet, Avar doesn't want to be swayed by a Jedi she herself has knighted, and attacks Keeve as well. Avar seems to be completely trapped in her tunnel vision of wanting to win this fight against the Nihil, not even stopping in front of her own friend, and she is no longer the calm and conflict-avoiding person we met at the beginning of the phase. While she is still just as determined as before, that determination may now be her downfall. Luckily, Keeve wins this fight, and Avar is just about to explain something to her about the Song of the Force when an explosion knocks Keeve down. I would have loved to hear what Avar wanted to say ... did the Drengir leave a lasting effect on her perception of the Force after all? Or could she already be sensing that something strange is happening on Starlight right at this moment?
With Keeve being knocked out for the time being, the issue’s tension reaches its peak in the confrontation between Avar and Lourna. Fueled by her rage toward Dee, Avar fights against her hated opponent in a fast-paced action scene, and yet, Lourna manages to knock Avar down in Zeetar's suit first. Accusing Lourna of firing on her own people, Avar has a touching moment of clarity when she takes in the unconscious Keeve laying right next to her. In a way, Avar and Lourna have almost become mirrored images of each other; through her zealous pursuit of the Eye, Avar has actually grown closer and closer to Lourna's deeds than she realized. This seems to wake Avar up from her rampage, but she is undeterred, dismantling Zeetar's armor on a stunning double-page spread using the Force alone. She gives Lourna a chance to surrender (maybe there is hope for Avar, after all?), but Lourna still carries Terec's lightsaber and attacks the Jedi with it, disrupting her composure completely. And as for any good Star Wars story, someone gets to lose a hand – this time it’s Lourna Dee, and this time, it even includes a lightsaber. Although this is not the first lost High Republic hand, and especially not the first Tempest Runner losing a hand, it is somehow always a delight to see the running gag continued. This moment also leads to another pivotal conflict. Lourna is now facing Avar unarmed - and Jedi usually don’t strike down opponents who can't defend themselves. However, Avar seems to care just as little as Anakin once did when it came to Dooku, and thus, issue #13 shows that history will repeat itself time and time again, even within Star Wars.
However, the most significant pages of this comic are the final moments of the issue. Avar's words span an arc back to the first issue of the series - to her speech at Starlight Beacon's dedication ceremony. What wonderful irony that she picks up on those very words and gives them a darker, more worrisome meaning, while on the other side of the galaxy, Starlight is just about to head toward its bitter fall. At last, Avar seems to realize that her actions don't measure up to those of a Jedi, calling herself a liar, leaving us hoping for a more peaceful course of action, but instead of sticking to the actual meaning of her speech, she pulls her saber on the wounded Lourna, leaving me blankly staring at the pages in bewilderment. We’re going to have to wait until next month to find out whether Keeve has the chance to intervene in time, a wait that will surely be as suspenseful as this issue!
I would be extremely sad to see Lourna Dee die, as Tempest Runner has made her one of the most interesting protagonists of the era for me. Yet, with Avar Kriss, Cavan Scott manages to flesh out an equally well-crafted transformation, which has been subtly unfolding over the course of the last few issues, now offering us the chance to re-read them from an entirely new perspective. Above all, I'm curious to see if Avar will come to her senses - we didn't get to know much about her in The Fallen Star, so pretty much all doors are still open for her development. But as exciting as I find Avar's development in the comic series, and as genius as Cavan Scott is at making it feel as real as possible, I also wish I could learn more of her thoughts and experience her defection from the ways of the Jedi from her own perspective as well. Still, I'm happy about every Avar moment I can get, so at the end of this issue, we're left with only one thing to hope for, and that is for Avar Kriss not to meet the same fate as Starlight Beacon ...
About the illustration
A giant plus for the The High Republic series are the fantastic pencils by Ario Anindito. Issue #13 finally marks his return and he will also be illustrating the final two issues of the series! It's always pure fun to experience pages created by Anindito, which are rich in detail from start to finish and never degenerate into blurry or distorted faces even in the background.
Right off the bat, I really enjoyed the visual representation of the Great Hall with its patched-together dome made of various ship parts - typical for the Nihil. In this issue, Ario also gets to draw Lourna Dee for the first time. I liked her in Jeanty's style already, but Anindito gives her a really creepy look that is almost nightmarish. He also captures Marchion Ro's sinister presence masterfully, though only as a hologram. And at this point it’s probably no secret that I'm completely in love with Ario's insanely beautiful portrayals of Avar Kriss and Keeve Trennis.
Just as always, Ario Anindito knows how to make use of the full potential of the visual medium. For example, on the very first pages, he juxtaposes Lourna and Marchion by drawing one half of each of their faces side by side. Issue 13 is filled with dynamically arranged panels that highlight the action of the story. The action itself is also another huge plus for this issue. At no moment there is uncertainty about which character is moving and how they move, their lightsaber swings are easy to follow and give life to the action. The strongest page of the comic is the double-page spread in which Avar takes apart Lourna's armor, but the march of the Jedi in the beginning of the issue creates an equally compelling moment and is now one of my favorite panels of the entire series.
Anindito also pays attention to the little things, for instance, Avar's hair opening up from her braids as soon as she is defeated by Keeve. And as the issue progresses, more and more smudges accumulate on her cloak. These details make the action so much more tangible and create a more realistic feeling of the frenzy that is going on - as do the emotions on the characters' faces, which Ario captured masterfully at all times, making me empathize with them and giving the protagonists emotional depth.
Lastly, I would also like to point out the colors of this issue, which we have Carlos Lopez to thank for. The color scheme within the Great Hall, contrasting dark backgrounds and vibrant characters is particularly beautiful. This issue is not too colorful in terms of varying shades, but rather chose to focus on the green of the warcloud, the orange of the fire and the colors of the lightsabers, while the background is kept in matte tones and allows for the action to stand out, creating a striking unity spreading throughout the pages. I also noticed that the background occasionally goes extra dark in Avar's moments - a small detail with a giant effect. I would love to see this team work together more often!
Conclusion
The High Republic #13 takes us to the heart of No-Space and delivers not only fast-paced, exciting action with terrifically staged fight sequences, but also surprising, gripping conflicts between characters and their confrontations with their own deeds. While Avar morally grows ever closer to her nemesis Lourna, Keeve serves as the voice of reason, watching from the side and trying to stop Avar's rampage just as desperately as the reader may want to. The tense atmosphere, magnificently illustrated and colorfully captured by Ario Anindito and Carlos Lopez, lends spectacular intensity to the troubling plot, imbued with interesting connections and striking character beats by Cavan Scott, making issue #13 one of the most pivotal moments in the story of Avar Kriss, Keeve Trennis, and Lourna Dee.

What a FANTASTIC installment! Beautifully drawn, excitingly written, and suspenseful as kriff! I might go so far as to say that this might have be one of the best moments in the High Republic project so far.
Excellent work, Cavan Scott!

#13 – The Battle of No Space – “It’s the JEDI! They’ve FOUND us!” – Zeetar
January 19, 2022
Wow! Another great issue, with tons of shocking moments. My mouth was agape the entire read, another knockout for Cavan Scott!
January 20, 2022
”I can’t do that and I really hope you know why. It wasn’t that long ago that you took Sskeer’s saber for killing in cold blood. But he’s sick. His judgement was clouded by his pain. What’s your excuse, Marshal?”
The Jedi, led by Avar Kriss, attack the Nihil base, determined to capture the Tempest Runner Lourna Dee. While fighting to help put an end to the threat of the Nihil, Keeve Trennis must look out for Avar, who has become hellbent on revenge and is teetering dangerously close to embracing her anger and forgetting the ways of the jedi.
This issue was very intense and dramatic, and, as a huge fan of Avar's character, an absolute delight. Her journey over the past few issues has been super exciting to follow. I like how this comic has really shown that despite her being lauded as one of the best Jedi of her time, she is still so deeply human: she is angry, frustrated and she wants to avenge all the people who have been killed, all the people she has lost. She has come so far from where she started in this comic and the initiative as a whole - and as you can see from the interactions between the two of them, so has Keeve. Their relationship is no longer what it used to be. Keeve is no longer idolising Avar, seeing her as this grand master - instead, she's seeing her humanity come out in dangerous ways.
I'm eager to see how this comic will end and how it will tie to the events of the novel the Fallen Star as we know it will. I also want to mention once again how gorgeous the art is in this comic. The fight scenes - and there were plenty of those in this issue - were especially very dynamic.

"I liked it!" - 3 out of 5 star rating.
Full of great action and what feels like a path towards the conclusion of this fifteen (15) issue comic book series coming to an end here within these last 3 comics.
Avar takes quite an unexpected turn here, Lourna's fate is on the line, and Nihil as a whole are having lots of problems. I suspect Ro is incoming in these last 2 issues and if my intuition is true, I hope he gets some great representation here.
2 more to go.

Oh my!
This was super fast, i think it took me less than a minute to finish this hahaha. Superb action and the art is BACK! Thank goodness because issue 12 was atrocious in that regard. I love this "new" Avar, she's so much fun. I can't wait for issue 14 because that endind was amazing.
Overall: Fantastic.

This was a fantastic issue. There is a fragility to balance that no Jedi is immune from as evidenced by Avar Kriss. When she spared the Drengir I thought there could have been reason to kill it, but now she’s slaughtering the Nihil. Admittedly, they are fighting back and trying to kill the Jedi, but there is a level of hypocrisy in what is accepted.
January 19, 2022
Avar Kriss just entered her reputation era and I am absolutely here for it.
February 14, 2022
Avar is going NUTS! I see now why this arc is titled "Jedi's End." It's not just the death in the first issue.
February 21, 2022
Avar is a badass! :D I hope we'll see her in a movie or tv show once! Great story, I really love this, so thrilling.
February 23, 2022
This issue was intense. I know I don't want to ever be on Avar's bad side.. or make a liar out of her 0.0 Excellent issue, awesome story going on here, fantastic artwork.
April 3, 2022
Really love these characters, but having read Fallen Star and knowing what is coming does give a sad edge to any victory they have
April 30, 2022
Avar going Vader? Here for it.
