Star Wars- Dawn of the Jedi: Force storm (2012) TPB
Author: John Ostrander
Publisher: Dark Horse Books
Pub date:2012
OVERVIEW
Here begins the tale of the dawn of the Jedi, the Star Wars
of 25,000 years ago--before light sabers, before hyperspace travel, before the
Jedi spread throughout the galaxy, when connections to the Force were new.
On
the planet Tython, a group of beings--scientists, philosophers, and
warriors--strive to maintain peace and to balance the mystic Force.
REVIEW
So you've been wanting to read about the Star Wars’ Jedi
group before they were even truly Jedis with all the cool light sabers,
lighting bolts and amazing acrobatics? Well then this is for you!
I for one was underwhelmed with the new batch of characters introduced
in this series where you only get an inkling of where the beginnings of the
Jedi sprouted from.
Apart from a couple fleeting pages of good/bad Jedi using
their powers to help/dwindle the masses the main plot point is lost in the
yawn-inducing series.
The lone bright point is the artwork by long-standing comic
mainstay, Jan Duursema which manages to capture new alien characters and
worlds.
Hopefully the second volume jacks up the adrenaline to make the series
more worthwhile as a big collection than this initial volume.
RATING
1 out of 5 MONSTERS
