Follows a very young Anakin and his master Obi-Wan. Takes place between Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. We see that Anakin was leagues above the other kids he trained with. The Jedi receive a distress signal that sends them to a planet that is not advanced at all. The council sends Kenobi and Skywalker. They meet several locals. We see a lot of educated talk with Kenobi and several characters. We also see a bit of action. We also see many flashbacks to Palpatine taking a great interest in the young Anakin, even clear back then. Back on the planet, Anakin is kidnapped and Obi-Wan is abandoned. He meets a lady named Sara. They hunt down Anakin and take him back, then call in the Republic to take care of the people on the planet.

Great animation style and a fun little story arc. A good lead up to the Obi-Wan show.

Excellent series. Couldn't ask more from a 5 Volume comic.
Anakin and Obi-Wan show something that everyone from star wars needs to see.
Anakin growing up.
Something that the prequels didn't do the best job at(disclaimer, I love the prequel trilogies for what they are, faults and all), is portraying Anakin's emotional slide to the dark side. Overall, there are about 6+ hours of footage that can be crammed into the films. Sure the main plot points and events that caused that(for the most part) are there, but there was a lot more to it. That is why some of my favorite star wars canon materials involve the bits and pieces of Anakin's life that extend the prequel trilogy.
In this series we see more of Palpatine's manipulation, more of Anakin's questions, more of Obi-Wan's grasping attempts to raise someone with so many said questions.
We see an awesome new planet, with a very strange culture and race system, as well as some pretty cool combat scenes.
Overall, I felt that this was what I want out of Star Wars comics and wish there were more than just 5 issues.

I really liked this comic! Great foreshadowing and I really enjoyed the chemistry between Anakin and Obi-Wan as usual. Obi-Wan saying he would leave the Jedi order for Anakin made me

I loved the artwork. Some of the story was meh for me but overall I really liked most of it.

A little interlude before Attack of the Clones where we see Palpatine first digging his claws into a young Anakin that is considering leaving the Jedi altogether. It's a solid little story that is average in story and, in my opinion, art and color. A little on the nose, but I don't necessarily expect more from my Star Wars readings.
