The plot began in 'War of the Bounty Hunters' continues as Q'ira's plans are revealed; the continuation of her predecessor Maul's work, the destruction of the Sith, and the establishment of a sort of radical meritocracy across the galaxy with no single centre of power, those rising to lead who are worthy of it and a galactic order based on compromise. It's refreshing to have an (anti)hero who's motivations are based around a politics differing from either the centre-leftism of Mon Mothma or the fascism of the Empire, and it holds the story together much better than in 'War of the Bounty Hunters' as Crimson Dawn's methods of achieving this goal are put into action: a syndicate war stoked by the Dawn's agents to sow chaos across the galaxy, adding to the noise created by the civil war; a scholar of the Force sent to track down any remaining Jedi to rally to their cause; Ochi of Bestoon, changed by his time on Exegol, and Deathstick unleashed to assassinate Palpatine 's Royal Guard; and the Knight's of Ren sent on a mission to infiltrate Darth Vader's Castle and retrieve a relic that will lure the Sith out. I am now back in and invested in how this crossover event plays out!

A fun adventure with clever ideas. And it's just fun to see Qi'ra again.

"This is the story of Crimson Dawn ... This is a tragedy."
I started reading the issues for this when they first came out and thought I had finished last year but ... clearly not. ANYWAY Charles Soule's comics are always top tier and this one is no different. Being very behind on the Bounty Hunter and Darth Vader comics, I also appreciated that I could still easily follow along and not feel too lost. It just made me want to catch up all the more.

This was good; a lot of it seemed just average in saying that I LOVE Lady Qi'ra. She is stunning in the comic; her style is immaculate, and wow... so yeah, I loved all her parts of the comic, and I'm excited to read more of her.
