This continues a string of Dark Horse era Star Wars comics I’ve read that were simply “fine”.
This isn’t a terrible story and I do kind of love the continued trend of a hero losing their arm and replacing it with robotics (in this case an old droid arm). I also appreciate the idea that these people on Onderon have been under the influence of the Dark Side for so long and that has influenced the events among the different groups of people.
Unfortunately none of this is satisfying enough to elevate its rating higher for me. It’s a decent enough story but not reaching some of the highs I’ve experienced with other Star Wars stories in both canon and “Legends”.
