A review by billyjepma
Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures--The Nameless Terror by George Mann, Ornella Savarese, Eduardo Mello

adventurous dark mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

3.5

A solid read—it takes a tried-and-true premise and uses it to add some more shading to the Nameless. There’s not a lot of substance, but Mann’s characterizations are economical and capably get the job done, maybe more than the assignment required, honestly. It’s not all that memorable, but I enjoyed it for what it is. 

The artwork might be the star, too. Mello’s style works well for the YA vibes, and the colors from Efremova and Righi give the pages a vibrancy I absolutely vibed with. The Marvel Star Wars runs have had middling to bad artwork for years now, so I can’t overstate how refreshing it is to see a Star Wars comic with even a shred of style and personality in the artwork.
