Star Wars: The High Republic - The Blade by Marco Castiello, Charles Soule, Jethro Morales

adventurous mysterious fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Loveable characters? Yes

4.0

In a refreshing change of pace, this is a breezy standalone Jedi adventure that has some good artwork (a rarity in the Star Wars comics world, these days!) and solid characters that are easy to get invested in, even though the time we spend with them is short. The ending is a little sudden and not-quite satisfying, but still, as a Jedi-centric tale, it hits on most of the notes I’d want, and gives some additional depth to a memorable supporting character from the High Republic novels. Glad that there’s another one on the way!
