Okay, I love Mace Windu, but I feel this comics did him a bit dirty just to introduce a new villain.

As much as I love Mace Windu, this isn't drawing me in much so far. I do like the art, though. Has a bit of an 80s vibe to it.

This book sure is wordy… I think I lost the thread two or three times there just trying to keep up will all the talk about finances and political schemes. Didn’t help that most of it was telling with very little showing.
There were interesting details, like how the clone army came about. But there were also many things I didn’t enjoy, from how this is more a book about Palpatine than Plagueis to how Palpatine is the reason Padmé was Queen.
I’m glad this is legends and I can disregard it. I was expecting more. I’m quite disappointed and hope whatever canon makes of Plagueislike that hint we had in The Acolyte is better than this book was.

GAAAAH! Ok ok ok, now we're really back into things.
That was such a good comics to introduce phase 3! The Avar and Elzar interactions broke me (my poor babies mourning their third 😭 ) and the last issue was incredible! I can't wait for Marchion to turn on Ghirra when she ceases to be useful.
I would've switched issues 2 and 3 around for fluidity in the storytelling (since the first scene of issue 3 happens before the first scene of issue 4) but the rest was great! Knocking off .25 for artists never able to keep Elzar's skin tone consistent, though.

Can a Heartstopper book be anything less than 5 stars?
Once again super sweet and emotional. For Nick and Charlie, but also for Tori and Tao and Elle. And even the teachers got their little moment.
I’m excited to see what vol 6 brings!
