I loved this!!! I need there to be a second one right this second! Now I'm not your typical star wars fan because if I'm being honest I prefer the prequel era to the original trilogy. I just find it more interesting I I think the Clone wars TV series is the best thing ever made under the star wars name. And I'm so happy that Disney isn't just ignoring this era like ibwas worried they would. This is great I love seeing kanan as a young Jedi I wished they showed a little more of him during the war itself but oh well I find the character fascinating and I didn't want to put the book down! It's fantastic.
This series follows Kanan, the so-called 'Last Padawan', and main character of the currently running 'Star Wars Rebels' TV series. While this series is not quite as good as 'Star Wars' or 'Darth Vader', it is still enjoyable, and does a lot with very little familiar territory.Kanan picks up during 'Order 66', as the clones betray the Jedi and begin wiping them out. Kanan is forced to make a new life, and the story follows him there. Although we don't really get any big story arcs with this first volume, it's worth a read and I'd recommend staying tuned for the second to see whether it gets better.
I'm a big fan of the SW:REBELS series. I was hesitant at first to pick this series up, but by the end of Vol. 1 I was glad I did. While I'm not that keen on the cover art, I really enjoy the interior art of the story. The characterizations match well and Kanan's back-story is entertaining. This review is for the Kindle edition, and I'm looking foward to picking up the physical book and reading Vol. 2 when it's released.
As someone who hasn't seen any episodes of "The Clone Wars" or "Rebels" shows, this was a bit of a blind purchase, but I was pleasantly surprised by the comic's strong story and solid art (at least for the first five issues: kudos to Pepe Larraz for excellent work). Like a good Robert Heinlein juvenile, I could see myself purchasing this for the younger readers in my family who've expressed interest in either the Star Wars universe or science fiction in general.
Kanan is a new character to Rebels, but he was around during the Clone Wars. We've already had an origin story of him meeting Hera in A New Dawn, but this story goes back farther to the moment that ended the Clone Wars, Order 66. This is the first in-depth account of Order 66 in the new canon, other than the film.The relationship between Kanan and the clone troopers is very interesting. I'm very interested to see that relationship more if its origin is explored in Volume 2.This graphic novel reminded me of some of the Dark Times dark horse comics. It was cool to see the events that made Kanan the way he is. It was also very cool to see the Rebels crew drawn in a different style.I give this graphic novel a 5/5. I look forward to the next volume.
What would you do if you were blacklisted witchhunt style? Of the many choices available in regards to new SW comics, I chose Kanan because I primarily wanted a new story with new characters I'm not familiar with. What I ultimately got in return for taking a chance on this book was a compelling story of one Jedi's struggle to evade and survive the purge of order 66 carried out by the clone troopers. Throughout the story, Kanan must learn to adapt to a world that has turned on his kind by transforming his identity in ways that mostly reject his Jedi teachings. If you want adventure, excitement, and a sense of danger at every turn, Kanan will serve you well.
Very good I really wanted t know more about Kanan and with this it did well and I would read again
Great expansion of Rebels universe. The art is brilliant (far more art than text). The story was complex enough to satisfy me (an adult professional) and simple enough to intrigue my second-grade daughter. Volume 2 comes out soon.
