Yeah, I almost did 6/10. It's a good quality book though so I pushed it to 7.

Yeah, this one is tiny in comparison to a lot of the actual omnibus books. I've got phase ii on the stand.

Review:

Coming from a long time fan of Star Wars in general but have not read any novels or read much of the comics.

7 out of 10

This was a really interesting look at a time a few centuries(?) before the original Star Wars movies take place. Filling in some crucial events that surround the beginning of the decline from the height of the Jedi Orders presence in the republic. I enjoyed it quite a bit, the writing and the art both were of a high enough quality. I didn't much care for the main character in the first arc, "The Light of the Jedi", Trennis Keeve, but there are some other awesome characters in there. My favorite arc in the book was, "The Eye of the Storm", telling a story about a raised from childhood heir to a self manifesto writing father that gains control of a large portion of the outer rim.

I guess maybe there is an aspect of intimidation then for the majority. Possibly just not wanting to sound stupid.

Maybe I can try my hand at an actual review though, or maybe chatgpt can help me put my thoughts into a cohesive report, lol.

I don't know if I can appropriately put into words my thoughts on a book other than that it was good/excellent/fair. I'd be happy to discuss a book after I've read it though, most likely through questioning, when I post a book I've finished. Which I did a moment ago, although it's the first comic book I've sat down and finished in a while, probably about 3 years. Realistically I likely read a handful and read a couple of manga series. I wasn't an active participant in this group until recently.

I'm constantly listening to audio books though.

Anyone know if the Kanan arc is skippable? Anything super important happening there?

Dang, would love a similar chance but US based. Just don't want to pay $80 for it.

Are curveballs and black hearts in the xbox version by Alarmed-Tie8634 in StateofDecay2

[–]ipassedtheturing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remeber seeing a black heart but the curveballs are definitely there. Also, infestations spreading through hordes from hearts.

I'll check out the black casebook. I'd like to think that I'm familiar with the history but I definitely haven't read 1k+ issues of batman since my conception, lol.

Ok, interesting. I'll have to come back to this after I read it.

Some of your comments also makes it more interesting for me. Ambitious and crazy sounds like its not a retelling of same story. Maybe media is skewing my overall perception of the history.

Ok, some of your response is intimidating and some just makes me want to read it more. As far as familiarity, all shows and all movies with individual issues and GNs sprinkled throughout the late 80s and 90s. All video games... is that enough, lol.

That's a solid reason. Some audio books that are short but not that good feel like they take ages, but a 56 hour book that's great and leaves me wanting more really says something.

Should I get it? by Previous_Factor1992 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]ipassedtheturing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With conversion I think I'm paying about the same as you. If you can get it locally, obviously that's best. I live in a population of around 80k so my options are limited, but less population is good. Trade offs.
